Winter Wonderland Warriors Update! Week 6

My positive picture of the week...
I really love this picture :)
  1. What have you done this past week to help you achieve your goals? This week I really bumped up my foot mileage...and plan to keep it higher the entire month of February in order to meet my goal. I did really good with food, until Sunday night...I made homemade chicken noodle soup. It was terrible but I ate it anyway (so did sweet hubby). It was just tasteless. After eating the soup, I was still hungry and grazed around the kitchen. I didn't go over my calories by too much, but it was mindless eating.
  2. New month! Fresh starts! How are you feeling in February? I am hoping February is a great month, and that I finally see some scale movement.
  3. Are you competitive? I am hugely competitive with most things. I want to WIN. In weight loss, I only compete with myself. I will be honest in saying that I get discouraged when my scale doesn't move and I see other dropping weight like crazy...I want that too. But this is my journey to health to to being a skinny mini...if I keep on doing the right things there will be a good outcome.
  4. What is your favourite outdoor winter activity? {Southerners can answer winter if they visit the snow, or just what you like to do outside} I really enjoyed sledding with we had our snow in January. I would love to vacation somewhere with lots of snow and ski/sled/tube. I think that would be awesome!
  5. Fun Question of the Week: What would be your ideal way to spend a Saturday night? Tommy and I don't "go out" all that much. We are 40+ minutes away from the "city" and he is not much for going out on the town. I love heading to town for dinner and window shopping :) and maybe a movie too if we are being really "wild" LOL :)

Winter Wonderland Warriors Update! Week 3

This week was wild with all the snow and being off from work. Because I was unable to get to the gym for most of the week, my foot mileage is behind, but I am hopeful to get caught back up in the next few weeks. I am on target with my bike miles. This weekend, I also missed two days of 7 fruits and veggies. I got about 4 servings on both days.

This week's positive picture is from my first 5k. I was so excited about running that race!  I am looking forward to running that same race again this year..and hopefully shaving some time off.



Week Three {January 17, 2011}:
  1. What have you done this past week to help you achieve your goals? Even though I didn't hit the gym like I normally would this week, the snow did allow for some extra activity. We played hard in the snow sledding, having snow ball fights, and just having fun. It was a nice new way to get in activity :)
  2. Do you find that your motivation/mood changes in the winter? If so, what do you do to help/avoid it? My motivation always slacks in the winter. When I get off work I am so tempted to just go home and hide under the covers, instead of hitting the gym. Making fitness goals for myself really helps keep me motivated to go to the gym even when I don't want to go :)
  3. Do you have any advice for your fellow challengers on staying on task? I like making lists and crossing thing out as I accomplish them.
  4. What day{s} of the week/month do you find it difficult to stay on task/motivated? I always have a hard time during PMS..Thursdays are my week day that I usually have to fight myself to stop at the gym...I am not sure why...maybe because it is usually a busier day at work.I accommodate that by allowing Thursdays (instead of Friday) to be a rest day occasionally.
  5. Fun Question of the Week: If you were going on a road trip {longer than a day} who would you take with you? Where would you go? I would take Tommy...and I would love to road trip again in the Smokie Mountains of Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina.
