My overall goal for the challenge (which ends Aug 22) is to lose 15lbs. I actually do hope to lose more than that, but I know how ill my body reacts to summer and humidity so I don't want to kill myself trying to push for 20+lbs. I also want to have my 1.86m route down to 23 minutes or less. Right now I'm over 25 minutes.
My goals for the week are:
Nutritional: I will start tracking in Daily Plate again. I have totally slacked off here, and while I *have* lost a bit of weight, I feel I would have done better if I was tracking. I will drink 80+oz of water each day. With the hotter weather coming I really need to do it anyways, but I noticed I was losing easier when I had a lot of water in my diet. I will eat breakfast everyday *before* 10am. I stopped eating breakfast for a few weeks (a life long bad habit) and have noticed even after eating lunch I am starving by 3pm.
Physical: I will walk at least 6 miles this week. I've gotten lazy lately and have not even hit 4 miles in recent weeks. I will do 2 days of my walk/run program. I've started doing this in the park and find it much more enjoyable than the treadmill. I will do at least one days of weights. My main motivation for this is to keep my skin flexible as I lose weight so I don't get as much sagging.
I even wrote my goals out on a sticky so I can see them without having to remember to check my blog
I'm so used to weighing in on Mondays that even though I switched to Tuesdays months ago, I still have to leave myself a sticky note on Monday nights or I forget on Tuesday mornings.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea to put your goals right where you can see them.
Have a great week -- I know you can reach your goals!
