Week 2
February 18, 2014
Successes
·
After my
first official 10 days, I can proudly say that I’ve lost 8.8 pounds so far! My
work pants are feeling a little looser.
·
We rank
ourselves each day for the previous week with a star, a smiley face, or a sad
face. A star means I stayed within my calorie range to lose weight. A smiley
face means I stayed within my calorie range to maintain weight. A sad face
means I consumed enough calories to gain weight. I had ALL stars this past
week!
·
The quote I
added to the bottom for this week’s “Ponder this…” sure has a lot of meaning.
That being said, I have been completely honest in my food journal (and to
myself) in what I’ve eaten and stayed within my allotted calories for weight
loss. It seems to be working!
Difficulties
·
I’m still
getting use to the amount of time it takes for me to preplan what I eat. I sit
down each night and start to plan my next day.
·
If I feel
hungry, I have to stop myself from going to the cupboard and grabbing some
Cheez-its. I have to remind myself that they really aren’t worth the 180
calories! It makes me wonder how many calories I was actually consuming each
day before I started keeping track. I probably don’t even want to know!
Wednesday Workout
·
I work out
with a group of teachers after school on Wednesdays and Fridays. I want to
share this with those of you who work out on your own for something different
that you may not have done before.
·
Here’s one of
the workouts we did this week:
o 50-40-30-20-10 (one round of 50 each then run, next round of 40
each then run, etc.)
§ Goblet squats
§ Sumo dead lift high pull
§
Run a lap between each round
Ponder this...
Proud of you. Good job. Keep it up
