One Goal Completed!

I have Inner Peace!! Just kidding.  I ran a mile without stopping on Tuesday and today Thursday. 

So that's the big news for today.  Here is a run down on my other progress.

Inner Peace-I can see a slight shift. Just being aware that this is something that I am striving for helps.  Just being aware of the pitfalls that prevent this helps.  Just being aware of how powerful this one is, is very helpful.
Weight- ARGHHH!!! The last time I  weighed, I weighed 140.6, this is far from 139.2 and I might even be further today but I didn't want to weigh today.  I am going out to eat with my Honey Bear in a little bit, so I will try to be good.  I didn't do horrible yesterday BUT there were some missteps.

Mile-Goal Met!!!!!!  Now I am working on consistency.  I want to get to 15 minutes without stopping, so 12 will seem like an easy day.  I even have dreams of running a half marathon.  That dream is slowly being ignited within.

Python Programming-I am up to chapter 6 in the book, and I didn't work on it yesterday.  So I will work on it today.

Eat vegetables every day.  So far so good, even when just a little.  Yesterday, I ate few carrots at Cracker Barrel.

Christmas Vacation Goals

When I left work for Christmas vacation, everyone was saying goodbye, like it would be a long time before we saw each other again.  I jokingly said, "Really, guys we're only going to be gone for a week and a half."
But a lot can happen in week and a half.  And I thought, what if I did come back a different person (in a good way). 
Here are my goals.
1. Inner Peace
2. Get down to 139.2
3. Run a mile without stopping
4. Learn Python programming language
5. Eat vegetables every day.

Today:
1. How does one define inner peace.  It is different things for different people.  For me, it is a relationship with God and doing something with my life to make someone else's life easier.  It's also being thankful to God for the things that I have and not focus on the things I don't have.
I am going to start this one (the helping others part) close to home (like in my home).

Today, I made sure I told my mother how thankful I was for her Christmas gift and the birthday gift she got me a year or two ago.  I made sure that I told my husband how much I appreciated him taking me to the museum and lunch today.  I washed clothes and I try to step into his world to learn more about his job. Tomorrow I am going to let my sister choose the movie, though I am not crazy about it.  And I washed clothes today.

2.  I didn't weigh today because I ate so much on Christmas.  I did pretty good with eating.  I had oatmeal and a Steak Salad for dinner.  Hopefully the Steak Salad didnt have more than 1200 calories.

3. I ran 8 minutes 15 seconds without stopping.  I hope to get at least to nine tomorrow.

4. Haven't done anything with this today. I'll try to do a little tonight.
5. I had lettuce with and tomatoes with my steak salad.
