jumbled january

so as you've already noticed, i've 'fallen off the wagon'. but damnit, i've got a lot i'm dealing with here. and i don't want to be lumped into the population of people who toss their resolve about new year's resolutions out the window. because it's not really true...

if you'll remember, i had 5 resolutions:
  1. run one race a month. still gonna happen.

  2. lose 50 pounds. still doable even if the starting is slow. and really if i only lose 40 will i cry? heck no! :)

  3. do one creative thing everyday, outside of work. i've kickstarted some projects and feel really good about this one.

  4. save more money. so far, so good. we had to make some adjustments because of some snafus with patty's unemployment. and with the fed job off the horizon we've also had to change our state of mind and plan. but i think we now have a plan. and a plan b. :)

  5. pray everyday. i'm doing pretty good on this. not everyday like i'd like, but i'm taking more time out when i'm stressed or relieved to write things out and talk to god.
so even thoough the whole food log/exercise everyday like a champ got put to the side for awhile, i'm confident they'll pick up again. it's an ebb and flow people. ebb and flow.

besides, january ain't over yet :)

That's great that you're keeping a food log -- I started doing that, too, but I completely fell of the wagon in week 3. Sigh. I'm also trying to eat better. What happens is that I'm really good for 5 days, then the 6th day, I cave in and have a piece of pizza. But I am gradually eating better.

I think you're doing great. Don't be too hard on yourself!

Which food log do you use? I switched recently to Daily Plate but find their calorie counts all over the place.

Sometimes it's two steps forward, one step back. Good for you for keeping your eyes on the prize!

Sounds like you're really making progress on your goals. Slow and steady wins the race so I think you're doing awesome. Keep doing what you're doing!
