Hi! I had such a good weekend. Took yesterday off of running, though. I slept until 11! Slept till 10 this morning, I think. But I got a good six mile run in today. Felt great. Good thing it has been so cool or I would not have been able to go so late.
I've got some goals for this week. I'll report on them!
1. No pop
2. No eating out
3. No CANDY/dessert
4. Keep a food diary
5. Keep my calories under 2K/day
6. Run hills 3x this week
7. Run at 6 am rather then 6:30
It is time I get back on track!

Christmas Goals
I've been meaning to tell you that I did NOT lose five extra pounds! But I do have goal for Christmas.
Goal 1: Run every day with two days off. I do not know which two days I'll take off, but I do want to make sure I run and do not slack!
Goal 2: Weigh in every day and make sure I'm staying in my 130 range.
Goal 3: NO eating cookies alone! I tend to do this....do I think the calories do not count if nobody sees?!?!
Did you get your 5 down?

Julie's Challenge
I have been really struggling with motivation in regards to this exercise thing. Well, actually, regarding a lot of different things. But I have thought of a doable goal/challenge for myself. I have been thinking of it for the last couple of days, and am officially starting it tomorrow.
For the next 30 days I WILL exercise for 30 minutes every day. It could be a bike ride, or maybe jogging, it may be a "health walk" (that means speedy!), it might just be a thirty minute mosey while I am talking on the phone. But I am going to get moving for 30 minutes every day.
See? Doable. Easy even!
So the basic rule is 30 minutes every day. That said, I can skip a day. If I do, I need to make it up the next day (or over the course of the next couple of days). I cannot, however, "pay it forward". If I walk for 40 minutes on Monday that does not mean I can jog for 20 minutes on Tuesday. In addition, if I skip Friday I cannot add up all the extra 10 or 15 minutes from the preceding week and apply that to Friday's exercise. The time must be made up after the fact. Otherwise I am cheating.
I was thinking that I come up with these gigantic "I'm gonna" plans and maybe it is just too big a bite of the apple to chew. Maybe that is why I get overwhelmed and just stop.
30 minutes for thirty days is chewable.
