Sadly I failed every single goal I had set for myself yesterday. I got home at 4:00pm with every intention of completeing them all, then when petting my dog I noticed a flea, then another, then another.. when I JUST bathed them and put powder in the carpet just days before. I wanted them dead and out of my house. I spend the ENTIRE evening from 4pm-2:30am rebathing the dogs and cats, vacumming, and putting down more powder all over the carpet. I refuse to use flea powders and such on my animals or in my house, so I opted for the natural methods which I can see are working, but not fast enough. So that is where my ENTIRE evening went. Such is the life of a "mother".

I feel really bad I did not complete any of my goals for the day, but it needed to be done and could not wait or it would get worse. At least I got in some exercise moving furniture, vacuuming, and brushing in the powder into the carpet.

So today my plate is even bigger.

My goals for the evening are the same as yesterday:
• 80-120 sit ups for the 200 situps in 6 weeks[/url] Challenge
If I can get in 120, I can finish it today. If not I will do some today and some tomorrow before the deadline. I WILL complete this challenge!)

• 30 min bike ride for the Bike Your Way To Fitness Challenge
Completing the challenge for the week

• 20min Biggest Loser Kinect Workout for myself and the The Biggest Loser, Slim by June challenge
Not really part of the challenge, but a personal goal

[u]Additional goals for the day:
• Bed by midnight for Snooze to Lose Challenge
If I set a bed time of midnight, that will allow me time in the morning to workout before work and still get 8 hours of sleep. Plus the regular sleep schedule will help me sleep better, I hope. <crossing fingers>

• Drink 64oz Water for Bike Your Way To Fitness Challenge
I have been going 6-8 a day, but would like to get to 8 every day. I have a hard time consuming that much liquid in a day.

• Take "before" photo for The Biggest Loser, Slim by June challenge
This should be simple, just need to grab my camera and shoot. But knowing me I will be obsessed with lighting and making it a decent photo due to the photographer in me.

Fitting in all these are going to be rough since tonight I get home at 8:00pm and also have to make dinner. This week is not going so well for me in the way of workout and I am disappointed in myself. Hoping to get all done tonight and starting off the new week right on Tuesday (when most of my challenges reset) and it is my day off so I should have extra time (keyword: should).
