Health & Fitness Results and New Goals

Results for the week of Jan 31 – Feb 6:

  • Water Intake: still chugging along between 20-30 oz. I only drink water – no soda,  juice, or coffee – so I’m ok with my intake.  I drink when I’m thirsty.
  • Fitness: I completed Week 5 of C25K.  I was very excited about running 20 minutes without stopping.  Huge accomplishment for me!
  • Nutrition: I prepared every meal at home this week.  Some were good, but most were a bust.  We’re still taste testing new dishes and finding what we like.  However, I need to rein in on the mindless eating and late night snacking.  When a meal wasn’t satisfying, I found myself eating again – just because – and sometimes after 9pm.  Although my food/snacks are healthy, too much of anything is never good.  I also had 1 square of a dark chocolate candy bar on Tuesday and 2 scoops of fat free vanilla ice cream on Wednesday – moments of weakness.
  • Weigh-In: I lost 0.6 lb this week.  This is small compared to previous weeks and I didn’t meet my goal of 1 lb, but I’m happy with it.  I ate so much this week, I was expecting to gain.

New goals for the week of Feb 7 – Feb 13.

  • Fitness: Complete Week 6 of C25K.  This is the last week that includes intervals.  After running for 20 minutes straight, going back to 5- 8-10 minute intervals with walking breaks shouldn’t be so bad.  But the last day is a 25 minute run.  I can do this!
  • Nutrition: Eat breakfast daily and NO EATING AFTER 9PM!!  Drink water daily, take prescribed iron supplement, and prepare every meal at home.  This week, I’m laying off the trial and error of new recipes. I’m going to play it safe and stick with what I know.  Our weekly meal plan includes:
  • Weigh-In: My goal for this week is to lose another 1 lb.

As always, I will use SparkPeople to track my daily nutrition and exercise, read/write in my prayer journal, and ask God to order my steps. It’s a new week to start again and I’m committed to a permanent lifestyle change.

      I’ll join you in the 1 lb. weight loss goal. I want to break out of my 0.5llb a week rut.
