Day Seven - Ahead of Schedule

Things could be going a little better, but overall, I'm very pleased. I am definitely 50, but am also on my way to not feeling as old as I did. I have accomplished all the goals for the week (in six days) and will be adding on today with some extra cardio. I ran, walked, biked or swam every day, except Saturday, which consisted of getting up at 5 and driving to an event and working the event, which offered plenty of physical demands (I also wasn't able to eat until close to 4 pm) for the day, so I didn't do anything else that day. My diet has been good, though I have been craving sandwiches most (I'm not one to really crave sweets often) and gave in and had two (with mustard instead of mayo). Work has been going much better, as well as my quiet times - though I could improve in structure with regard to quiet times. With regard to work, the big goal is to get the website for my company finished this week and to work to getting additional Meals of Hope events finalized (a couple that have lingered for a long time). FYI, the website was nearly finished when mom had the stroke, and I just let it go until now. It is important because I have some time sensitive new ideas for potential clients that could really help them. I also have dropped 9 lbs. (All in the first 5 days, as there was no change yesterday, and I won't make it to the gym until later this evening (I have a call from 5-6 p.m.). Here is the summary so far.

Weights: Goal, 25,000 lbs lifted, actual - 25,560
Cardio: Goal 25 miles equivalence - actual 25.5 miles
Personal Time: Every day, actual, all but Saturday
Professional: Goal, five structured hours M-F, actual, more than five.

Also, I am needing more sleep with all of this than I ever have in years gone by. Just another sign that I'm not 46 this time. It will be worth it though.
