Every other day I set challenges for myself.  I set the challenges before I started my journey for this month.  So far I haven't been able to meet any of them. 

My first one was to schedule my whole day...Didn't notice that was my challenge until later that evening.  The second one was to wake up at 8 AM.  I noticed it the night before and then didn't get to be until late and cut the alarm.  My next one is for tonight.  I am supposed to go to the Alon-on meeting in my area, but I don't think that I am going to go.  My husband is off tonight and he doesn't want to come with me so I would rather just stay home with him. 

What is wrong with me?  Why can't I stick to what I set in front of me?  I have been able to stick to the weight loss, but I can't seem stick to anything else.  Maybe there is too much on my plate...or maybe I just need some serious work.  My next goal is to read for two hours.  I will read!!

On the bright side, I think that I will be down 3 lbs at the end of the week.  This morning when I weighed myself I was at 148 point something.  I need to be at 149.8 lbs on 3/12 to be down 2 lbs and stay on goal for the month.  So as long as I stay on this path I will be doing better than predicted. 

Topic Exercise:

I don't know if it is because I don't know how to stick to a schedule or what, but I can't seem to exercise when I have it written down on my calender.  I always seem to be doubling up on days.  I am on a plan right now that requires me to workout 5 days a week with two off days.  I was supposed to start Friday but I didn't.  The next day I did Friday's exercise along with Saturday's.  Yesterday, didn't get a chance to.  Today I still need to.

The workout says that I can change around the order as long as I don't put the strength exercises back to back.  So...This is what I am thinking: If I do the strength exercises today, cardio tomorrow, and then strength exercises the next day, that would make get all the exercises in with no strength back to back.  However, because I doubled up on Saturday I will have only worked out four out of seven days.  I don't think that will matter though, I hope. 

Next week I need to get on the ball.  No doubling up and no straying from the schedule unless I absolutely have to.
