I've been so lame this week. Actually, I've been lame for months now. :(
I'm keeping up with some blogs, and working on walking everyday. The truth is, I drink too much. I love having a cocktail or beer with my DH; he loves socializing and eating dinner out.
Something's gotta change....

Happy Easter!
I was doing so well with my 10K steps a day...til Friday. I got home and hadn't even hit 4,000. I had to pick up my son from camp and we ended up eating at the BK Lounge. Once I'd eaten my garden burger (no mayo) and side salad, I ended up on the couch feeling a nap trying to overtake me. By the time Hubba-hubba came home I was in a funk. So I forced myself out the door and took a walk. When I got home I was in a much better mood, so we went out for the night.
Now I like going out if I get a chance to sleep in - theoretically - but my eyes auto-open at 7am no matter what I do. I stayed home all day Saturday and cleaned house. I didn't get 10K steps in, but the energy I expended cleaning must count up to something.
We had our fourth CD challenge meeting last night and I didn't drink at all. Had five friends over, they all got trashed but I drank water. It worked for me. We stayed up late, some of us later than others (I gave in to the sleepies at 2am - Hubba-hubba stayed in the hot tub 'til wee morning hours) and again I was wide awake at 7am this morning. I'll so be ready for a nap later....
So, I'm getting it off my chest now that I realize I won't get 10K steps in today and I will probably eat more than my allotted 1500 calories today what with dinner at my parents and dessert at the in-laws...plus chocolate will be around. Yesterday I found dark chocolate peanut M&Ms. OMFG! WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO DO TO ME?!? I'm not a big candy eater however dark chocolate is my weakness. Thank goodness I'm pretty much done with run of the milk chocolate after 3 mouthfuls. I'm just confessing now that I'm finishing up my week with a total downhill slide. *Sigh* I will have to really concentrate next week on meeting all of my goals.
GOALS:
10K steps per day
Less than 1500 calories per day
Make dinner at home at least five nights
Drink 4 liters of water each day
That's not much to worry about is it?

Goals: WALKING
I got this fancy new pedometer. I thought it was really cool...and then I saw the four dead ones I have sitting on my dresser. Meh, this time it will be different.
Right?
So far right! Last week I logged nearly 67,000 steps. My goal is 70,000 which, of course, takes an average of 10,000 per day. I was pretty proud of the fact that in the middle of the week I only logged 7,000 steps a couple of those days so I ramped it up over the end of the week to try and make up for it. I didn't quite get there but I'm pretty stoked about how well I did. Five days out of seven I made it past 10K. That's huge for me. It was one of my goals for the week to walk half an hour every day - I got that accomplished AND my goal for three weeks out which is to ramp it up to a goal of 45 minutes a day of walking. I'll have to think of another goal I guess. One that involves another behavior I need to work on - like hoarding newspapers or pinching small babies when their mothers aren't looking.

Weigh day
Today is my weigh in day. I'm curious to see if there's any progress to be seen yet. I kinda went on the straight and narrow right before the official weigh in so I'm wondering what my weight would have been if I had just kept on like I was....slowly getting fatter and fatter and fatter. It can really creep up on you!
I walked over 10K steps Monday and Tuesday but only got in 7K yesterday. I think it will probably be all right though. Don't want my legs falling off. Its been nice to be able to sit in the hot tub and let it all relax at night. Kinda makes me not mind paying $100 a month to keep it running. (No frugality there!)
I had a dream last night that someone gave me $4800 to start a business. Like it was known that I had this burning desire to begin working on this idea I had and this organization heard about it and found me and gave me the money. Sadly, I don't remember what my burning desire was. If I knew that I think I'd be on my way out of this paper bag of mid-life crisis I can't find my way out of.
If someone gave you $4800 to start a venture - what would you do with it?
