Goal Update, Week #2

So after a good start to the week, I end not having much going on in the way of my goals. Here's a rundown:

#1 - Yeah, never got there. Thanks to 5 days of primary action, I was dead to the world on Wednesday. Try again.

#2 - I actually did this - took my notebook with me everywhere. It made me a little more conscious this week, but with everything going on, still didn't eat as well as I should have.

#3 - Completed this one too. Keep hoping that I don't finish "Catching Fire" until closer to the 24th, but I don't think that's going to happen.

#4 - After being down 1 pound in week 1, I went back up .8lbs in week to. So net loss is -.2. Still down, darn it!

#5 - Yeah, only made it 3 times this week. If you don't count all the walking done on Monday/Tuesday. But I did make it through the entire cardio kickboxing class on Monday night!

Even though I'm not being completely successful, it's nice to have something to work towards and check in with. So, onward I go.

Good news though - had a doctor's appointment on Monday, and I was down 10 lbs. since my last appointment in early April. Not too shabby.

Goal update, week 1

Ok, so I wasn't 100% successful in my goals for week 1. A rundown:


#1 - Go to yoga class 2 times per week. - Not successful. My 30 day, $30 deal at Hilltop ran out, but I fully intend on heading over this week to purchase some classes and also head to a free community class on Wednesday.


#2 - Keep track of all snacks, meals & drinks by logging what I eat each day. - Successful! It's amazing how much this helps me realize what and how much I'm eating...

#3 - I will read 30 minutes each day. - Successful! I have been taking time at some point each day to read, whether it's in the car, at home before bed, or just any time I can.

#4 - Lose 10 lbs. in 10 weeks. - Week 1 brought a net loss of -1lb. So far, so good!

#5 - Exercise 4 days per week. - Unsuccessful. I only got around to 2 times last week. Doing better so far this week!

So, the goals are progressing. I didn't quite think I would make them all the first week, especially with how hectic things have been going...

Next update on Friday - hopefully!
