Daily check-in thread for July 30, 2007

Goal: Get up monday through friday at 5:00.

Progress: Check. I'm in Colorado now and went out for a nice run at 6500 feet above sea level, which felt great -- the air was so crisp.

Tomorrow's the last day of my July challenge, and I think it was a great success. It was difficult to get comfortable getting out of bed at 5:00, but now it's easy and I love it. Shouldn't be any problem continuing this goal into next month. Now it's time to start thinking about the August challenge...

I am coming into July 30 with {26 for 29 in July}.

#1 Fitness: Row 300 strokes, push 3 minutes, alternate pushes 3 minutes, 6 leg lifts

#2 Get out: Take the bus to local mall and visit camera shop, book stores, and departments stores for a number of pent-up items I need to check out. Take camera too.

goal: doing some exercises for the back
no problems today :)

Goal 1 - to do morning routine
Goal 2 - 10 minutes decluttering
Goal 3 - 10 minutes housework

I forgot to do one thing on my morning routine yesterday, was really annoyed with myself when I checked through the list, but did everything today so that's 16 for 19
Didn't do this yesterday or so far today so that's 11 for 19
Didn't do this yesterday or so far today so that's 13 for 19

Just finished the 10 minutes housework so that's 14 for 19

My goal is to get to bed by 1 a.m. and up by 9 a.m. and to continue exercising daily. Today I wasn't able to get to bed until very late but I was up by 8 a.m., which is no doubt why I'm feeling so tired. But I did get out for a walk so the exercising goal is near perfect for July and that's something I don't think I would have accomplished without these challenges.

#1 is complete.

#2 is complete. I met my sister at the mall and we went to some of the same places. She also brought me a "black light" that I hope to use in tracking down some problems left by one of my cats.

I am {27 for 30 in July}.

I missed walking yesterday, but I did my stretches. However, today I did both.

Goal: Lose 1#/wk though calorie max of 1700/day.
Result: 1970 total calories (2650 food less 680 exercise).

Official weigh-in today: weight is 1.5 pounds down from the last weigh-in 10 days ago (I changed my weigh-in day.) I'm not sure that I lost weight this week so much as I caught the downside of the variation over the course of the week. Oh well, I'll take it. That's one of the reasons I changed my weigh-in day, because catching the high side of the weight was very discouraging. So, I'm finishing the month down 5.5 pounds since I started in late May--28% of my total goal of losing 20 pounds. It's slow going, but at least I'm not gaining.

Congratulations on your weight loss Balfour.

Goal: Bike to work (and back)
Log entry: Yeah! I did it. Had a wonderful ride, even though it was cold in the morning. I took it easy (better start slow than overdo it). Even the ride back home was nice, but exhausting. 7-for-19 (37%)

Watchlist: Get up early (5:15 am)
Log entry: Got up at 6:30, but I'm geeting there slowly. 33-for-58 (57%)
