4/18/15 Evening Check-In- Day #41

It's 11:15pm and I have to get to bed so I'll have to make this quick.

First, I am happy to say that I completed my goal for the day and have taken 11,857 steps which surpasses my 10k goal.  I am also happy to report that I cleaned out my car (finally).  It took a couple hours but I am so happy it's done.  By 6pm I had only walked 2,500 steps so I decided to take the kids on the walk I did yesterday and they LOVED it.  If I can wake up early enough tomorrow I want to take them to Mt Tam for a real hike.

There is a lot to do tomorrow and not enough time:

-Go for a hike
-Go to local farmer's market (9am-1pm)
-Finish housework (priority because we're having company at 4pm)
-Laundry
-Catch up on emails
-Do at least two hours of work (getting seriously behind)
-Grocery store (dinner for tomorrow night & other items)
-Lemonade stand (promised my youngest we would do this weekend)

So, looking at all of the items for tomorrow it seems pretty clear that a hike is out.  It also seems pretty clear that making it to farmer's market might be out.  I need to do housework and laundry from 9am-12pm, go to grocery store, go home to make lemonade and drop off groceries, stop by my mom's to  pick up card table, lemonade stand from 2pm-4pm, and make it home by 4:30pm when my friend and her daughter are coming over.  I agreed to babysit the daughter for the night so my friend could go to a concert with her boyfriend.  Since she will be dropping off her daughter's car seat I should be able to run errands after 4:30pm.  I guess I'll just have to see how tomorrow goes.

Lastly, I was under my calorie intake by 100 calories but only because I burned over 400 calories walking.  I ate 1500 and burned 400 leaving a net of 1,100.  According to my Fitbit I would have to have eaten under 1,100 for the day (not including the exercise) so I am over by 400 calories.  I don't see how that would be possible though since that would practically be starving myself so I am going to stick with the recommendations from My Fitness Pal.  I should be happy I am under my daily calories , that I walked over 10k steps, and that I got a major item (cleaning car) crossed off my to-do list.  All in all, today was a good day.

Going to bed now...

P.S.  I completed my 30-day plank challenge today AND I am in the lead on the Weekend Warrior Fitbit challenge.  I made a couple friends on the Fitbit website and I challenged them to this weekend challenge.  I was losing until I went on that walk with my kids and now I am in the lead!
