Update on goals

1. Exercise 3 days a week. well lets see.. I worked out doing week 4 of the couch to 5k, i realized i need to skip to week 5 as i am just getting back into it and week 4 was too easy woot! i remember a time when week 4 was hard! so when i work out tomorrow week 5 it is! i also went on a walk at lunch today, so i guess technically i have already worked out twice this week!

2. Eating right. i really hard core started my diet yesterday i did have a couple cookies yseterday but otherwise stuck to my diet. i did find one new food i really like. fiber one muffins. they are in a the freezer aisle...soo good!!! they are smaller then they look on the box but filling and delicious!! i have been trying to drink more water as well. last night fr supper we had grilled shrimp, mushrooms, peppers mmmm. bria tried shrimp for the first time too!

3. Save money. this past weekend all i spent money on was groceries, which is budgeted. i spent 112 dollars for 2 weeks worth. i didnt think i did that bad consdiering i also bought kleenex and paper towels in that amount.

4. Pay off bills. we ar eworking on it! slowly plugging away, we have to order pictures family, bria 2 year and charlee 6 month and buy a new carseat soon so those are some bills too.

Update plus weekly meal plan!

1. Exercise 3 days a week. Friday me and a girl from work went on a fast paced walk for about half an hour, i cleaned yesterday and didnt sit much and i think i got close to my 10,000 steps as i didnt put the thing on till 11am. And last night i worked out for 15 minutes on my treadmill! lol. i started a workout on there and boy i think i need to work up to it. and it is hard to work out as bria and brent are staring at me lol.

2. Eating right. Friday night we had spaghetti, saturday i didnt know what to make for lunch so i took one can of tuna in water, drained, chopped up 3/4 of a jar of marinated artichokes, little bit of the juice from the marinade, pepper, put on toast with swiss cheese, carrots and pineapple. mmm. bria even ate the sandwich at least a bit.

3. Save money. well i did spend money a treadmill, but it was used so not that much, but we didnt eat out this weekend which is huge since normally we do eat out at least once a weekend.

4. Pay off bills. Just got paid Friday so i am working on paying off bills. but they are all getting lower THANKFULLY :)

MEAL PLAN:
saturdya night we had nachos, not the healiest but this way we didnt eat out, yesterday lunch we had leftovers and last night we had chicken fajitas. it was healthier since we made our own seasonings instead of the packet. brent puts all this stuff in a bowl and it tastes AWESOME! we also had watermelon with it.

tonight i am going out to eat with friends from high school and brent and bria are having sloppy joes and french fries. Charlee will have cereal and applesauce.

and i just realized i left my sheet with what are meal plan is at home, so i will update that tomorrow

Update on Goals

1. Exercise 3 days a week. Well this starts next week as I wont get the treadmill till this weekend. Next week is kind of a crazy week, so i am going to have to plan a bit. Monday going out to supper with my friends from high school, wednesday is the kids doctor appointments and saturday i have a bachelorette party to go to. BUT i want to QUIT making excuses and start being accountable for my actions.

2. Eating right. As i was going to post here I realized I didnt take anything out for supper....dang. well, now i have to think of something healthy that we have in our house. and brent is not home for supper tonight. Might have to run to the grocery store and grab something...any ideas?

3. Save money. I have been doing really well with swabucks lately. if you havent signed up yet seriously sign up by clicking the box to the right. i have 32 $5.00 amazon gift cards i have earned since november!! and it is a reputable company. they ahve been featured on many news sites. I also have been doing opinon outpost. sign up under me, you do surveys when they ask and you can earn money i have already earned $28.70 since joining only a few short months ago.

I also have been making my own laundry soap (see post below) and really trying to be conservative on this.

4. Pay off bills. well still working on my credit card. after i pay daycare today i will know how much i have paid off and will hav eto update then.

GOALS

Alright here are my goals, I am going to make a few goals then update you guys on how I am doing. I think I need to be accountable to someone...even if Ashley is the only one that reads this (Shout out to Ashley lol)

1. Exercise 3 days a week. I was doing really well with the Couch to 5k program, then it became ridiculously hot and I couldnt run in it. Now this weekend probably I will get a treadmill (if it looks alright and we can make a deal etc) so I am going to start working out 3 days a week. walking at first since it has been awhile. then going on to the couch to 5k again. I want to get fit!!

2. Eating right. I want to eat right and get healthy and lose weight. I want to get down to pre preganancy weight and frankly i am 10 pounds from it, so i feel....well, fat. so here it goes! if you have any recipes that are CHEAP and good and healthy please send them my way, i will make them then review them.

3. Save money. dont we all wish we had more money? i am always searching for the allusive money tree. I want to really watch what i spend. i have been going to the gas station for a treat more often then a "treat" is needed. I could save a ton of money this way.

4. Pay off bills. We are doing fairly well in this are. as one credit card is paid off and one is sooooo close to being paid off. But i know we could do even better.

I think that is my goal for right now. Updates are in the next post.
