week11 #WWW

this week's questions:

1. What have you done this past week to help you achieve your goals?
2. There are two weeks left in this challenge – what goals are you making priority?
3. Many people are on or heading into Spring Break right now, do you find it easier or harder to stay on track when your routine disappears?
4. Tell us something positive about this challenge. Could be something that happened to you, you did, you realized…etc.
5. Fun Question of the Week: The clocks sprung forward this weekend, does the time change mess you up or do you just go on like nothing happened?

question 1: how is it my weight loss goals have become the easy ones? even though i'm not losing the way i want (and various new tricks aren't helping), i'm sticking with it. eat your fruits and veggies. done. cook yourself lunch and dinner. done. workout. done (with help). i've even got the pantry looking halfway decent these days. there's actually room for everything cause we've been eating from the stockpile :)

question 2: i'm consistent on two of my three goals, and i'm trying to stick to the workout schedule better. top priority has always been dropping the weight, and it's still the main goal (3.4 to go) since it refuses to shake loose for more than a week

question 3: aaaaaaaaargh no routine makes me freak out. i love having the downtime and freedom, but i always get so lost without the structure of my normal stuff. i am looking forward to the upcoming break (one more week!) since i signed up for a few classes. might as well try some new things for free :) granted, my issue with classes is the gym membership, not the classes. i enjoy group exercise, but there are few places around here that will let you take classes sans membership. that's just not in the budget

question 4: i've started filling up my recipe box with some really awesome recipes. some stuff is quick, some more elaborate. i have recipes great for dinner guests or just me. and, because i make multiple recipes at once, i'm learning to reduce the amount of time i spend in the kitchen by taking my time during prep... well, i guess i should say i'm learning to prep instead of cooking things as i prep them

question 5: another aaaaaaargh! my whole internal clock is all fucked up. woke up yesterday feeling like shit because i was too hot. then i was up all night because i just wasn't tired. so getting up today was difficult. i fell back asleep for an hour and ended up being late for work. NOT cool. it's going to take me a week or so, but i should eventually adjust

via we heart it

{i have some great looking spring and summer recipes to try in the coming months :) maybe they'll make it in the recipe box}

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