Do you wanna fight?

Today is my Monday update on how my goals are going since my last... What? Oh... Wait a minute? It's Tuesday?  Crap!

Best laid plans... Right?!  

So, Tuesday.  My goals for the week (I start my weeks on Fridays, as that is when I weigh in) included:
  1. Moving for 30 minutes daily (atleast) for the entire week.  I have to say it is day 5 of this week, and so far, I have been moving.  I started my Wii Active 2 3 week program on Friday, and have completed 4 workouts so far and on off days, I got a 3 mile walk done!  Check.
  2. Tracking food daily.  With the WW iPhone app and the website at my fingertips, I have not had any trouble keeping track of my food intake daily.  I did however eat 20 of my 49 weekly "goodie" points and I so did not want to do that.  However, I have gained 18 activity points for the week, so I almost make up for it.  Either way, I am feeling good, and have not been ravenous since starting WW.
  3. Try Wii Just Dance 2 atleast 1 time this week.  Sunday AM, I woke up to tend to my loud and obnoxious cute and cuddly kitties and decided to get in an hour of booty shakin before J woke up since I would be absolutely mortified if he saw what I looked like shakin it like my life depended on it.  Needless to say, it was Fuuuu-uuun!  A bit difficult at times, as you are supposed to follow along and mirror the little Wii character's moves.  I tend to move the opposite sides than what I am supposed to... have to work on that - but I will definitely be pulling this one out more!  Talk about FUN cardio!
  4. No fast food.  So far so good.  And no, I do not count Hibachi as fast food.  I am talking my usual suspects - McD's, BK, Taco Bell, Arby's, Steak and Shake, and the like.  If it has a drive through, it is out!  This goal was for the duration of this week, to see how I fared.  Well, I am in day 5 of the week and already thinking this will be on next weeks list as well.
  5. Bed by 11:30pm and up by 7:30am.  The time change has not helped with either of these, but somehow, I am doing it.  Hell, I am even impressed if I get to bed by midnight - but I think 11:30pm is that much better.  Had a little tweep motivation this morning to get me going - much appreciated! Again, definitely beneficial to stick to this schedule.  
All in all, for day 5 of the first week, I am pretty happy with myself with regards to following my goals and not veering off the path to health!

With all of these good changes going on, I have started feeling alittle off kilter - like I am coming down with something.  My neck is starting to feel sore (which could be from exercising) - and the one side of my throat is alittle swollen with very little white spots showing up.  I mean for goodness sakes - why is it every time I start a great routine, get in a groove and start making progress - I get sick?  The only thing I can come up with is that I am flushing out my bad lymph - thus making me sick.  However, by the time I get better - I let the groove go by the wayside, and it's back to zero.  

NOT THIS TIME!  

I am taking an active stance against this crazy sickness and have begun doubling up my vitamins, and getting alot of sleep.  I also worked through it this AM, and have felt alright all day.  I won't take it laying down - I will not let this ruin my progress!

How is your week going?
