Whew! I have a plan.

Well I am happy to say this last week has come and gone.  I successfully planned and carried out all but one of the new Emergency Dept orientations.  I worked 76 hours (thank goodness for getting to go hoem one night early!!!) and most importantly it is OVER!
It was a stressful week.  What was stressful was the last minute way I had to do so much of it.  I am a bit OCD on planning.  I was not in control of a lot of this...so it all had to come together at the last minute which is not how I like to work.  Something had to give this week.  Sadly it was me.  I have reflected about it this weekend and am putting me back on the list....after all I said this year is about me!  So starting tomorrow I am back to eating healthy.  I am back to exercising.  period!
Tonight I sat down to map out my plan.  I planned what I am going to journal this week.  I am not going to go out to eat this week.  I have been doing that too much and I need a week without it.  I am not sure how much my weight is up but I think its not good!  I can only go forward.
Today when I started planning what I am going to eat this week it was a bit eye opening.  I stopped journaling about in June.  My weight loss slowed significantly since then.  When I actually sat down today to figure out what I can eat for 27 points it made me realize i was eating more than my points!  Guess thats why I have been only very slowly losing weight!

Here is what I am going to eat this week:

Breakfast: (4)

Oatmeal Pack-3

Fruit-1

Lunch (9)

Lean cuisine-6

Spinach-0

Salad veggies-0

Dressing-2

Goat Cheese-1

Dinner (6)

Chicken-3

Veggies-0

Smart Balance light 1T- 1

BBQ sauce- 1

Soup-1

Snacks (8)

Light Cheese Stick-1

Greek Yogurt- 3

Honey-1

Fruit-1

Popsickle-1

Weight watcher Bar-1

Mapping this out makes me realize how I have been overeating. I guess thats why journaling is so important.  Makes you really count what you are eating.  

I am also exercising.  This week I am going to really hit it hard.  I need to have a big loss this week.  Here is my work schedule and my exercise plan:

Monday: meeting in morning, Run 4 miles

Tues: meetings 7:30am-4pm  Gym: Run 3 miles on treadmill, swim 1/2 mile

Wed: work 7am-7pm  Walk 4 miles

Thurs: Work 11am-11am off exercise

Friday: Work 11am-11pm  Run 3 miles before work

Sat: Off work!!  Bike 20 miles and run 2 miles

Sunday:  Off work!!  Run 4 miles

I am hoping by writing it here I will be accountable for my exercising.  I am also ok with changing what I end up doing as long as it is about the same amount.  This is what I want.  This is important to me.  I will keep you updated.  I am actually looking forward to getting back on track.

Back to it being my turn!
