The Weekly Chase #21

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine was super busy but a lot of fun! Friday was Sawyer's kindergarten graduation. Saturday we went and watched my friend's daughter's dance recital. It was so cute!!! Sunday I ran 6 miles, went to church, went to my friend Stephanie's going away party, attended Hayden's Cub Scouts Crossover ceremony (he's officially a Bear now), and it was our 12th wedding anniversary! Whew! Here are a few pics from the weekend! You can see more on Instagram...make sure you're following me!

It's Monday so you know what time it is...Weekly Chase time! Time to declare those goals and get after them!

For the month of May Molly has a new challenge for us! It's called Bring a Friend Along. We want you to bring a friend into part of your goal making...whether it be for exercising, sanity, prayer partners, etc. We all know how important goal setting is...let's get our friends involved with us!

Here are the goals I had last week:

• Goal #1: Communicate with my accountability partner for my daily Bible devotions (challenge goal). Yes although I wish I had communicated a little more with her. I did tell her about a new devotion I started from She Reads Truth. It's a study from Nehemiah and I'm really enjoying it! 
• Goal #2: Stretch and roll every day. Yikes! I was super bad about doing this this week. I only stretched and rolled on the days I ran.
• Goal #3: Work on fundraising for the St. Jude's Memphis Half Marathon. Got a little more done on my fundraising page. And I started brainstorming ideas.
• Goal #4: Run at least 3 times this week. Yep! I ran on Monday night, Thursday night, and a long run on Sunday.
• Goal #5: Make Friday a special day for Sawyer as he graduates from Kindergarten. Yes! I think he had a great day! We went to lunch with friends. Later that afternoon he wanted to get fro-yo and walk around in Pet Smart. That night we had dinner at the place of his choice with the grandparents. He seemed to have had a fun day!

Here are my goals for this week:

Goal #1: Communicate with my accountability partner for my daily Bible devotions (challenge goal). I hope to communicate a little more with her this week. 

Goal #2: Stretch and roll every day. Must make this a routine before serious training starts!

Goal #3: Work on fundraising for the St. Jude's Memphis Half Marathon. I need to contact some people about my fundraising ideas. Here's my fundraising page if you would like to donate! ;-)

Goal #4: Run at least 3 times this week. 

Goal #5: Make better food choices and decrease my portion sizes. I will admit that I don't eat as well as I should. I am a southern girl at heart and I love my fried homecooked food...and pizza. But after pulling out my shorts this past week for the summer...I need to shed a few pounds. My shorts are fitting a little tighter than I would like them to. So my plan is to make better food choices as well as not eating so much. I know this will take some determination but I am ready to do it. 

So there's my plan for the week! It's also the last week of school this week! Summer is here and I can't wait to spend it with my boys! Oh yeah...and we are going to Disney World this summer too! Yay!!! :-)

QOTD: What goals are you chasing this week? Any helpful diet tips for me?
