Monday Monday Monday

Why hello there Monday - why are weekends SO short?! Especially when you get one less hour (thank you day light savings time)

So last week I decided to start making weekly goals posting them on Instagram/Facebook, mostly for accountability, also because I'm an over-sharer in general. Later, in the week, I decided I wanted to start blogging. Mostly, because I'm an over-sharer :) And because, while sharing pictures keeps everyone up to date on progress, sometimes more info is needed to go along with the pictures. So, here we are.

My goals last week looked like this:

1. Insanity Every day

2. Go for a walk every day

3. eat healthy/no fast food/no diet coke/no alcohol

4. lose 3 lbs

5. drink LOTS of water

Here's how I did (where the blogging part is important to go along with the picture):

1. I did do Insanity EVERY DAY! (Except Saturday which is the REST day) WOO HOO!

2. I did NOT go for a walk every day. In fact, I think I only went on walks 2 days out of the week. Hurry spring!!

3. I ate ok - but the husband was gone most of the week and the whole weekend so I wasn't in my normal cooking routine - so it's his fault haha ;) / NO FAST FOOD - Check!! / NO DIET COKE - Check!! / I had a glass of wine 2 nights out of the week. So there was alcohol...but that's HUGE for me!! And did I mention my husband was out of town most of the week?!

4. I did NOT lose 3 pounds. Depending on what day you wanna count I either gained 2 lbs or Lost 1.6. Seriously people how is it physically possible to be up 2 lbs one day and down 1.6 (from starting weight / 2.8 from the day before)?! This is why I'm taking weight off of my goal for this week. I can't focus on this right now. I'm getting healthy that's what matters. Yes I want to lose weight (about 10lbs to be exact) and I know weightloss will come.

Ok so there it is folks. Week one is over. I seriously had such a great week! I felt energized, happy, healthy. And that's what it's all about!

Now onto Week 2 - Here are my goals - if you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you have already seen this, but for the record:

1. Insanity Every day

2. Yoga Every day -- started yoga last week. I'm in love and will continue to practice daily. I'm following 2 instagram challenges: #madaboutyoga and #handstandmadness JOIN ME!!

3. Focus on water intake - I drink a lot of water. It's actually all I drink other than protein shakes and green smoothies. But since I've started working out, I don't feel like I'm drinking enough. So this week, I'm going to focus on it and make sure I'm getting the amount I need.

4. Don't weigh every day! SEE #4 ABOVE!

5. Work on meal planning/grocery shop at Whole Foods - I don't eat terrible and I don't eat great. But, one thing is for sure, If I don't have healthy options surrounding me when I get hungry I'll grab whatever is quickest and usually that means NOT GOOD. So, this week I want to focus on having healthy options readily available and know exactly what my next food move will be. Also, I grocery shop at Food Lion. It's right down the street - it's easy and convenient. There is a Whole Foods in town - not close to me not convenient but you know what I'm going to suck it up and go outside the box and shop there this week. I feel like it will be worth it for me and my family!

6. Eliminate Negativity - self explanatory really. I'm focusing on positive changes in my life and have no room for NEGATIVITY!

7. Start the 40 Bags in 40 Days Challenge - I'm messy and unorganized and it's time to work on that. I have clutter everywhere and it's unmotivating and causing unnecessary stress in my life and this week I'm going to start tackling it. I found the 40 bags in 40 days challenge on Pinterest - basically you start cleaning out rooms and drawers and cabinets and closets and collect 40 bags and get it out of your house. BAM!

HERE WE GO ladies and gentlemen -

MAKE IT A GREAT DAY! (And Week)
