I lost .8 lbs this week. That’s certainly not remarkable. But, at least I didnt gain. I’m not going to throw an epic tantrum this week. But, I still think I need to change things around because something’s not quite right if I am losing weight this slowly. I do admit i have been going to the gym more like 3-4 times a week rather than 5-6 due to a busy busy social and work schedule. That’s not really an excuse. But, my gym is only open till 10, and when I get off work at 5, it doesnt really leave me with many options, especially if I have a meeting or event at night. Nonetheless, I need to step up the exercise. So, next week, my goal is to go to the gym everyday except for Thursday because I have a dinner plan and do 45 min of cardio and 45 min of weights and abs, on every one of those days when I go to the gym. Well, on one or two days, I’m playing squash as well, so on those specific squash days, I might say 30 min cardio and 30 min weights and abs. Also, this week either on Friday (tom) or saturday I will be completeing week 6 of my c25k plan and starting on monday or tuesday depending on my schedule, I’ll start week 7.
Also, food wise, i think I’m going to try to take down the calorie ranges a bit to 1200-1300 per day next week starting after the weekend, because clearly, not losing weight shows that I just have too many calories coming in for the amount I have going out. So, I’m going to have to play with that as well.
Lastly, expect a post tonight that along with my day’s food recap, will discuss the challenge I am facing for the entire weekend, and how I plan to face it head on.
Happy Thursday everyone. No tantrum today, just severe planning for the weeks to come! I am still aiming to get to 180 by august 21. That’s 7.8 lbs in 3 weeks. Which is 2.6 lbs per week. Ha, it’d be a miracle if I actually made that, but if I step up my game, I just might.
