Week 2 Update

  • Consume a limit of 1 soda per week. There really must be something about Sunday that makes me want a soda bad - again this was a testing day. But luckily our house was preferred soda-free, so I put myself on house arrest and survived. The rest of the week was not nearly as tempting.
  • Do Push-Up's 3xs a week. Done.
  • Walk 2xs a week. Done.
  • Reduce calories and keep food journal. Not so good here - like a 100% fail. However, I was mindful of the things that went into my mouth (as if I were going to have to write them down and add them up later). So I think I still did an okay job of cutting some calories. Really, I do not think this goal suits me - I hate it. Just sayin - who's bright idea was that anyway?
  • Purchase no more than 5 boxes per week. Little monsters have stolen time away from me this week - therefore, no time /energy for shopping. By default, no boxes have entered my house. Yeah!
Little thing about me: I am insanely crazy-happy about my new pedometer. I've always have the really cheap ones before - this one is super smart with auto reset, accurate counts, and memory for 7 days! Woo hoo!

Update Week 1

  • Consume a limit of 1 soda per week. I drank NO soda - but did almost crack on my first day when we ate out for lunch. Eating out is always harder - but I wasn't going to set myself up with no wiggle room on Day 1.
  • Do Push-Up's 3xs a week. Done.
  • Walk 2xs a week. 1 done, 1 due tomorrow.
  • Reduce calories and keep food journal. I am doing an okay job of logging my food - not so perfect at keeping the calories (but I guess you can always figure that up later). I usually don't have to do the math - just writing it down creates enough awareness to reduce the munching.
  • Purchase no more than 5 boxes per week. Went on 2 shopping trips (3 stores) - spinach came in a box (doesn't count). Salmon came in a box. Pasta came in a box. Graham crackers. One box meal. So, success!
Random tidbit about me: I can not be trusted with a bag of Baked Lays. Ever.
