WOW, what a long exhausting week it has been. I wasn't able to stay on track as good as I would have liked with working out and eating healthy this week. Monday and Wednesday the girls and I at work went out to lunch and Friday we ordered Subs and Thursday night I was at Mary Kay party at my sponsors house and snacked on unhealthy treats. It was also my intentions to get up and workout every morning before work this week, and to go walk around Lake Andrea everyday on my way home from work. I have really put a lot of thought into what it might take to help get my weight back down, and I thought back to a time when I felt thinner (back in college), and I'm positive that what helped me to keep weight off back then was the fact that I was walking EVERYWHERE. Plus I would work out 2-4 times a week. Getting back to that I figured if I workout in the morning before work for 40 min or so and then try to go walk after work at Lake Andrea which is a man made lake that I drive right past on my commute to and from work. It has a 2.3 mile walking path around the lake. I should shed some pounds in a couple months. Ideally my goal is to get down to 125 pounds. Which thinking realistically I should be able to drop 5 lbs a month and hopefully be down to my goal weight in 6-7 months. Needless to say getting on a new work schedule and waking up early have not mixed well for me this week and I failed to on my fitness plan, but next week is a new week.
Not only have I had personal fitness goals, but I also have been working on really getting my Mary Kay business off the ground and as part of our training we were asked to come up with a goal date of how many faces we are going to facial within a certain period of time. I've told myself I would like to do 30 faces in 30 days. Realisitically this would be about 2 facial parties a week with 5 people at each party for the next 3 weeks. So in 30 days I'll let you all know my progress.
Today, I am babysitting a friends kids. It's a pretty easy day to make a little extra cash, except for the fact that I'm extremely tired. I had forgotten that last weekend my friend Brian and I made plans for me to come see him this Friday night. So last night I drove down to the city to see him and we ended up going to dinner at a restaurant called the Gala Street Inn, it was honestly the most delicious food I've had. Everything was extremely good. They are known for their baby back ribs, that just fall off the bone. I honestly cannot say I've never had any other ribs that good around here. So if your ever on the West Side of Chicago you must try out this place.
Anyhow, I've fallen somewhat back on these fitness/health goals but I just have to keep reminding myself that you can pick yourself back up and continue to make better and healthier choices. Next week fitness mode starts again.
