New school year, new goals

We still have two more weeks, maybe a little less, before teachers have to be back at school. I have started thinking about my physical goals and how to achieve these goals. I didn't do so well on my summer goals, but I am OK with that. I didn't gain any weight, even on my cruise. I may not be as thin as I had hoped to be but people at school are noticing and at least I didn't gain any back!

This is going to be a year of change for me. The first and most obvious change is my dorm duties. Over the past two years DQ and I have split the dorm duties; this year it will be just me! That means I will have to do put to bed for two nights, not just once. So I have decided that I am going to try to work out M,W,F,Sa,Su. I think I have duty Monday and Wednesday nights, so I will take the morning after off. I don't think I will be able to get up and out. I guess if my internal clock has me up on Tu and Th mornings I will go to the gym.

As I look to the start of the school year my new goals will be to workout five days a week, continue to eat well, and find a balance between personal, professional and academic lives. I start a new class on September 3. YIKES!

I have only worked out twice this week, Monday and today. If I work out tomorrow and then the weekend I will be back on track. I have been eating OK. DQ and I went out to lunch on Monday and I ordered a salad. But while I was waiting for the salad I inhaled bread and butter. I need to learn to ask them NOT to bring it to the table. But I LOVE butter!!!!!!!!! Today I am skipping breakfast (NOT good, I know) because at 9:30 AM I am going to a cake tasting with a friend. She is getting married in two months and I am doing wedding stuff with her all day. So cake for breakfast! Yum Yum! Then she is taking me to a Mexican restaurant for lunch. I LOVE Mexican. Bring on the chips and dip. LOVE IT! Wish me luck!

Til tomorrow -
