Sooooo…I’ve done really horrible on my “getting healthy” plan. It just seems like one thing after the next comes up and I just can’t get myself back on track. We’ve dealt so much with sickness the last 5 months that it’s really made it hard to stick with a plan.
Now that all of us are on the mend, it’s time to really focus. There’s a lot going on this week, so I plan to start fresh on Monday. Here are my Start Fresh Goals:
Healthy Eating Goals:
1. No Evening Snacks
2. Less Sweets
3. More Water
Exercise Goals:
1. Walk 3 times a week
2. Sit-ups 5 times a week
I’m setting next weeks goals relatively low. If I exceed them, then that’s great. I just don’t want to set myself up for failure and expect too much while I’m trying to get back in the groove of things.
I’ve got to start small again. It’s been an INCREDIBLE challenge to try to cook healthy AND exercise. I have joined Monica in walking with PWOC, so that should help keep me accountable to walking a few times a week. I think once I get into a groove – it’ll be a bit easier to stay committed.
I really miss running. I mean REALLY miss it. Back in the day, I’d run in the evenings with Riley. It was amazing cardio, a great stress reliever and it made me feel really great after accomplishing a few miles. I might be able to pick up an evening run again once I get back to the states and see if Guka and MeMe can keep an eye and ear on the boys while they sleep (the boys sleep that is.) Pretty please Guka and MeMe? With Splenda on top? =)
Alrighty, I know this post isn’t much, but it’s all I have the energy for right now. =) You ladies are doing REALLY REALLY GREAT! Keep up the amazing work!

I think your goals sound great. Good for you for finding a walking partner. Have no idea what PWOC is but it's a chance to go walking so it's gotta be good, no? You're so smart for setting goals that feel realistic. It feels so good when you meet them!
I totally understand about the challenges with cooking healthy. It's so hard to find the time. My new thought is to try soups. Once the chopping is out of the way - it's not so much maintenance, just simmering. Best part is you can freeze and thaw pretty easily.
You've got so much on your plate and you just keep gowing. You rock, Mindy! When are you going to get to Maryland???? Max and I want to say hello.
Girl, I don't know how you do it!!....You are doing so well and just to think that you have enough will-power not to let this stuff get you down is totally amazing. I admire you so much!!!
I know that life is really hard right now and you have a thousand things on your plate and lots of responsibilities, but what you said is SOOOO true....This will all be over and you will be home with Chris in the good ol' USA again soon!! I know how hard it is to do the "foreign country" thing, but I cannot imagine the added bonus of being alone with two kids. You seriously are an amazing lady....
Keep up the good work, and congratulate yourself every day for just waking up and taking care of the boys! Right now that is the most important and anything else that gets done is just gravy, so really, you just rock all the time!! =)
