Goals of the Week: December 12

You guys, I have been betrayed by my stomach. From Sunday night to Monday afternoon, I had a pretty horrific stomach bug. Sure, some might argue that my stomach owes me a little grief after I've spent most of my life abusing it with too much fried foods and chocolate.  But it didn't need to attempt to get its revenge by causing me to spend 24 hours hovering in the vicinity of my toilet so that I could make a quick dash in case my stomach got angry and started spewing like a volcano.  Not appropriate.

While I am infinitely better today, I'm hesitant to set several, if any, goals this week. First, I've already missed two days of working out, and I'm not back to eating full meals yet, (although the way my stomach is rumbling - in a good way - right now, I might be rectifying that tonight) so I'm pretty weak.

First let's review my previous Goals of the Week:
Last week

  • Stick within my calorie budget each day This worked well for Monday through Wednesday...Thursday through Saturday this did not happen.
  • Add in two strength training workouts. Checkmark!


The week before that.

  • Exercise five times Checkmark!
  • Run three times Checkmark!
  • Drink 3 liters of water a day Checkmark!
This week:
Get back to drinking 3 liters of water a day
Work out three times, including at least one run and one strength session
Allow myself to recover

That's about all I've got the energy to think about right now.  Hopefully next week I can be a little more ambitious.

What are your goals this week? Or do you have any great stories from a time your stomach betrayed you? I know they're out there...

  2. The stomach bug is the worst. I refer to it as the bubonic plague. Glad you're better.

  3. I have a question, which perhaps you have already answered. How do you keep track of the water you're drinking? I can never, ever remember how much I've consumed.

  4. I drink water only from 1 liter water bottles, so it's pretty easy. You could also go with smaller bottles. I just refill them all day long.
