For some reason I have the Black-eyed Peas song stuck in my head this morning so I thought I'd use it for my blog title. It works well so what the hell! I am finally feeling like a human being today. I've felt very zombified all week. I don't know if it was the trip home or the illness, probably a combination of both in all likelihood, but I have just been exhausted all week. I've gotten a lot of sleep this weekend though so I'm hoping to have taken care of my sleepy ways.
This week I plan on really getting into the changes that I'm hoping to make in the new year. My sister and I are starting our first week of cooking together. We have our evening meals planned for rest of the month and will make February's menu when the time comes. I'm really excited to have my menu planned and to do it with another person. It makes life a lot easier when you don't have to come up with meal ideas on your own all of the time. It was also very nice going into the store yesterday with my shopping list in hand and knowing that I'll be getting everything that I need for the week to come. It so much easier to stick to the plan when it's all written out.
Because I tend to do really well when things are written out and very clear for me to follow, I have decided to take scheduling and incorporate it into my workouts. My thought is to schedule out my evenings so that I don't have an excuse to not work out. I also am trying to find some weight-training log sheets online so that I can more effectively follow what I'm doing for resistance. That way to there is extra accountability.
I'm excited that the Live Healthy Iowa thing has started. I really hope being part of team will give us all the motivation that we need over the next 100 days! Have a great week ladies and keep up the good work!!

I wish I could follow a schedule (menu wise or exercise related) but it's tough for me to stick with them.
I don't think LeAnn and I could cook together because of our different palates. I know we like too many different things to find common cooking recipes. Plus she also cooks for Jason and it may be hard to find common cooking ground.
I'm very excited about the 100 Day Challenge!
It's not the cooking that I have a hard time with, it's the portion size. I agree with Jenny, I don't think we could cook "together." There are too many foods we don't agree on.
I sometimes thrive with writing things down, but like dieting. If I forget to write something down, I tend to sort've give up. The recording and journaling on the Live Healthy America website will be helpful, I think.
I already have a work-out routine that I like so I don't really need to write anything down, except time. I hope you are able to get out the whack or fog from illness and sleepiness.
