Weight Loss Goal: .8 lb
(I weighed on Tues and had put on .4 lb, but it was the heaviest, most bloated TOM day for me. I resisted re-weighing later in the week though, and will wait for Tues morning again. I may as well accept the fact that bloating and girly-issues affect my weight regularly, and there's no point acting like they don't exist.)
Nutrition: keep fat intake at recommended level at least 3 days.
I succeeded in this, if I count last Sunday as day 1 of the 3 days.
Fitness goal: 6 hard workouts this week, incl. two Insanity. 12 push ups on toes by next Sunday.
NEW VEGGIE/RECIPE (double up on it. I'll try two.)
I only got 5 good workouts in this week, and only one of them was Insanity. I am up to 10 and a half push ups last I checked. New veggie recipes were actually credited to my sister: dry roasted kale chips w/ sea salt and a spritz of olive oil, and grilled bell peppers & zucchini w/ fresh (sister-made) basil pesto. Scrumptious!
Haven't tried my baked cauliflower yet.
WEEK 3 GOALS:
Weight Loss: .8 lb
NSV: Water & Sleep. More of both. 6 cups of water or more. In bed before midnight.
Nutrition: I need a social gathering, and I need to exert self control. I have a fancy party next Saturday, and I will mentally prep myself during this week to show up there CONFIDENT that I won't go apesh*t over the champagne and hors d'oeuvres. I'll budget my calories ahead of time so I can indulge there without ruining my week, but I have to know where to draw the line when I'm there, and not blame the party for taking control out of my hands. I AM IN CONTROL.
Fitness: Take it outside. It's getting warm and Springy out. I want to bring my workouts outside and vary it up more. Hiking/rock climbing, biking, & tennis - which I suck at, but it's still a good workout.
Push ups - complete TWELVE or more in a row!!!
Motivation:
Getting in 5 out of 6 workouts is terrific ... and you're super-close to those 12 push ups!! Keep it up :)
ReplyDeleteHiking is something I am ITCHING to start doing!!!! Can't wait til summer! :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on week 3!

Good luck with week 3.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your gain. That's frustrating. I'm sure it will be gone when TOM packs his bags. Sounds like you are really doing great. I like your get outside goal. So much more fun outside!
ReplyDeleteAll the best for week 3! :)
ReplyDeleteEven if you didn't hit all your week 2 goals, it's obvious that you're making progress. =)
ReplyDeleteLove the week 3 goals and can't to find out how many pushups you can do by next week. Negative reps have helped me in a lot of my lifts. Give them a try.
I have been doing pushups for like... 3 months now... and I still can't do them on my toes yet. More power to you!
ReplyDeleteAlso, social event and exerting control... that is a great goal. I have such a hard time with stuff like that. It's this lady's arch enemy. I may have to borrow that goal when I've got a party coming up. :) Thanks for sharing. You're going to ROCK this week!
YUM - I love Kale chips!! I have kale in the fridge now, you just inpsired me to make some!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck in week #3!
LOVE your goals, especially fitness goals! When I'm outside, I don't feel it's exercise, just fun!
ReplyDeleteyummo I love Kale chips!!! Baked cauliflower is a staple in my house :)
ReplyDeleteI can't even do one push up one my toes. Well done.
ReplyDeleteSome days I can't either!
DeleteGood job on the push ups. I do girly ones, but only about 4 and then I collapse! Good luck for week 3!
ReplyDelete5 workouts is great and 10 push-ups? You rock. I can't even do 1!
