Last night, I wrote out some goals for today.  I am starting to get back to how I was when I first started eating right and working out THREE MONTHS ago.  :)  Can't really believe it's been that long but I am ecstatic about it!  Anyways, I bought a cork/dry erase board a few months back and have gotten away from using it.  Well, I wrote some goals out on it last night and the meal plan (for dinners) and I pretty much stuck to it today!  I've gotta update it when I am done writing this.  I am feeling a little bit more put together.  Granted, it's only been a day but it's all about progress and that is exactly what I am doing!...  Progressing!  :)

On this board, at the top, I have a saying that I found in the Oxygen magazine:  A FIT woman owns a POWERFUL body and an equally FIERCE brain, but she also possesses good HEALTH!  (Emphasis is mine.)  I just LOVE this so much!

I also wrote out my goals for the day, and they were:
1. Have E to school by 0930 (we are notorious for being late).  SUCCESS...  YAY!
2. Go to gym & do Legs/Calves.  SUCCESS!!
3. Call Aunt Donna & text Mary.  SUCCESS!
4. Take midterm.  I didn't; did other homework instead.
5. Eat CLEAN!!!!!  SUCCESS!!

After writing this out, last night, while laying in bed, I added a couple more goals to my notebook b/c I had to make sure I got some things done.  :)

1. Goals on board.  SUCCESS!  (I consider this a success even though I didn't complete number 4.)
2. After gym, get stuff for dinner.  SUCCESS!
3. Blog!  SUCCESS!
4. Be in bed by midnight at the latest.  SUCCESS!
5. Start on project for Sports & Drugs class. Email Rach Kinesiology stuff.  SUCCESS!

Today was Legs/Calves day @ the gym and the workout goes as follows:
Leg extensions:  3x10 @ 40 lbs
Widestance Barbell Squat:  3x10 @ 18 lbs
Walking Barbell Lunges:  3x10 @ 18 lbs
Single-leg Deadlifts:  3x10 @ 15 lbs
Lying Leg Curl:  3x10 @ 25 lbs
Seated Calf Raise:  3x10 @ 30 lbs
Standing Calf Raise:  3x10 @ 15 lbs

If you are wondering, yes it was a KILLER workout!  Always is!!!  Actually, all of Jamie's workouts are killer.  I can't wait to take pics, measurements, and weight on Sunday (the end of Phase 1; the first 4 weeks of the program)!!!  See, I KNOW that I know that I KNOW that changes are happening but I just can't see them and that fact makes it hard to accept the fact that things are REALLY happening.  Do you know what I mean?

Anyways, I am so extremely proud of myself...  Well, first of all, let me start by saying that I have been having headaches for over a week now, every day, off and on, and nothing seems to help them.  So, I went to my chiropractor this afternoon and he adjusted me (I LOVE THIS!) and told me to come back in one week.  Upon leaving there, we stopped at Crest for ingredients for tomorrow night's dinner (stuffed bell peppers in the crock pot!).  :)  Anyways, I saw bad things ALL over the stinkin store but I did not buy ONE THING!  I wanted to...  OH how I wanted to!  But I walked out with what was written on my list and none of the bad, sugar-loaded CRAP!  I have also been reading labels and ingredients and comparing different brands.  I am learning and making this an every day part of my life and I am LOVING it!!!  Yesterday, I made the decision to EAT CLEAN this week and I am off to a great start!  :)

Tomorrow's Goals are:
1. Get up at 0800.
2. Prepare dinner & put in crockpot.
3. Be to gym by 0915 (time the Child Watch opens).
4. Fold and put away clothes in the clothes basketS!
5. Wash, dry, fold, put away towels.
6. Go through the toys in Ethan's room (corner).
7. Unload dish washer & LOAD it!
8. Work some more on Sports & Drugs project.


Okay, those are just some things that I have to get done and if I don't hold myself accountable, I (more than likely) will not do them!!!

I am gonna finish this up, close laptop, turn off lights, make sure E is covered up, take my meds/vitamins, hop into bed, write out some things in my notebook, and go to sleep by midnight.  I have 28 minutes!!!  Thank you for reading and for helping hold me accountable!

From my journey to yours!  G'nite!!!  :)
