April In Review

A quick look at April's results and May goals:

I didn't have a lot of time when I put together goals for April, so they were short and simple.  Lose 15 lbs, 15 days of meaningful exercise, make some kind of improvement in sleep schedule and being on top of things at work.

Suprisingly, there was more success than there was FAIL.  I weighed in this morning and thanks to a last day drop of most of a pound I ended up down 15.2 pounds in April!  That is, assuming that I trust my scale, which I don't, at least not fully.  But I'm going with it -- except I'll round it off so I don't have to remember fractional pounds.  15 even it is.

On the exercise front I think I hit exactly 15 days, which is good, but it required a vacation which is not sustainable.  So it's a success but I have not made any progress in figuring out how to work exercise into my workday routine -- other than golf league starting up.

As for goal #3 I made no improvement in sleep schedule and on balance I would say that I'm less on top of things at work than more so this goal is a FAIL.

May goals:

1.  Again, lose 15 pounds.  I've been pretty consistent the last 3 months and I hope this continues for a few more.  I'm roughly 1/3 of the way to a longer term goal weight, so there is plenty to go.

2.  15 days of meaningful exercise.  Same story, if I can figure out weekdays the weekends take care of themselves.

3.  Broadening this goal to make some kind of improvement in work/life balance.

4.  Renewing the improve sleep schedule goal.

5.  Adding a catch up on yard maintenance goal.  My yard looks bad and it makes me unhappy.

6.  Insert amounts paid for food into posts.

More specific goals would be better but I am out of time.
