week2 #WWW

this week's questions:

1. What have you done this past week to help you achieve your goals?
2. Are any of your goals repeat offenders (i.e., have you made them before and not succeeded)? If so, what do you intend on doing this time to ensure you achieve them?
3. Do you have a support system in place to help you achieve your goals?
4. Are you a planner when it comes to meeting your goals, or do you tend to “wing it” and hope for the best?
5. Fun Question of the Week: Who knows about your blog? Are you on blogger lockdown or do the “real” people in your life know about your blog/read your blog?

question 1: eat more fruits and veggies? i ate all my roomies bananas and added raisins to my morning oatmeal. it's not exactly two servings, but it's a decent start. i bought more bananas for more snacks; i also bought green beans on sale for dinners. cook more? oh, hell yea. i was only shooting for one, but i pulled four together this week. grocery trip on friday; cooking all of saturday afternoon. not too shabby for a girl who hates to cook. i also have to thank leslie for assisting in the recipe choosing process.i did not realize how many recipes i'd actually gathered together over the years. mostly because i pull them and promptly forget about them. i started with a one inch stack of recipes, which i separated (breakfast, appetizers, etc) to make it easier on myself. the cooking itself was less than fun, but i survived. the three dishes i made smelled awesome. i tasted very little as i'm trying to curb my scavenging ways. recipe four will be made wed night as lunch for the rest of the week :) working out? i did 20min on wed, and my new wii games arrived that afternoon. i didn't pick them up from my parents until fri, but i was stoked to try them out. of course, i didn't actually get around to doing that because of the cooking and wild card football.... shed final pounds? down 0.6 as of wed :D this is great (especially after a weekend at J's and in a week i'm usually up), but i need to step it up if i'm gonna stay on schedule for lifetime

question 2: of the above? eating more fruits/veggies, working out more and drinking more water are always on my list. this is my attempt to make those things part of my good habits so they can finally get off the list :p

question 3: my support system continues to be my close friends, family, bloggers and tweeters. i adore my cheerleaders, even when i don't always believe their compliments

question 4: lol have we met? i plan and overthink everything! it's one of my issues with accomplishing goals. i spend more time worrying about the how and when that i never really get to the doing. i need a game plan for almost everything. i winged it for the crazy cooking, which i regretted almost immediately. cooking three meals with different times and oven settings was not fun. i killed my leeks and may have overcooked the quinoa. for all the other goals, "just do it" needs to be my new mantra

question 5: my college friends know, and i linked it on facebook one time. i'm definitely not hiding, but i'm also not waving it under people's noses. the tiny narcissist in me refuses to keep blogging a secret... except for that one blog

{i had to go with two photos this time. that's my fridge full of goodness. soup and chicken on top; salmon with potatoes on the bottom. the other photo is the clean kitchen. if neal had cooked all day, the kitchen would be a disaster zone for a week. i cleaned and put away every single item i used on sat :p}

my progress plus all the weekly questions on skinny (goals 1-4) and desultory (goals 5-10)
