It's Wednesday, didn't you know???

It MUST be Wednesday, because Wednesday is when I check in!

Wait, it's not? Ohhh... well. Whoops! Let's pretend it is for a moment and get our weekly check-in on.

The goals:

1. Lose 15 pounds.
   Only -.5 pounds this week. I'm not thrilled with it, but it's still a negative so I'll take it. That leaves me four more weeks to lose seven more pounds.


2. Complete the 35-mile bike loop near my house.
   I'm officially putting this one on hold. My 5k is in two weeks and I've really been focusing on that, so I'll get back to this one as soon as the 5k is done.
3. Walk/Jog 2+ hours per week.
   Yes!
4. Complete the first two phases of CLX.
   Half-way there! The first phase is done.
5. Learn about and apply nutrition to my life more fully.
   Yes! This has been going well, I feel like I learned a lot this week.
6. Make a weekly meal plan and stick to it.
   Getting there. I did make a meal plan and go shopping, but I didn't do it till later in the week. Second half success? It's how you finish, right?
7. Log what I eat 5+ days per week.
   Um, I think I get a C on this. Could have been better.
8. Get to sleep by midnight 5+ days per week.
   No, but I'm getting there.


So there you have it. Overall I'm pleased with how the week went. There were a few weak spots here and there, but nothing major.


Fact about me: I call myself a crazy cat lady because, despite my age, I have crossed that bridge. I volunteer with a cat rescue group, and the way I started with them was by fostering kittens (Now I do other stuff, though). I was a kick-ass foster parent, for the record. But, the downside of loving it so much is that I would accept kittens even when I probably shouldn't have. I tried to not accept a new litter until my current litter had been rehomed, but sometimes there was overlappage. If I remember right, I think there was a time I had a total of 14 cats in my house. I also had my two dogs and a foster dog (who was so difficult because he was seriously the dumbest AND most hyper dog I've ever known--bad combination!). Zoo? Yes. If it wasn't for the foster dog, though, it wouldn't have been so bad. We had a pretty nice setup back then so you never saw more than a couple cats at a time. I miss it, but I think if I ever did it again I'd have to practice a little more restraint. Right now, though, I'm happy just having my pets and I'm happy to leave it that way for a little while.
