Weekly Goals: 10/21/12

This week is going to be a bit odd.  First of all, my Hubby is on vacation from work.  Having him around always throws me off a bit.  Not that I'm not glad he is here!  I just don't always get much done because I feel like I need to spend that precious time with him.  

Secondly, I have a funeral to attend on Tuesday.  A dear saint at our church passed away a few days ago and I am missing him dearly. 

Finally, I have to have a colonoscopy on Wednesday (Yikes!).  That means, right after the funeral on Tuesday, I have to start my prep.  So, the rest of Tuesday is going to be a bit of a wasted day.  

All-in-all, this week is probably not going to be anywhere near "normal." 

Week in Review: 10/14/12

I feel like I actually got most of what I wanted accomplished done this week.  My house is looking pretty good (I really need to clean my bedroom, though), we got through a whole unit in math in three days with the kids knowing the material well, and I got to spend some time with my family and friends.  But, there are still a few things I need to work on.  We had sickness make its way through our family again and I let that be an excuse to not do some things.  Here's how I did on my goals (results in blue):

Thanks for the Accountability

Well, I didn't reach my 10 lb goal this week.  Unfortunately, my monthly visitor decided to pay a call and bring some extra pounds along.  So, my weigh-in yesterday was: 259.4 lbs

That is up 4.8 lbs from last week and puts me back a full month.  But, I'm really not that worried.  I am already down a pound today and I'm sure I will lose it all by the end of the week.  This is pretty normal for this time of month.

I am so thankful for this blog, though!  Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that I announced to the "the world" (or the handful of people who read my blog)  that I was trying to lose weight, I might have gotten frustrated and given up. 

But, because I knew I had to come on here and post about my gain, I really took the time to look at it logically and not just let my emotions run wild.

Having accountability when trying to lose weight can make such a huge difference!  Without it, you have no one to motivate you to do better or encourage you when you feel down.  You also have no one to cheer for you when you succeed.  So, thank you to everyone who reads my blog and helps keep me accountable!
