*Weight: I am currently at 73kg/160.9pounds. I'd like to lose 3kg/6.6 pounds by November 26 (I think Thanksgiving is 25th? I'm in New Zealand so we don't have it here). I think it's do-able!
*Calories: Keep calories in check! I've noticed that the past two weeks I've been a little more successful if I have a slightly higher day once a week but a couple of lower days as well. I'd like to see if this actually works so will be testing out a little bit of calorie cycling I guess!
*Exercise: I want to continue to improve on my jogging/running efforts (have only recently started). I am currently able to jog at 7km/hr on the treadmill for 35 minutes continuously. I am also able to do close to 3km out on the street, though I think only about 2km of that is jogging. I would like to also make sure I'm getting in what I say I want to - which is at least 20 minutes, at least 4 days per week. 5 would be better.
*General: I want to start appreciating and rewarding my efforts a little more! I think I'm doing so good so far, and I want to stop beating myself up over little "failures" because I am doing a great job and deserve to tell myself this more often!
I would love to give myself some sort of awesome reward if I make my weight goal for this challenge because at that point, I will have lost 15kg/33pounds, which is half of what I want to lose in total.
I think I did fairly well this challenge.
For my weight - I was 1.1 pound off my goal, which means that I'm at 70.5kg, which is only half a kg off my halfway point. I think that is definitely really good and I'm looking forward to making a new goal for Christmas.
For my calorie goal, I did have lower calories than I would've liked the past 2 weeks, but I'm working on getting them up again.
My exercise goal I reached in some ways and not in some other ways - I definitely improved my jogging, I can now nearly jog the full 3km outside. I however didn't get in 4 days every week - this week I've had other stuff going on so have only done 3 days so far - but there is still the weekend!
I'm going through a hard time at the moment, hope you ladies all had/are having good Thanksgivings! We did our own little version in NZ with some of our friends, it was kind of fun.
I'll be seeing you all for the next challenge.
