Goal Post: Week 1

Goal #1: Um, showers went ok. I mainly didn't get to shower yesterday, but that was due to our shower having a major leak and us having to turn off the water to the whole house until we could fix it today. (Which I did, because I rock that way.)

Goal #2: I have actually done quite awesome at this. Most days I had one cup of coffee, and one pepsi. There were actually one or two days I didn't have pepsi at all. *gasp!* I am rediscovering things like juice and propel water for when I am thirsty instead of always just grabbing a pepsi. I am quite proud of this goal this week.

Goal #3: Have no idea how the weight loss is going, as it seems our scale is broken. Sigh.

Goal #4: I have been doing better at eating healthier things. I know one thing is I need to make myself eat when I get up. I have been watching my portions as well. I now know that a serving of cheez-its is 27 crackers. I think portion control is going to be big for me, because I know that I eat way too much. As for the active side, I did take the kids to the playground this week, and there was a pond there with a walking trail around it. We walked around it once. I think I might try to go walking there more often, it has a sign that says one lap is 1/3 of a mile. So I could actually know how far I walk and set some goals for myself.

So I think this was a successful first week. I think the hardest thing is missing the caffeine, I have felt really sluggish and tired all week. I think learning to eat healthy foods to get energy, and have my body not used to being dependent on caffeine is going to be an uphill battle.
