Weekly goal recap and new weekly goals
The week went pretty well, I am still tracking food on myfitness pal and having some decent success. I saw a slight loss on the scale this week would have been more had I got some more workouts in.
1-Log everything in to myfitness pal this week. I have had good and bad thoughts from this app over the years but I am going to give it a try again. I found a couple friends on there who I know will be supportive and deleted the negative from there. Logged food every day I didn't log food last Saturday or Sunday I watched what I ate but didn't need the extra stress of hang on while I log this during a day shopping with my cousin and then attending her bachelorette party.
2-Continue staying away from soda I have made it 15 days. Last week tested that with stress I really wanted a soda. Still soda FREE YAY!!!!! Stress levels were all time high with my office job this week but I still refrained. In fact it doesn't even sound good any more. I have my water all day, coffee in the mornings and then spark in the afternoon if I need a pick me up.
3-Get in a couple lunch time walks this week. Got in one on Tuesday before summer made an evil return and temps were 100 with heat index of 105 by noon each day. Saturday I did take the kids swimming and we were at the pool for 5.5 hours and I was in the water with the kids all but maybe 2 hours of that.
4-Bring my lunch daily which goes well with goal 3 if I walk at noon there's no time to grab fast food. So bring lunch and walk and its a win win. Success on that! Only had fast food once for lunch and made sure it was healthy.
5-Take time with each of the kids each night weather cooperating may do a few short bike rides. Time with kids yes, bike ride nope been way to darn hot they don't even want to go out. After a long day at school and hot school bus ride they are wore out when we get home.
6-Start stretching more regularly not liking that my flexibility is not what it was a few years ago. Improvements here for sure. I have taken time to stretch while at work trying to release tension from stress. Sat in the floor one evening while folding clothes and stretched my legs. I need to search some stretches and yoga poses I can do easily of a morning or evening.
Goals for this week:
1- Eat healthy 85% of the time for all meals and snacks. Finding that I am craving crap less and less which is good but now need to find some variety of foods to eat so I don't burn out on the few things I like.
2- Spend time with the kids find things to do with each of them every night.
3-Continue to stretch and research some new stretches and some yoga poses.
4-Track all foods and exercise in myfitness pal.
5-Try and find ways to manage stress better and not end up broke out in hives each day at work.

I don't drink much soda anymore. I used to drink at least two Mountain Dews a day. It wasn't a conscience decision, I just started to drink water more. Now Mt. Dew tastes sweet to me.
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to log on MyFitnessPal when you're at something like a party where you have a few bites of a lot of different things! I just do the best I can to guesstimate what I had.
ReplyDeleteI love seltzer - would you consider that as a soda alternative? I seriously go through a two liter bottle of it every two days or so when I'm home :)
