Update on Goals

Goal #1: Race to Train, not train to race.

Progress - ON TRACK. Big success with this one. Deciding to target the Unser Half Marathon was hugely motivating. I've been running consistently this month with a little cross training sprinkled in. Yay!

Goal #2: Win the Battle of the Bulge.

Progress - ON TRACK. Annette's challenge gave me the kick in the pants that I needed. I lost 1.2 lbs in the first week. Slow, but steady progress. Taking the stairs, portion control, and now increased water consumption are my secret weapons.

Goal #3: Get Organized. House has turned to clutter.

Progress - ON TRACK. As I mentioned before, I'm breaking this down into small managable pieces. Trying to do one organization project per week. What a difference it's making! This past week I focussed on organizing DVDs and CDs from piles in drawers to a cabinet.

  3. Great job - something I did with our dvd's (don't laugh!) is alphabetized them - I feel SO much better now knowing exactly what we have and don't have!

  7. Good work! I need to focus on Goal #3, too! My house has also turned to clutter - ugh! I need to follow your example and deal with one project at a time.
    Keep going strong! :)

  9. way to go!! My eating has just been too much lately, not bad food...just too much! So you've given me a little kick to get that under control

  10. Glad to see you are on track! I think 1.2 the first week is great- it's hard to lose fast when you already do a lot of exercise and are a relatively healthy person. Remember it's about permanent changes :)

    I think I need to add your #3 to my list... I have some much organizing I need to do, but I am afraid it will cost me more money. lol

  15. de-cluttering is so very soothing, isn't it? I've spent a lot of this week buying extra storage and putting things away.
    And well done on you other achivements! I'm working on the battle of the bulge too - this week it's muesli for breakfast and lots of water. Thanks for the inspiration!

  17. My big thing this year is also getting organized. It's a process, especially getting everyone else in the house on board, too. WTG with everything!
