I have been thinking about my goals for this week. We have things planned for today and next Saturday but during the week should be relatively “normal” (what ever that is these days, lol)

The past 4 weeks I haven’t been exercising consistently nor have I been on any kind of food plan, including journaling my food. I have decided to first focus on getting back on track with my exercise and “watch my food”. Then in the next few weeks I will get back to journaling my food intake or sooner if I am not losing.

Goals
1 – WATER @ least 80 oz
2 – Morning walk minimum 1.5 miles
3 – 3 days other aerobic activity (M,W,F)
4 – 2 days strength training (T, TH)
5 – No junk, fatty or sugary foods.

I know I have to walk more than that to make my 150 mi goal but right now I am focusing on just getting back on track and re-focusing my mind, emotions and body. June was a crazy month for me as most of you know so I need small steps again to get back on track.

This is a new month, new thread and new challenges.
LET'S GO GIRLS

Feeling a little down. DH got on me about letting the house go which is due to my prioritizing exercise. He basically let me know that the house should come first before exercising, even though he refused to say it out loud. If you saw my house, you'd bop him on his head. The only thing that needed to be done was to fold 3 loads of (clean) laundry and make the bed. And I work, and I do all of the housework, and I do all of the childcare. Plus he knows I am sick but by golly I folded all the clothes and made the bed and still haven't gone to the doctor.

OH Lara, you are funny. ROFLMAO
Don't be so hard on yourself! We are always our worst critics.

You have to take small steps when you are stressed or you will burn yourself out. Remember to count aerobics towards your miles. You could even buy a pedometer and use 2000 steps to represent a mile- I did that at Six Flags.

Okay Lara! Where do you live?? Do you want him kill or just maimed??? It is time that you take some time for YOU! If he thinks that the house needs to be better than HE do it! Don't let him get to you, men can be so cold hearted at times. Keep taking time out for you, if doesn't like it he can deal with it! If you don't get exercise time then he doesn't get sport watching time (or whatever).

Please please please please please don't give up on yourself just because hubby is on a power trip.

Get feeling better so you have full strength and then take him head on!!

Tobey, how did you get your picture on the forum??
I have pics in "My pictures" on my home page but I don't know how to get them to the thread. It won't paste

You have to upload the pics onto something like photobucket.com and then use the direct link that is given. You take that link and paste it on the insert image.

(((((Lara)))))
It sounds to me that he is a little jealous
You are doing something for YOU and NOT for him or about him.
He needs to take on his part of the house. You both are working so you both need to have a share in the housework, cooking and childcare.

Please do take care of yourself. If you are sick then let him fold the laundry for heavensake.
go see the Doc if you need. I hope things get better

Yes, Lara that is what I am afraid of, getting burned out. That is one reason why I am focusing on exercise for now. Obviously, I am not eating ALL THAT BAD or I would have gained the last 4 wks rather than maintain.
I will count the other aerobics toward my miles, THANKS.

I am thinking I have some underlying adversity to getting below 200. Everytime I have weighed myself in the last 4 week it is somewhere between 200.0 -200.4. The up side to all of this is at least when I reach my goal weight I know I will be able to maintain well
