January
1/1 - Recovered from NYE party
/ Decided to focus on my
diet for the next 5 days. I won't get anywhere if I don't start with what I'm feeding my body.
1/2 - Back onto
eating clean! Also, went
swimming for 40 minutes tonight. Weighed myself and lost 1/2 a pound from my starting weight. I'm now 184.5 While it's a small victory, I'm still so glad I
did not gain over the holidays!
1/3 - Stuck to
healthy eating. There were still some holiday treats in the coffee room this morning at work, but I ate all my snacks instead. Didn't get a lot of sleep last night, so I will get some rest. Planning to do a weight lifting routine tomorrow.
1/4 - Did well on
healthy eating. I've been really tired from the holidays, so I think I'm still going to rest.
Still sticking to my first goal of eating clean.
1/5 -
So proud of myself. Did my first round of
weight lifting tonight. It lasted about 40 minutes - a little shaky at first, but I got into the swing of things - and overall, it felt good. Glad I got over my weight-lifting hump, as I've been dreading this last piece of the weight loss puzzle. Again, proud of myself.
1/6 - Did well on
healthy eating! Ok, I had a peanut butter cookie, but I'm ok with it because I also did
40 minutes of swimming and a
40 minute total trainer work out today. Also, prepped my meals for the week, so I'm all set on healthy food for work.
1/7 -
Swam my 20 laps (35-40 mins). I'm trying to figure out my proper caloric intake with my exercise routine. Today I added in some more calories and ended up at 2045. I added cals in at lunch, and had enough energy for my swim at 8pm. Still have to modify a bit though. Really feel good from the swim.
1/8 - Rest day/cheat day. Tried so hard to work out tonight, but I am exhausted. I've barely slept this week, as i'm adjusting from the holidays, and I'm not used to being this active. So, fine - I'll listen to my body. I also had a half-slice of cheesecake.
1/9 -Another rest day. Ok, I get it, I'm tired. I need to reassess my workout schedule. Swimming two days in a row, and at the beginning of the week wears me out, especially since I'm not getting a lot of sleep anyway. And the lack of sleep is causing me to want to eat more. Rest, relax, calm down
