Meet My Goals Challenge-week 2

Well, it's week 2 for me, but I started the challenge a week late, so it's actually week 3.  I met my goals for the Meet My Goals Challenge, just barely.   My goals last week were add another cardio exercise 3x a week. run 16 miles, and drink green drink every day. 

My goals for this week are
1. another exercise 3x a week other than running
2. take my vitamins everyday (I've gotten very bad at that)
3. decrease my alcohol intake.  I have gotten pretty bad at drinking 1-2 glasses of wine (or Malibu and diet Pepsi) much more than three or four times a week, so I'd like to decrease it again to no more than 1 glass 3x a week. 

Yesterday I went to a friend's wedding.  It was very short and made me wish I could get married again.  When I got married I was ultra-conservative and we didn't have much of a reception.  No dancing, and no alcohol.  I would do it completely different now, with lots of dancing. 

I haven't seen my friend since before I got pregnant.  I was a little sad to see her.  She has gained a lot of weight in the 2 or so years since we've seen each other.  Since I have been running I want everyone I care about me to be healthy as well.  It saddens me to see my friends and family gain weight. 

Chris especially frustrates me because he is completely oblivious to the dangers of his weight gain.  He sees himself in the same way as he was 10 years ago.  He gets upset when he changes a small thing, like taking a sandwich for lunch everyday instead of fast food, and he doesn't see any changes. 

Anyway, tomorrow is a new work week and I'm not too thrilled about having to work a full 5 days.  Short weeks are nice, but often more work than a regular week.
