May 9

• Water: Mhmm
• Exercise: Hiked for 7 miles!
• Stretching: Nope :(
• Food: Ate pretty well, except that dinner was very rich pasta :/ Ate out once today.
• Lifestyle: made a list, completed most of the things
• Reflection: Volunteered all morning helping out at a charity 5K, ran by the local farmers' market, went on a hike, and then settled in for the evening with the Mr. 
• Tracked?: Yes

Overall: -1 :(

May 10

• Water: I think so
• Exercise: Hiked 8 miles. A bit was pretty uphill.  
• Stretching: Stretched on top of Iron Mountain!
• Food: I did okay! Pizza for the week, but because of the hike I consider it breaking even. Dinner was out. 
• Lifestyle: Did not make a list :(
• Reflection: I'm pretty damn proud that I managed to hike four days in a row. Time to cut back on restaurant eating again.
• Tracked? Yep

Overall: -1 :/

May 11

• Water: So much water today. And also a ridiculous amount of coffee. 
• Exercise: Did a tiny little FitStar training. I'm counting it, but barely. 
• Stretching: Yoga! Y-O-G-A, yoga
• Food: Ate a bunch of snacks of the pastry and cookie variety :/ Day-long meeting is long... Plus went out to dinner and broke a bunch of rules. No food points for me! Ate out AGAIN, so I'm 3 for 3 days this week. Ugh. 
• Lifestyle: Made a list! Sorted item #1. 
• Reflection: Between my long meeting and a friend's (essentially) going away dinner, I decided to not even try to do food correctly. But I did avoid alcohol, so that's good. 
• Tracked? Yes.

Overall: -1

May 12

• Water: Mhmm
• Exercise: To the gym! Taking it slow, though. Elliptical and slow running
• Stretching: Yup
• Food: Employee appreciation breakfast means I broke all the food rules AGAIN. I'm tempted to call it a special occasion, but maybe it's just negative points. All the more reason to focus more on the fitness part of this. 
• Lifestyle: Made a list, accomplished some stuff.
• Reflection: I managed to stretch even with some distractions, so that's good. Eating way too much and not good-for-me stuff! :( :(
• Tracked? Yes

May 13

• Water: Squeaked by..
• Exercise: 6 AM Spin class! Oof. 
• Stretching: Integrated into spin. Did a little additional as well.
• Food: Turned down alcohol and got a delicious virgin margarita instead :) Ate a ton of cookies and nachos. So maybe food is just a complete loss this week. 
• Lifestyle: My #1 item was to get my oil changed, and I succeeded. Not thrilled with Jiffy Lube in town...
• Reflection: It's nice to get the stretching and exercise out of the way first thing in the morning. But then I find I eat more since I think I can justify it, and I get very little done the rest of the day.
• Tracked? Yes

May 14

• Water: Chugged a pint at 11:45 to complete this
• Exercise: Got my steps, so I guess that counts for exercise. 
• Stretching: Stretched a bit right before midnight;barely made it. 
• Food: Celebratory pastries for a huge work deadline. Totally not even docking myself points for this. We earned it. Ate a ton of carrots in atonement. And.. then I was given a brownie as thanks for volunteering at the theater tonight. Eh...
• Lifestyle: I really like the listing! Another success
• Reflection: It was lovely to see Les Mis for free; I really enjoy ushering - although I've now gotten upgraded to concessions, which is even better. Walked to and from for exercise. 
• Tracked? Mhmm

-1

May 15

• Water: Did pretty good
• Exercise: Did a small structured FitStar drill first thing in the morning. Also got my steps
• Stretching: eh.. 
• Food: Ugh. Well, firstly I had cookies. But also it's a party tonight and I will drink. I just know it. So... there's more negative points.
• Lifestyle: I think I did?
• Reflection: Well, big party in Portland ruined some stuff. But it was fun, so I consider it worth it!
• Tracked? Yes
