-do pilates ABs workout at least 4X
-DO NOT purchase any 'treat' foods ie. chocolate easter eggs/cookies/cashews
-work on steadily decreasing sugar intake
-step up the cardio - limited to walking/biking

Hoping for a good report card next week.

Hey guys!!

Okay... here is what my goals were for the week!

1. 15 minutes a day cardio MINIMUM!
2. Eating balanced meals... and that means VEGETABLES BABY!
3. Running up stairs instead of walking slowly
4. Walking everywhere.... even when its raining

oookay, lets see how I did!

1. I did at least 15 minutes a day cardio... actually, I doubled it and did 30 minutes cardio a day! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!
2. My vegetable intake was pathetic. I'm just so awful when it comes to vegies!
3. Yup... At least 90% of the time I ran up the stairs! Some days when i was extremely tired I would walk up the stairs like a snail!
4. And YES I walked everywhere... except from today, lol... where I bussed back home from town

Ah well, I think generally I did pretty well. Actually I lost 3lb's this week, I was like :O wow... talk about water weight lol. It must have been that sudden increase in exercise.

Congratulations to all of you and to your efforts this week.

My goals for this week:

1. Cardio 5 days/week x 60 minutes
2. Restart weight lifting in a formal way
3. Formal stretching routine 3-5 days/week
4. Increase water intake
5. Decrease coffee intake
6. Stop silly snacks that derail me

Last week I did 4 sessions of 60 min, 1 of 45 minutes.

So now I need to log off and get moving

Here's what I said I'd do:

Log my food daily
Drink water daily
Take vitamins daily
Exercise 2x per week
Plan my meals weekly

I logged my food every day and usually did it shortly after each meal or snack. My calories were in the range I want.
I drank about 16 ounces more each day than I have been. Still room for improvement.
Take vitamins daily - OK missed one day.
Exercise - Boo. Didn't even do it once. DH had a gout attack so he wouldn't walk and the weather was bad the days I was going to walk on my own (pouring down rain and excessive wind - but I should have found something I could do)
Planned my meals, but ate out several times that were unplanned. Made pretty good choices though.
The scale wasn't kind to me this week, but it popped down today. If I hadn't found my tape measure last week and measured, I think I would be really frustrated. However, I lost an inch in the waist and an inch in the hips this week! How did that happen????
