Weekly Goals

weekly chase, goals, setting goals
How did I do last week?
Goal #1 Register to take NASM CPT exam. Nope, well I tried and I guess I am missing some clearance code that I can't get until next week when the office opens

Goal #2 Cook at least 1 new meal this week. Yes, actually 2 new things the 1st was enchiladas (recipe below) and 2nd Zucchini noodle bake

Goal #3 Swim at least once. That fell apart, my plan was to swim this morning but I woke up with a headache and needed more sleep.

Goal #4 Drink 100+ ounces of water daily. Yes, did great! My days ranged from 108-120oz

Goals for this week...
Goal #1 Boot Camp goal for the week is to eat more leafy greens (at least 2 servings daily). I am on a salad kick right now so thins shouldn't be too hard.

Goal #2 Plan meals and snacks, this will be important as I return to work this week. I don't want to get in the quick food habit again.

Goal #3 Plan my workouts and stick with them: Speedwork and Hill run, boot camp and strength.
  • Mon: Strength
  • Tues: AM Boot Camp PM Run
  • Wed: AM Speed Run PM: Stregnth with trainer
  • Thurs: ?AM Bike PM: Run
  • Fri: AM: Bike PM: Strength
  • Sat: AM Run PM: Swim

Goal #4 Spend at least 30 min each day focusing on what my daughter wants to do.

Black Bean Pepper Enchiladas
2 peppers roasted and diced
1 onion roasted and diced
1 small zucchini roasted and diced
2 ears roasted corn (or 1/2 cup frozen corn)
2 cloves garlic minced

1 can tomato sauce
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce + 1 tbsp sauce
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

August Challenge Day 6 Highs and Lows of the past year:

Highs: Having the courage to make some huge scary decisions that I know in the long run will be the best thing. I am becoming a better mom as my daughter turns into such a strong (and stubborn) girl. My workouts are falling into place and I finally feel like my running is coming back.

Lows: The difficult career times that made me realize I wasn't happy and it was affecting all aspects of my life. My start of the year racing hasn't been wonderful and I have dealt with a tough calf injury that is finally resolving,

  4. Mmm, those enchiladas sound so good. I need to do a better job of planning meals and snacks, especially snacks... I tend to graze in the afternoons while my daughter naps and it could be much healthier!

    1. Snacks are my downfall! I try to workout during naptime or I graze the entire time!

  7. Oh making the decision to change jobs or careers is tough - I did that 3 years ago, and I'm already contemplating another one. Great training plan - what race are you trianing for?
