Last Sunday I established three goals for myself this week and I am pleased to say that I accomplished all three. I am particularly happy to have lost the two pounds that I set out for myself as my weight loss chart is now looking like it could be turning in the right direction this week.
Things I did well this week:
- Completed week three of the one hundred pushups challenge.
- Ran a total of 8.2 miles, which is the third most for me since I started this journey almost a year ago.
- Had very good eating days almost every day - I don’t recall binging once.
- Took the time to visit and comment on a lot of other weight loss blogs.
Things I did not so well this week:
- Only did strength training one day.
- While I did run 8.2 miles, that was only 2 sessions - need it to be more regular
- Not enough water.
- Did I really need all of those margaritas?
One of the strategies I employed this week that I really believe made a big difference is that I replaced a couple of dinners with a whey protein shake. This had two main benefits - first, that I did not have a high caloric dinner and second, that because the shake filled me up and reminded me that I was on a diet, I found myself able to get to bed without indulging in a late night snack. I’ve just started to experiment with these shakes but so far I like what I am seeing.
My schedule will be a little turned around this week with a travel day but I am going to work extra hard to schedule my workouts around that and to be diligent when it comes to eating away from home.
If I can put the same sort of effort in this coming week as I did the last week it should show on the scale again.
