CRAZYMOMMY's CalorieKing blog
Monday, Apr 7 2008 - Goals and Accountability
View CRAZYMOMMY's food & exercise for this day
I came to Calorie King to keep track of my goals and to have accountability. This site has been so wonderful for that.
The forum group that I have found to be a part of has been such a wondeful support to me. It is a place where I can post my daily goals and I know that there is a group of ladies who are faithfully there, who are also posting their goals. These ladies faithfully read my posts and give me encouragement. Knowing that my goals are being read helps me to want to keep them. Having the food diary to post my eating plan really helps me to stay on track.
Not that I have been perfect, I have been far from it. I have been very far from it as of late. I think that this site gives me every opportunity to make good on my goals though. I just have to do my part also. I need to be strong and do my work. Plan.... Plan and execute.....
Avoid triggers......
Keep triggers out of my house as much as possible right now.
When I am not sick, get back into my exersize routine and stick to it no matter what. My body needs exersize. Its vital to my well being. Prioritize Erika. Calorie King has been such an amazing find.
Once I am not sick I know I can get back on track, and with the help of this site's features, and the wonderful friend's I have found here I know I can stick to my goals.
My new goals:
By JUNE 7:
I will have lost 10 pounds.
I will have completed my C25K running program.
I will stick to my eating plan with only one cheat meal per week.
I will stick to alcohol only 2 nights per week.
I will weight lift 3 days per week.
I will do my C25K program three times per week.
I will do some other form of cardio twice more per week (kickbox, HIIT,etc..)
I will do yoga atleast twice per week.
I will not make excuses, no matter what. I will find time for me. I will fit in my exersize no matter what my day holds. My health and wellness is that important. I am that important.
Ok, good pep talk Erika. Let do it now. Starting right now with the diet. No more trigger foods. No more comfort foods. You can do this. Get back with your program.
I started at 192, I got down to 170 then stuck, then I got to 160 and stuck, now I am at 155 and stuck.... I will go down again. I will get to 145 by summer. I can do this. I just have to put in the work.
I am pysched about the NEW RULES FOR WEIGHTLIFTING FOR WOMEN book that I have. There are 6 months worth of weight lifting plans in there. I am going to do the whole thing. I can't wait to see how strong and great I look at the end of 6 months time.
I am going to take the book to the gym to show Josh, my trainer. I am not going to renew my trainer this time around. I think its time I make myself train. I push myself. I make myself go to the gym without a meeting time with someone. I need to do this on my own now I think. I want him to get me started with it. See what he thinks... I think the workouts look awsome and really make sense. Working major musle groups all together with heavy weiights, rather than isolating one specific musle at a time.
Sounds right.
What does Josh think?
We shall see.

I had such a positive blog day...positive thoughts... great plans.....and then I had to deal with work.
I am pulling my hair out here
Why is this so hard. You wouldn't think they would make it so hard to come back to work. What is with this????? I have had to jump through so many freakin hoops. My doctor said I could go back to work as of March 23. Its April. I am still not back to work. They are giving me a major run around. My hospital is just so not employee friendly. Not all all. Not in any way. What the heck. What is going on???? All I want to do is go back to work as a nurse for a hospital who is always short staffed. What the heck??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Its enough to make me want to quit. I could get another job in 30 sec in this town. I think I just might.
The thing is once I get past the stupid red tape, I like the actual people I work with. I work nights and weekends. I dont' have to work with the managemeent normally. If I can just get through the crap, I would like to get back to my regular routine. Its comfortable.
I know I could make a little more somewhere else.... I am sure it would be fine. I should just quit and go else where as awful as they are actiing.... I don't know what I am going to do.
For now I guess I will jump through a few more hoops.........

I am glad you are starting NROL4W!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I am! I jumped ahead after Stage 3 to Stage 7. I like the fact that the workouts are all planned and laid out for me, and that there is so much variety...I get bored easily so I need a lot of variety! Good luck!
