  • craftykath's Goals for May

    Starting Weight: 240! (Yay, I've lost three pounds this last week of April!)


    Goals:
    • Yoga every day
    • <1501 calories a day
    • Walking around Burke Lake (4.5 mi) 3 days a week
    • 30 min. stationary bike, 3 days a week
    • Only one Diet Coke a day! (starting Week 2)

    Week 1
    Friday, May 1: AM Yoga, 20 min; 1005 cal
    May 2: AM Yoga, 20 min.; ~1200 cal
    May 3: 20 min yoga; 30 min bike; ~ 900 cal
    May 4: yoga; bike; ~1400 cal

    Weight: 239
    Minutes of exercise (not including yoga): 120

    Thoughts: Only one pound...better than nothing. It rained a solid seven days. No exaggeration, I swear. So I didn't make it around the lake. But it's supposed to be sunny on Sunday, so I'll definitely make that goal next week. I also need to find a consistent amount of calories to eat each day.
