Why do I do this to myself? I KNOW what I need to do. I KNOW how to do it. I cannot figure out WHY I won’t. I’m thinking it is the habits I have already and sometimes I function on autopilot, or so it seems.
I did not make my menu for the week (yet), however, I am making a menu for the next day in the evenings. That seems to be ok. You know, after all, what if I don’t feel like eating green beans for dinner in 4 days? What then? Is it a failure?
It seems that the week long menu is the best thing, but how about a day or two ahead? Regardless of its right or wrongness, that is what I am doing this week.
That and chugging my water and taking my multivitamin.

Jenny has instructed all the BigSliceOff! participants to come up with a personal slogan to use during this challenge… I’ve decided on: Move my feet and Lose my seat! I’m looking forward to all the creative slogans that everyone out there comes up with. I feel so uncreative sometimes!

It is a sad, sad admission that I must make. After having a stellar first week, I totally screwed up the second week. Wow. Really, it sucked.
I have all the excuses and more. The kids were sick or busy. I was sick AND busy. My husband stayed up WAY too late and I did not sleep well because of it (his computer is temporarily in our bedroom while the office is remodeled) and he’s on a programming mission these days. The biggest mistake I made? That one is easy: I DID NOT PLAN MY MEALS FOR THE WEEK! Duh! It was like I totally forgot. I have the memory staying power of a goldfish. Or a hamster. Or a doorknob. At times. But, this is what I do. I start something with all the gung-ho mentatlity, but fizzle quickly and not merely give up, but I forget I was even doing it to begin with….Until months later.
Solution? I am adding yet another challenge to my already long list of things to remember:
- Jenny’s BigSliceOff. Go check it out. (Thanks Jenny!)
- Menu Plan for the week.
- Workout Schedule (and logs)…continuing.
- Accountability, people! That was another thing I failed to do…blog my days. You know, out of sight, WAY out of my mind.
So… this afternoon, I will be making my menu.

This week marked the beginning of my quest on Body for Life. I did wonderfully (surprising even myself) all week.
I took the liberty of switching my free (eating) day from Sunday to Saturday to accommodate a birthday party. It really worked beautifully.
As for workouts, I accomplished EVERY.SINGLE.ONE! I am very proud of that. I will admit that I did not push myself all the way (like the program says to do) simply because I wanted to be able to walk and move my arms during my day-to-day life.
