February Goal Check

Another month has passed already and I must do this for myself, not that anyone else has to care. : )

* Go to the gym five times a week (I know, I know, I know!!!): check! Even if we missed a day during the week, we would make it up on the weekend. Hoo-rah!

* Eat smaller portions: check! Still going strong. Now, if only we could remember this on our drunken escapades (which are becoming all too often these days).

* Cut the crap food and only eat sweets (and by that I mean a nibble) on an irregular basis: semi-check. This one has been hard. We've been (or I've been) craving sweets, most likely because we're cutting too many of them out. But, at least, if I binge eat on the sugar, I feel a little gross and don't want to fill my body up with that crap. So, now I just need to remember how it feels before I have a major sweet tooth.

* Stop chewing my lips (well, this is only my goal. I've chewed on the inside of my lips for as long as I can remember and I always end up making them bleed. I don't know if it has to do with stress or what, but it's now become an addiction and needs to stop): horrible this month. Simply pitiful.

* Use less chapstick (for which I also have an addiction): check! This one is going well. Maybe that's why I'm chewing my lips more . . .

* Become more financially savvy: still working on it.

Overall, not too shabby. March has already begun and in this month will be Spring Break, a major test of our motivation to keep exercising and eating healthy. You know how being on vacation usually equates to snacking (a lot) and more beers and lounging around . . . Willpower, Pattersons, willpower!
