The Weekly Chase #4

Good morning!  It's time for the Weekly Chase!  

Here's a recap of the goals I was chasing last week:

#1 - Catch up on things at home.  I am really behind on paperwork type things (filing, balancing my checkbook, etc.)  When I get home from work, I just don't feel like working more, but the procrastinating just makes it worse, because it keeps piling up.  I did start on this goal, but am no where near caught up.  Today I'm off for President's Day, so I'm hoping to get completely caught up.

#2 - Log my food and stay in my target calories all 7 days this week.  I did much better with this last week, but I have yet to complete 7 days in a row.  This did not happen.  I wrote a whole post about it, but didn't publish it.  Suffice it to say, (if you haven't already noticed from reading my blog), I've got some issues with food and my body.  

#3 - Continue my morning workouts.  I am so much happier when I get up and get my workout in.  My plan for this week is the same as last week (M,W,F - walk or bike; T,TH - run).  I did workout on Monday and Tuesday last week, but Wednesday-Friday, I did not.  I'm fighting a cold, and besides just not feeling well, I decided to rest in hopes that I would feel better by Saturday for my 15K.

#4 - Enjoy my first 15K next Saturday.  I'm running my first 15K on Saturday - the Hot Chocolate.  Hubby and I are doing this together, and I just want to have fun.  I did enjoy the race despite still not feeling great, and the extreme cold.  It was a fun distance.  Look for a full race report later this week.

So even though I didn't do a great job last week with my goals, this is a new week.  Here's what I'm working toward this week:

#1 - Spend President's Day getting completely caught up on my stuff at home.

#2 - Make healthy, consistent food choices this week (i.e. stop the cycle of extreme calorie restriction/binging/repeat).

#3 - Stop/reduce the negative self-talk.  I'm constantly criticizing my appearance.  I need to stop this and start appreciating my body for all the things it can do, rather than attacking it for not looking like a perfect ideal body I have stuck in my head.

#4 - Get back to 20 miles/week.  If I am going to have a 1000 mile year, I need to get back to being more consistent with my weekly mileage.

There it is!  Hopefully it will be a better week!

What are your goals this week?  Hope it's a great one!
