Goals for the week

OK, I am back on track.
I weighed in yesterday at 153.8, my lowest since leaving Redding two years ago. Woo hoo! Just another 19 more pounds to lose by summer! I have already lost 9.2 in 3 months, so I just need to keep on track!

My goals for the week:
1) Exercise every day for at least 20 minutes (which is actually feasible now b/c the elliptical was delivered and assembled yesterday. I can work out while Devon watches Einsteins or Elmo now.)
2) Eat more fruits and veggies. I bought three pre-packaged fruit and veggie trays yesterday which I am going to divide into tupperware tubs. One tub a day to stay on track!)
3) Buy Josh a good multivitamin so he is not sick all the time-- It is easier for me to stay on track when I am settled into my normal routine. (He was sick ALL last week. Very hard to find any personal time at all when your hubby is sick.)
4) Drink at least 80 ounces of water a day (about 10 glasses or 5 water bottles).

I just want to get this done already!

P.S. I scheduled a check up with the doctor and everything to make sure there are no physical impediments to my weight loss. Plus I want to get a handle on my panic attacks.

Go Kari!! I'm working on mine too, very slow progress, but at least I'm going in the right direction. It was nice to talk the other night, we'll call when we head to Vacaville and meet for lunch!

Cool. It is always nice to see family. Plus Devon misses his Nana and Papa. Good luck on your dieting too!

Yeah! Good for you, I'm glad things are working for you, with the the elliptical in your home, it should be a lot easier for you to find time to do cardio. I hope you get something for your panic attacks, I used to have them to for awhile. Not fun, zanex is a good med to take to quickly control panic attacks. Anti-anxiety might be a way to go to, ask your doctor about that, since I started on wellbutrin xl, I haven't had any problems with anxiety (I was an obsessive worrier, and easliy overwelmed by stress-which sounds like you as well) it's no fun to let stress control your life, belive me I know!
