1. Life got in the way last week, and I only made it to the gym on the weekend days.

2. My FitBit should be delivered to my office today! So, I'm going to be more MINDFUL... of steps, sleep, and food - I'm going to be tracking on MFP.

3. I want to make it to the gym 3 weeknights this week. If I have to skip, I want to run the steps in my building as opposed to sitting on the couch.

4. I joined the DietBet on parenting, so it'd be nice to not lose my $10 this month. Though I guess that's mid-range, not long-term. I want to transition to a near-paleo lifestyle again, so that is my long term goal. I think.

1. How did last week go? Did you accomplish your goals? I actually was not all that disciplined last week, but somehow I managed to lose that last pound to make it to the 10 pounds lost mark - yay! I'm officially down 10.5 pounds since I started WW 6 weeks ago.

2. What healthy changes are you making this week? Working on getting back on track with walking at lunch and reducing snacks/dessert

3. What is a short term health/fitness goal for the week? I'd like to continue to increase my daily steps, maybe even add in actual exercise(!), and be more diligent about keeping to my WW points.

4. What is a long term health/fitness goal? I'd love to lose another 5-10 pounds and increase my exercise. I'm already feeling so much better and my heartburn has improved dramatically, which is helping to motivate me to keep on track!

1. How did last week go? Did you accomplish your goals? Nope. I ate like crap. I only met my step goal once (and my step goal is only 7500). I did go to yoga twice and Bodypump once, so that was good at least. I gained a pound back.

2. What healthy changes are you making this week? Stop eating sweets every day. Get back to moving most days.

3. What is a short term health/fitness goal for the week? Yoga and Bodypump, step goal at least 3 days, avoid desserts and alcohol.

4. What is a long term health/fitness goal? Be active throughout the winter. Be healthy. Maintain weight.

1. How did last week go? Did you accomplish your goals? For the most part. I worked out 2 nights which is 2 more than the previous week! I pushed myself a little too hard one night and didn't stretch well so I paid for it. Eating has still been very good, although it's easy to stick to a diet when someone else (my H) is cooking all your meals for you! I lost 5 lbs last week for a total loss so far of 8 lbs.

2. What healthy changes are you making this week? This week I'm going to work out any day the scale goes up even a little- although I know fluctuations are normal, it keeps me motivated!

3. What is a short term health/fitness goal for the week? See fitness goal above. Also stick to my diet.

4. What is a long term health/fitness goal? I joined the dietbet on Parenting, plus my BMB ganged together and did each put in $50 to lose 6% in 12 weeks (not an option through dietbet but something we all thought would work best). So hopefully to win both of those!

1. How did last week go? Did you accomplish your goals?
Last week went well running wise. I ran 10 miles on Saturday like I planned. It wasn't the best pace ever, but I did it. Food on the other hand, not so great.

2. What healthy changes are you making this week?
Hoping to get my diet under control. I did well yesterday with my salad at lunch and then chicken and veggies for dinner.

3. What is a short term health/fitness goal for the week?
Run 11 miles this weekend.

4. What is a long term health/fitness goal?
Lose another 20lbs.

1. How did last week go? Did you accomplish your goals? I got on the treadmill 5 days but Saturday I just walked because I was le tired. I did lose almost 2# so I was pretty happy. I'm 5 away from where I usually stall out so I'm getting closer!

2. What healthy changes are you making this week? I'm still trying for 5 days of the treadmill + trying to get more sleep. Everyone around me is sick and I don't want to catch it.

3. What is a short term health/fitness goal for the week? 5 days of the mill and using MFP. Next week is test week so I'm trying to avoid stress eating/drinking tons of soda between now and then.

4. What is a long term health/fitness goal? Get to my target weight, cut out caffeine.

1. How did last week go? Did you accomplish your goals? I did barre class three days and hit my step goal at least three (four?) days, so that's good. But I ate too much and drank too much, so that's bad.
2. What healthy changes are you making this week? This week is a loss already. We are going away this weekend and with the holiday weekend our schedule is off. I also have a girls night Wednesday which usually means drinks...
3. What is a short term health/fitness goal for the week? Trying to hit my steps and do barre three times.
4. What is a long term health/fitness goal? I'm still trying to lose any weight. I'm super stuck at this weight. I want to start doing the gym in the am again...just need to do it a few times to get in the rhythm. Maybe next week when things are quieter in life.

My boss sounds like death right now. I keep washing my hands and taking vitamin C drops. H takes huge vit C pills and I'm thinking about adding them the next few weeks too.
