Update on October Goals

Ha, ha, ha! I'm blogging again and you can't stop me 'cause I'm on a roll. Love it! I figured I'd do an update on how my goals for the month are going.
1. To bust into the 150's.
Well, this one was not working out so well for me. I had put on 4lbs. The good news - I've lost 2 of the 4. As of this morning I'm down to 162. The bad news - the girl scout cookies I ordered have arrived. It's never a good idea to have cookies in the house, but it's REALLY not a good idea when your husband is deployed. Good thing the Samoas are not nearly as good as I remember them being - they were so sweet it made my stomach upset; however the thin mints, yea, those are just as good if not better then I remembered. Yesterday I had 4 thin mints with my coffee and then later in the day I had 2 Samoas. Almost 400 calories in cookies - that's a meal! I'm starting today off right with my blueberry oatmeal with flax seed. Now to stay on track and away from the sweets.
I've logged my food 10 days in a row. I haven't been very good at completing it though - mostly because I don't want anyone to see how bad I've been eating, but isn't that the whole point?! This week I'll complete it - everything I eat will be there for all to see. Ugh! (I use my fitness pal - Gillenator is my name, cute right?!).
New Mini-Goal: To eat better every day until Chris comes home. No eating out and no junk. I'm in trouble if he's gone until January. I know I've had the thought to eat better until Chris comes home, but I'm not sure if I ever wrote it down (I went through some old blog posts and couldn't find it). Now it's written down.
2. Run 3 to 4 times a week.
I ran 4 times last week. I've gotten 3 runs in this week. There's been a ton of walking too. All of my runs have been 3 to 4 miles except for one 2.2 mile run (with the jogger and two crazy kids who did not want to be in the stroller, so it got cut short). I keep track of all my runs on daily mile (love that site!) - I'm so forgetful otherwise.
3. Lift 3 times a week.
This one, I'm not doing so well with. I love lifting weights, I just haven't been taking the time to do it like I should. I need to leave the house sooner so I've got time to do it. My wrist has been hurting for a little over a week now. Starts at my wrist bone and runs down my arm. I'm not sure if I tweaked it when doing push-ups or chest press, or if it's from the computer mouse, or from running with the jogging stroller and jarring it a few weeks back. Possibly a combination of all 3. I'm not sure. Anyway, I've been avoiding doing some things because of it. The workout routine I found (and posted a bit ago) I like. It's time consuming though. Full of excuses aren't I?! No wonder I'm having troubles meeting this goal.
