Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.

Actually that's not usually true. Generally I find myself somewhat energized on a Monday it feels like a beginning a time to start getting some things right.

I am tightening things up on the diet front. Cutting way back on carbs and trying to keep to a certain caloric goal. I am also trying to get back on my exercise routine. You know Newton's First Law AKA the Law of Inertia where it states that "an object at rest tends to stay at rest and that an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force." Currently I am an object at rest. I have been trying to heave myself back into motion but so far it has been futile. Good news is I have remained pretty active on the weekends with walking, horse riding and hiking. Still I have goals I really want to finish the Cto5K this time! Also I want to sign up for a 5 K by the end of summer.

I had a good hike on Sunday, combine that with the ride on Saturday my legs are stiff today. I am still going to push through the fourth week of the run. I may have to repeat but I need to push my boundaries. Oh and I am also wanting to do a Zumba class with some friends this Thursday. It sounds like a lot of fun and is cheap! All in all I have a lot of plans for this week and will do my best to stick with them.

My mini goal last week was to chew 30 times a bite. Lets call that a work in progress. My goal this week is to drink my Gallon of water every day. Things always seem to speed up when I stick with that. So here is to another week!
