I’m guilty of the classic workout sin: “I worked out…I can eat a cupcake and a donut.”
Cupcakes and donuts are good. Or maybe sugar is addicting. It takes a strong reminder to skip the treat after a workout. I love infographics so this one hits to the point.

Last Week’s Goals
- Start a new book. I picked one up at the library but did not start it yet. I’m taking it on our trip to relax in the evening.
- Pack to party. I’m still packing my uniform…just in case. But I did pack some fun clothes I’m excited to wear. I loved dressing up for work as a teacher and miss it some days. Oh and there’s some workout clothes thrown in too. It’s a party, right?
- Workout Schedule. Ooops. I thought about it…but I didn’t write it out. Good news is I kept my workouts for the week with the exception of being extremely ill on Saturday.
- Dinner Dancing. Done. I looked like a fool but it was fun.
- Party with friends. So much fun…just so much. Eight hours with great friends and just laughing hysterically. So much fun it deserves its own post.
This Week’s Goals
- Use fitness equipment. I packed workout clothes, running shoes and my iPod. Now it’s time to use the gym at the hotel. I will work out 3 times this week at the hotel. I will!
- Minimize snacks. At least I’m going to minimize unhealthy snacks. They are always available at work conferences. Instead I’ll maximize healthy snacks in my purse. Sneak them in like a movie theatre.
- Say hello. I tend to hide at these conferences because I don’t know many people and am extremely overwhelmed. I’m not going to let my anxiety get the better of me. I won’t get to know more people if I don’t say hi and these kind of conferences rarely happen.
- I feel pretty. I wear a uniform or workout clothes all the time. I’ve updated my wardrobe with nicer pieces recently so this is a perfect excuse to wear them. It with be so nice to wear pretty clothes all day instead of for a few hours after work and before my workout.
- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. At these conferences I’m out of my element so I forget to drink water. I’ve packed my water bottles and set the reminder on my phone for every hour. I will not get dehydrated headaches.
Yep I have a lot of I WILL statements for goals this week. I want to enjoy myself despite anxiety. I’m pep talking myself. It WILL help.
