Last week I Accomplished:
1) A 3.4 lb weight loss
2) I just made my goal of getting in exercising 5x during the week. Seemed to be really good at coming up w/excuses not to exercise. The biggest killer was if I deviated from my daily schedule. Also if I don't get enough sleep the night before. I knew this but didn't understand the full impact. Oh well.
3) I recorded everything in my journal - the good, the not so good and the oh-oh.
4) I tracked my points.
5) I am learning from boo-boos. The weekend turned out to be much more challenging than I expected. I feel off-track on Sunday w/a concrete (thick thick thick) milkshake but I've figured out the reasons why. What I didn't expect was my hubby being a saboteur of sorts off and on during the week. So, now that I've spotted it, I'll have to figure out a way to deal with it. I'm working on it. And (see #2), I've figured out one big reason I don't exercise.
6) The cool part was that when I feel off plan, I didn't beat myself up this time. Instead, I wrote it down, tried to isolate the cause and a solution. I also teamed up with a weight loss buddy so we could be support each other.
7) I tried to follow the plan. Packed lunches and snacks (even tho' I work from home), made a menu, threw out dangerous food. But I still strayed on Tuesday and Sunday. So this went right back into my goals for this week.
This Week's Goals:
1) Stay on the plan.
2) Exercise 5x
3) Deal positively w/sabotage and challenges (2 upcoming social events).
4) Plan ahead with weekly menus for the rest of the month
