Well today is Monday. I will be at the gym at least 2.5-3 hours this morning.I will do 3 rounds on the machines, add in some extra workout on the stomach and thigh areas, and 1 hour on the eliptical machine. I am out of school until January 9 and intend to take full advantage of it. I weighed this morning and have gained but not surprised. I will have some of the weight off by Sunday when I weigh in.

Again my goals are to eat healthy, exercise everyday for at least 1 hour, and blog every day to help myself stay accountable. Today for eating, I will have healthy meals at breakfast, lunch, and supper. In between meals I will either eat 1/2 Cup of fruit, a Fiber One bar, small amount if Ritz peanut butter mini sandwiches, or small amount of nuts. I will probably eat one of these in between breakfast and lunch, and then a different choice between lunch and supper, then have desert. I will also not eat after 8 p.m.

I plan to be active with my 7 yr old son, Daniel, every afternoon. He also needs to be active. Today that will not happen because of my eye appointment. He will be at Bay Base until about 4. If he has done all his homework then we can go bike riding or something like that, but he usually forgets he has homework until he gets home  :)

This week I will begin to study for my 2nd major state test that I have to pass in order to teach elementary school. I will also be winter cleaning this week (didn't have time to do it in the spring, lol). Since school is out I am able to sleep in and I am enjoying that. I usually get up at 3 every morning in order to get everything done. Now I can sleep in at least until 5 and if I want to take a nap, it is o.k. I will also be helping my 93 yr old aunt move into assisted living this week, I think. There have to be papers signed by her and another family member, so it depends on when they get that done.

Well that is all for now. Let today be the day that I achieve all my goals!
