Goal Progress 5/24

1. Eat out less then 25 meals:  It was a close call because we hadn't taken anything out for dinner; instead of ordering we decided to make breakfast for dinner since nothing had to be defrosted.  Now I still have one more meal to use.  24 meals total.

2. At least 25 days with a 750+ calorie burn:
     Breakfast: oatmeal raisin bar & a glass of Trop 50 = 270 calories

     Lunch: greek yogurt, fuji apple & smartfood = 331 calories

     Dinner: breakfast wrap w/eggs, bacon, tomato & laughing cow = 545 calories

     Snacks: shortbread cookies = 100 calories

     Totals: 1913? burned - 1246 eaten = 667 total burned, 14 days total

3. Complete 1500 fitness minutes:  I am so upset!  My fitbit is broken!  I had a very active day at work because I moved into my new office.  Around noon I checked to see my steps and it only registered the program version, after 3 tries it stopped displaying altogether.  I tried not to panic and just put it back on hoping everything would be fine when I synced it at home.  No such luck, the display hasn't turned on since :-(  I contacted the company but there auto-reply email says to wait 2 business days.  I'm wearing it today in hopes it's still somehow working...  I really don't know what I'm going to do, so much of my calorie burning is calculated with it...  993 minutes total.

 4. Drink 64oz of water every day:  Almost didn't make it, all that time spent running around work kept me from drinking.  I knocked out 2 bottles between 8-10pm, lol.  22 days total.

5. At least 25 days with 30 minutes of house work:  Joe beat me home and did some cleaning so my normal jobs were taken care of.  I still managed to empty the dishwasher, put shoes away & picked things up here and there.  I'm not sure it totals 30 minutes but I'm satisfied.  16 days total.

1. Eat out less then 25 meals:  My mom took Friday off from work and asked if I wanted to meet her for lunch.  I usually don't get lunch dates with anyone but Joe so I jumped at the chance.  We met the same little diner I go to with Joe.  17 meals total.

Outfits of the Week 5/16-20

Another work week down and I've got a busy weekend ahead.  There should be lots of picture heavy posts next week what with the heart walk & wedding this weekend.  I took Monday off from work so hopefully I'll be able to blog some so I don't get too far behind, keep your fingers crossed for me :-)

Monday ~ we had a funeral for a good friend's dad.  Dress - Victoria's Secret & shoes - Naturalizer.

Tuesday ~ I wanted to brighten things up after all the black on Monday plus I had an appointment after work that I wanted to look nice, but not too nice for.  I always get lots of compliments when I wear this top :-)  Sweater & (too big) Pants - The Limited and shoes - Naturalizer.

Wednesday ~ I just got these shoes & really wanted to wear them so put everything together around them, lol.  Unfortunately they rubbed my feet pretty badly, anyone know how to soften up (fake) patent leather?  Cardigan - Banana Republic Outlet, necklace - Van Heusen Outlet, cami - NY & Company, pants - The Gap, shoes - Steve Madden via Macy's

Thursday ~ I'm really loving this one, I threw it together pretty quickly in the morning and it just works.  Cardigan - Old Navy, necklace - Premier, cami - NY & Company, pants - The Gap, shoes - Jessica Simpson via Macy's.

Friday ~ With the warmer weather I really wanted to wear cropped pants but now I'm thinking I should have worn higher shoes or a more fitted top with them...oh well.  Cardigan - Old Navy, cami - NY & Company, pants - The Limited via ebay, shoes - White Mountain via Piperlime.

Goal Progress 5/19

1. Eat out less then 25 meals:  Joe asked if I would mind going out to Charlie's for dinner.  Who am I to ruin the man's evening?  16 meals total.

2. At least 25 days with a 750+ calorie burn:
     Breakfast: oatmeal w/banana, milk & brown sugar = 310 calories

     Lunch: greek yogurt, pineapple & smartfood = 314 calories

     Dinner: 3 buffalo tenders & 1/2 a chef salad = 629 calories

     Snacks: jelly beans = 70 calories

     Totals: 2213 burned - 1323 eaten = 890 total burned, 13 days total

3. Complete 1500 fitness minutes:  Joe & I were planning on going for a run or something after work.  Then I talked to Nicole and she said she would be interested in starting C25K!  I'm always game to gain a running buddy so I enthusiastically offered to do it with her.  The 4 of us (Jack came too) spent about 50 minutes walking/jogging about 3 miles.  I can't believe I'm going to say this but I MISSED running, I'm going to need to work it back into the routine.  Hopefully with Nicole, Christina & Brittany jumping on the C25K bandwagon I'll have plenty of people to exercise with!  I really enjoyed myself & was pretty pleased with how easy the workout seemed, when I started back in September those spurts of jogging were absolute torture.  693 minutes total.

 4. Drink 64oz of water every day:  Yet another day where I almost didn't make it.  I had to drink a 1/2 bottle right before bed.  19 days total.

5. At least 25 days with 30 minutes of house work:  Again, not sure I did a full 30 minutes, it's getting harder and harder to find enough to do.  I did bring a bunch of shoes upstairs and put random junk away while I waited for Joe to come home from work though.  13 days total.
