Last Saturday I joined in with Loretta’s Spring Challenge and I did pretty good this past week. More or less….
- Exercise every single day.
- I accomplished this…. I exercised every single day and this coming week will be the same. I need to increase my walking times so some days are going to have to be doubled up.
- Drink my Wheatgrass/Vegetables every morning to make sure I am getting all my nutrients.
- I did not drink any for the last 3 days because my Wheatgrass isn’t quite ready but tomorrow I’ll be back on track.
- Eat more protein. Especially after a strength training session.
- I have a jug of protein powder in the back of my car with my shaker cup so I managed to have some protein right after my sessions. I also had some HB Eggs, and lean cut meats on hand during the day for an extra boost.
- Lose another 5 inches (overall body) by May 3rd.
- Haven’t measured yet… going to do that next weekend.
- If it doesn’t provide me some kind of valuable nutrition, then don’t put it in my mouth.
- Still working on this one. Key is to not have the “stuff” around the house in the first place.
- Be Kind to Myself
- I am going to work on NOT beating myself up when I mess up and just move on.
I have the little man this weekend and thoroughly enjoying my time with him. Sorry about the poor picture (shadows), I was sneaking a picture from behind my lamp and candle box. Nice hair …LOL.
Last night, his dad and GF (who is carrying my new granddaughter), came over to take him to the 3D movie - “How to Train Your Dragon”. It sounds like such a cute movie that I’m going to have to go see it. Cartoon or not, this adult is going. They stayed for dinner so we got a good visit in. My son is quite allergic to my dog so he can’t stick around here too long but he did get to play with his son for awhile. I love my son to death, but he really needs to be a more active participant in his sons life (they have been separated since Aiden was 2). I don’t want to elaborate more, let’s just say I’ve expressed my concerns numerous times….
Aiden and Katie (dog) have become best friends this weekend and she sits with him all the time. I’ve been trying to get a picture but each time I get up to grab the camera, she gets down from sitting with him to follow me. She’s a mama’s girl and needs to go where I go. Silly dog…
I have lots more to say but going to save it for later :)
But before I sign off, I wanted to just say “Hello” to all my new followers. Welcome to my journey….hope I don’t bore you too much.
I hope everyone is having a FANTASTIC weekend.

love the pic of your grandson...
ReplyDeleteI like cartoon movies too. Having kids does that to you.
Have you seen alice in wonderland? It was a really good movie.
Great job on your goals.
Love the "be kind to myself" one. It's so important and one I think we ignore the most. It's so easy to be critical and hate on oursevles. Also it's so very self-defeating.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on making all those goals. Very impressive.
Your grandson looks like a cutie. Love that hair. :)
Love your "key" tip of not having the crap around in the first place! So true, so true. Overall it sounds like you knocked this first week out of the park though so you have to be happy with that :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat goals, and your doing great with them!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a good week on the Challenge! And I agree with not having stuff around you don't want to eat... you can't eat what's not there!
ReplyDeleteUh-oh... you forgot one part of the Spring Challenge: to say one thing each week that you like about yourself. I can think of one: you are a loving, caring Grandma!
Such a cute picture of your grandson!

=^..^=
sounds like a great challenge and you did good on it - like the tips
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie Aiden is! Your new challenge goals look great. I am thinking about doing it too...:-)
ReplyDeleteHello fellow Tigger!
ReplyDeleteI started Loretta's Spring Challenge on April 1st. Looks like you're challenging those goals. It'll be fun to track these weeks together. Keep on Keep'n on!
