New week, new goals and my plate

Seriously, myplate on livestrong dot com is driving me batty.  It should not be this hard to create a damn recipe.  Ugh...so frustrating.  Moving on...

Last week I set out to workout 3 times.  It didn't happen.  I didn't work out once.  I felt like crap last wee and I am really just staring to feel better today.  No worries though.  Sometimes a girl just has an off week.  But I'm back.  I'm going to get my 3 workouts in or 180 minutes some way some how this week. 

My only goals for the week are to eat on plan, eat lots of protein and get my workouts in.  Since I wasn't feeling well last week I used that as an excuse to eat ice cream  And eat it I did.  Three days in a row...twice on one of those days.  Yup.  It was totally good.  Was it worth it.  Nope...but it was good.

Luckily today's weigh in did not reflect the ice cream fiasco.  Thank goodness.  My weight stayed the same as last week. 

But that's just it.  I don't want a weight that stays the same.  I want a weight that goes down.  Though I weigh in every week, I'm not married to the scale.  I use the fit of my clothes and the spring in my step to determine my success.  Yes, I have a number that I ultimately want to see on that scale...but I'm not going to let it determine how I proceed on this journey.

Well that's all for me.

I want to wish all of my ladies (Angela, Sandy, Stephanie) who are having surgery this week a speedy recovery...and I pray that God is in the room during your surgery.

Sometimes you just gotta start up again the next day!

I had an affair with 4 cupcakes this weekend. It wasn't good, but you are right....it's a new week!

I think perhaps many of us are going through a holiday let down of sorts. We're all getting back on track though!! *hugs* we can do it lady.

I'm glad you're feeling better. And you've just hit on one of the issues I have with tracking my food...it's easier with prepackaged stuff but homemade is so much better for you!

You know what you need to do this week, you don't need me telling you - so I'll just say: I LOVE YOU. :)

Looks like you have a great week planed. Hopefully, you will see a nice loss on the scale next week.

Glad you are feeling better! Now, get busy! :)

Ugh, I hate recipe creation on Livestrong too! I've taken to putting a recipe together on the Spark People site and then just manually entering the calories on Livestrong. It's a pain, but less so.

I hated the recipe creator on LS too. I have recently switched to My Fitness Pal, there's is much easier to use!

Glad you're feeling better.
