Talking "This week I will....." and Accountability Thread!

So I'm having trouble still sticking to a decent eating plan and consistantly doing an exercise plan. And the frustration is setting in.
I need to do something so I can get myself back on track!

I am creating an accountability thread for myself and others to post on to keep accountable and to post challenges to stick to this week.

Let me begin:

This week I will....

....do at least 30 minutes of cardio everyday (until Sunday).
....not eat more than 1500-1700 calories everyday.
....get more than 6.5 hours of sleep every night.
....begin to seriously quit smoking.




NOW YOUR TURN!

I have been on a diet break for 2 weeks after completely running out of steam and losing no weight over the summer.

From today, I will write down everything I eat, weight everything I eat and consume no more than 1350 calories.

I will restart my 12 week lifting programme

I will learn to manage my hunger by eating sensible snacks and well balanced meals!

Happy Thursday!

This week I will:

~Exercise for 30 mins for at least 5 days. I've done 3 out of 5 so far.
~I'm not much of water drinker, so I will at least get 1 serving a day to work my way up to more.
~Not eat bad foods after 8pm. I know this is my bad time, so if I must munch, I will pick apple slices.
~Realize I can't do a complete change or I will cause myself to lose interest. Gradual steps need to be done in order to make it a change.
~Not beat myself up if I slip up.

Amazing challenges chickies!

So, yesterday was my technical start day of my challenges, but I plan on starting on Mondays every week.
My plan is to keep posting challenges each week on here and try to update daily so I can keep myself motivated and accountable.

Yesterday, I did well!

I only smoked two cigarettes; which is not bad....
I did cardio for 30 minutes and did about 30 minutes of strength training....
I ate maybe between 1650-1750 calories; which I am fine with since I didn't go overboard....
I got about 6.5-6.75 hours or sleep; which I am okay with since I didn't go under that amount.

So, not a bad start.

Awesome day today!

Today I:

Smoked only one cigarette!
Did 35 minutes of speed intervals on the Arc Trainer and about 15-20 minutes of upper body strength training!
Ate between 1250-1350 calories! (A little bit low, but I ate a lot Monday so it balances out.)


AWWWW YEAAAAH! Day 2 went very well! And I'm planning on an early bedtime tonight.

Soooo, how are the rest of you doing on your challenges?

Yesterday I didn't get to exercise, but I went today at lunch. 30 mins on the elliptical and so far for today I've had a 110 calorie grilled chicken piece. I snacked on apple slices last night. No water yet today, but will get at least 1 glass in. I'm at day 4 out of 5 for exercising. No beating myself up either. Total calories yesterday was around 1150-1200.

I need to remember that our minds don't process "I won't", "I can't" etc - any negative thought. I have to think I will eat healthier instead of I won't eat junk. Our minds seem to get it if it's worded this way. I forget where I read this.

Great job Persicae! Esp on the cigs. I smoke as well and I know I can't quit right now or everything will fall apart. lol

It's me again. I learned how many calories I need to eat per day to lose weight in a healthy way and not put my body in starvation mode (1867). So... now that I know that amount:

Grilled chicken for lunch - 100
7oz of Tuna, 2 cups or so of brocolli, salad, and 12 Wheat Thins - approx 934 calories (including sauce)

Only 1034 calories for the day, so far. I'm not hungry anymore and won't make the 800 balance, but will try to get close. And I got in my 1 glass of water.
