I went to my Saturday weigh-in and it was certainly not how I wanted to finish out the 10 weeks. I had a gain! Ugh! I only gained .2 lbs, but it was still disappointing. I wasn't as much on track this week, but still didn't expect a gain.
Here's how I did for the week:
Weigh in at WW: Weighed in; couldn't stay for meeting.
Track all food: Tracked every week day.3 45-min exercise sessions: 1 60-min. Wii Fit Plus workout.
Bed by 11pm on weeknights: Once.
Drink 3 glasses water per day: Did it about half the days.
Plan meals each week: Not well planned, and did end up eating In & Out burger and fries one night because of it.
Not a great week, but not a complete failure either. So how did I do on my goals?
1. To lose at least 15 pounds. ~ I only lost 5.2 lbs for the 10 weeks, but that is the first time that I have lost more than 5 lbs at one time in the last 4-5 years - seriously! It's a great start for me!
2. To be more fit/healthy with more energy. ~ When I keep up with my workout sessions and drinking my water, I definitely have more energy. Since I can feel a difference, it makes me more motivated to keep it up!
3. To be motivated to continue program beyond 10 weeks. ~ Definitely motivated, even though the weight loss is so slow. I plan to keep on going!!
Over all, I'm pleased with my progress during the 10 weeks. I'm much more consistent about working out and drinking water which will make it easier to increase amounts for both! And though I didn't have a big loss, my jeans are more comfortable and being able to feel a difference makes me want to continue.
I do have a plan for the next 4 weeks to keep myself focused and you're welcome to join in! I'll put up a separate post about that later.
Did you follow along for the 10 weeks (or part of it)? How did you do? Don't beat yourself up if you didn't hit all of your goals. Focus on the positive changes that you made and keep on going!
Thanks again to Recipe Girl for doing this to help us focus on starting out 2010 in a healthy way!
Have a healthy day!

Having reasonable goals are great. I still see a lot of people putting out really unrealistic ones. Rather than weigh in, I am going by dress size first before getting to the nitty gritty. Each 2 sizes down, I get to pick one thing I can pamper myself. Of course, my goal is to get back to a 10 or 12.
ReplyDeleteI wish you luck on your journey towards a healthier living.
By the way, I work as a virtual assistant of The Healthy Moms ( http://www.thehealthymoms.net ), the site is fairly new and I thought I would drop by some mom and health related sites to spread the word.
You still did a great job, even if you are not completely satisfied! The challenge kept you always thinking. I am excited to hear what your next 4-week goal is. Keep up the great work!!
