Here comes the Weekend!

I can't wait because tomorrow is my last day of work before vacation!! It's an early and simple vacation, nothing like our cruise we have planned for the fall. Here's how it is looking so far...

Starting it off with a BIG birthday celebration for my roomie!

I'm surprise decorating her hotel room, and ordered her favorite red velvet cupcakes as a surprise for dessert. We've invited all our friends for a fun night out at the casino, can't wait!

Saturday, I have part 3 of my Kinesiotaping class!

Sunday is my little sister's graduation from High School!

Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday will be filled with cleaning the house, planting the garden, and packing...

Before we head to Cape Cod!

My Dad's wife owns a home there, and was amazing enough to let us borrow it for a long weekend. I'm even trying to sneak in a sprint triathlon on saturday in Hyannis. I'm excited to hit the beach, relax, eat lobster, and get some quality bike and run time in with Kevin.

I've been working hard on all the targets I made for myself. I've been eating well, getting workouts in, and even finished that Half Marathon I didn't think I would! I know I owe you a recap still, and I still feel so awful that I've been lacking on reading your blogs, and writing here more regularly. 

I promise to get back in full swing soon, please stay tuned!

What's your favorite thing to do at Cape Cod?

What are you doing for vacation this summer?

My Plan to get what I want

Last night, I decided that I need to make a plan to get back on track. 

A written out plan, that consists of goals, a plan for reaching those goals, and how I'm going to keep track if I'm staying on target. Being a Physical Therapist, I am constantly making plans like this for my patients, so I've decided to do it up for me.

GOALS

1. Get to my goal weight

2. Finish Pumpkinman 70.3 in under 8 hours

3. Wear a bikini on vacation

Victorias secret, so cute!

4. Have more energy and less stress

PLAN

1. Follow my training plan for workouts. NO EXCUSES

2. Clean eating, no sugar ~85% of the time. Limit alcohol to special occasions only.

3. Do my Hypnosis daily

4. Go to bed on time
5. Work less weekends

HOW TO TRACK PROGRESS

1. Weekly weigh ins

2. Bikini pics. Buy a 2 piece and take a picture in it weekly.

3. Food journaling/ meal scheduling

4. workout tracking on dailymile & my training schedule on fridge.

I want it.

I need to regain focus to get everything I've wanted for so long. 

This is the most solid plan I've had in a while to get there.

With a good workout under my belt from this morning, and a plan in place, I'm ready to hit it hard tomorrow!

I've been stressed and down in the dumps.

I've been skipping workouts, eating like junk and just overall having a tough time getting out of this funk.

But I do believe tomorrow is another day.

Tomorrow I have a morning workout planned.

A healthy lunch on the menu.

A quick dinner out for the roomies birthday.

Tonight I am going to bed super early. My lack of sleep lately is one of the major contributors to this feeling. I felt great on the no sugar kick (but fell off the wagon), I really need to get back at that too. The looming half marathon on Sunday with an extreme lack of training is making me a little nervous too. I'm sure I'll be really sore on Monday!

My miracle will be getting on track and surviving the half marathon.
