Following UP

I said that I would check in again to let you know how I did on my goals this week, so here I am! I felt like overall I did pretty well, like always I started stronger than I ended, but it wasn't a terrible end. I did much better about snacking and portion control, although there is still PLENTY of room for improvement!!

For exercise, I did a video Monday (50 min of cardio and strength combined), ran 4.4 miles Tuesday, and on Wednesday I did 40 min of video and ran 1.5 miles at 7mph on the treadmill. Nothing Thursday. Nothing Friday. Saturday I ran 5.5 miles (I cut this shorter than I'd intended because I thought that I was going to make Joe late for work, turns out I got home 25 mins earlier than I needed to so I could've gone at least another 2 miles, oh well)

I weighed myself after the run yesterday and I was at 161. That's down 2lbs from last week. Great. But, I think that I'd be more excited about that if I didn't keep yo-yo-ing around between 160 and 164. I really need to break the 160 mark! So, that's my goal this week. Another 2lb week. A little ambitious, but I can do it if I really try, I'm sure.

Here's my action plan:
- at least 40 mins of cardio every day
- strength (weights or pilates) at least 3 times
- healthy snacking (which means no baking this week, that has seriously been my downfal for the last several weeks)
- no eating past 7:30 PM

Here goes another week, hope that it's good for all of us gets us closer to our goals rather than further away, I guess that's all we can really ask!
