Inspired by a reminder of the importance of making small, incremental changes I am going to do something which I haven’t done for awhile and that is set some goals for the week.
Goal #1: I am going to record 100% of everything I eat and drink on Monday.
I have always had a hard time doing this but how hard can it be to do it for one day? If I set my mind to it there is no way I can’t achieve this goal, it should be easy. In fact, I can make it even easier on myself by limiting the amount of food I eat. Say, there’s an idea!
Goal #2: I am going to complete week 3 of the One Hundred Pushups Challenge.
If you are familiar with the challenge you know that at the end of the second week you do a fitness test to see where you start week 3 at. I did 25 pushups on my week 2 fitness test, which means for week 3 I start in the second column and my first day rotation looks like this: 20, 15, 15, 13, > 20. You would be correct in assuming that I could have eked out one more pushup, which would have put me in the hardest column but I weaseled out and stopped at 25. I don’t know that I could have done 27 though, so I don’t feel too bad about this.
Goal #3: I am going to lose 2 pounds.
I don’t usually like to set short term weight loss goals, but I am going to try it. How fun if my effort can pay off in hitting this goal? I chose 2 pounds because I really want to lose a pound a week and I stayed flat this week. I’ve got ground to make up!
