April Goals!

This month, things are a little bit different.  I have decided that instead of having a whole bunch of goals, that I want to focus on just being healthy.  Since Matt has decided to try to get healthy with me, I'm hoping things will be a little easier!  So here are the goals!

1. Track food on myfitnesspal.com EVERY day, except cheat day(s).  Weekends are the ONLY cheat days.

2. Try to limit cheat days to one day if possible. (We go to see family a lot on Sundays, so sometimes I have a little trouble with that).

3. Exercise at least 3 days a week, for at least 20.  Whether it's walking with Matt or dancing around the house, anything will do. 

4. Try to cook at home at least 4 times a week, even when I work.  I need to get used to doing this anyway, since I'll be back working full time in about a month (HOPEFULLY!)

That's it for this month.  I have high hopes that I will be able to actually meet these goals!

March Goals - Recap

Well time to see how my March goals turned out!

FOR MY HEALTH

1. Keep up my food diary on myfitnesspal.com Um, I did this about 1/2 way.  We took a little trip and I didn't track it that week.  And then I fell off the wagon one other day.  But it's some progress.

2. Do some kind of exercise at least 3 times a day (I'm going to try to just dance around the house like a crazy person, because I enjoy it and I don't care if I look stupid!) Again, not a complete success.  Matt and I did a lot of walking in Pigeon Forge, and we went to the Knoxville Zoo, which was tons of walking.  We did some walks during the week as well.  Other than walking to and from class, this was not a success.

3. Keep my doctors appointment (I've rescheduled a LOT because of school/work) and talk to my doctor about upping my levothyroxin dose. YAY!  Did this, and they did up my dosage.  They did some blood work and I also have to take some extra vitamin D in addition to my multivitamin.

FOR MY MARRIAGE

1. Take a little mini-vacation to Gatlinburg with part of our tax return (which was, HUGE...who knew going back to school made that much difference?!)  Done!  We had a BLAST!

2. Try to have one meal a week without the TV on (we are horrible about this; never eat at the table, and always have the TV on...I'm ok with eating in the living room, but we need some quality time too!)  We did this a couple of times, mostly by going out to eat, so it still needs a little work.

FOR GOD

1. Gotta get on the church thing!!

2. Select a friend or family member to say a special prayer for every day for a week.

Pretty much a fail for both of these.  I did say some special prayers because of some circumstances in our families.  God is good and he took care of everyone!

FOR ME

1. Celebrate Joan's birthday! It's tomorrow! Happy Birthday Joan!  Didn't really celebrate, but Joan never really decided on anything to do!  Silly girl!

2. Use my free Gigi's cupcakes on a cheat day in March :)  Did this, it was yummy!

FOR SCHOOL

1. Get started on all tests and quizzes, and finish them EARLY!  Did this on all the ones due in March.  April is crunch time though!

2. Go to the bookstore on the 22nd and pay for my cap and gown!!!  Um, oops.  Not 100% sure I actually want to walk still.

FOR THE HOME

1. I'm gonna be honest, there's a lot going on in March and there is a good chance this is going to get neglected, but here goes anyway: Keep end tables neat. Yeah this didn't happen lol.

Well I feel decent about this month, but I really want to do better!  So, my hopes are high for April!
