Day 37 of 173

So, today didn't really go as planned (at least not as far as my daily goals are concerned) but, all in all, I had a good day and I don't really feel guilty about any of it.  EXCEPT...  I stopped at McDonalds and got Ethan a 4 pc chicken nugget meal w/a Sprite and me a small fry and a large Coke.  :(  I gave up fast food and eating out at restaurants for Lent...  God is surely working in me!!!  I didn't even finish my fries and I used to be able to down a large one in no time; I even felt guilty as soon as just one of those fries were in my mouth.  Shame on me!!  Plus, Ethan didn't even eat his...  He had maybe one nugget and I don't think he even ate any of his fries.  So, I know I need to work on the planning portion of my days a little better.  I didn't take any meat out of the freezer and I didn't even think about it until it was after 5:00 and Jason wanted to go look at kitchen tables and chairs after he got out of work.  It just threw everything off...  The thing I learned from this is that I need to PLAN better!!!  P.S.  I took pork chops out of the freezer for tomorrow night.  :)

I got up this morning at 0830 but fell back to sleep...  Got up and started cleaning the house.  I had someone coming over that had never been here before and I at least wanted the kitchen and living room decent.  Jessica from church came over and watched Ethan so I could keep my appointment at the salon (hair trim & pedicure)!!!  I didn't realize last week when I made this appointment that Ethan would be on Spring Break and I didn't have anyone to watch him.  Thankfully Jess wasn't busy and said she would watch him.  Praise the Lord for her!!!  :)  So, I busted my butt for over an hour, cleaning the house, worked up a sweat, and just kept moving the whole time.  I do not think that replaces going to the gym but I know that I did some good stuff this morning.

Today's goals were:
1.  Get up at 0830.  CHECK
2.  Be to gym by 0915!  NOPE
3.  Depending on shins, do Wk 1 Day 3.  If not, then burn 500 calories on the Arc trainer.  NOPE
4.  Eat all meals at home.  NOPE :(
5.  Be in bed by 11:00p.  NOPE

So, tomorrow is another day...  I am going to get a board that I can write my (daily) plans on and keep visible throughout the day.  And also write the menu for the week on it.  I am excited about that.  That part will be fun!!!  B/c if you fail to plan...  You plan to fail!!!  And who wants to plan to fail?!?!?  Not this person, I can tell you that!!!

I am going to watch Jimmy Kimmel Live from last night to find out who the next Bachelorette is going to be and then I am going to bed.  I don't think I am going to waste my time watching the Bachelor/ette anymore...  Last night was just a waste!!!

Tomorrow's goals are:
1.  Be up by 0900 (let's try this).
2.  Be to the gym by 1000 (at the lastest).
3.  Do cardio on the elliptical/weight loss program.
4.  Eat ALL meals @ home.
5.  Be in bed by 11:00p (will continue shooting for this!).

Main goal (right now):  I will lose 40 lbs by 1Aug11!!!  :)  That is a total of 4.5 months and averages about 9 lbs/month.  I can do that!!!  REALLY gotta work on the food portion of my life!  Tomorrow, I will keep track of every single calorie that goes into my mouth and see what I am starting at and then subtract what I need to to make this happen!

G'nite!!  :)
