I haven't weighed in for the week yet, I have WW later today, so will post about that after I find out what the damage of the beach was! I had all good intentions when we went to the beach, and it was good....until we went to the supermarket & Papa Patch suggested chips and dip. DAMN HIM! It was all downhill from there with chips, dips, lollies, ice cream. But we reined it back in as soon as we got home (luckily we were only away two days!). I'm determined not to let our holiday this week turn into the same thing!
Goals for week 2:
* Continue to track daily - tracked everyday apart from 2 days at the beach. It's so bad when you get out of routine!!
* Continue to drink at least 2x drink bottles of water every day - managed to succeed at this goal!
* Continue with my exercise atleast 5 out of 7 days (with 3 runs) - Only did two runs, exercised 4 out of 7 days. again, DAMN holidays!!
* Eat as many meals as I can with my non-dominant hand (as set out by the Spring Chick Challenge as a mini goal for the week) - i think i did two meals like this, i just kept forgetting! goes to show how absent-mindedly i eat my meals. really should pay more attention!
* Try one new recipe and post it to my blog - tried a new WW pasta recipe. was CRAP!! so not going to post it. wouldnt want to inflict that pain on any of you guys!
* Go to atleast one group fitness class at the gym - done! went to a boxfit class with Papa Patch. was good to smash the s*#t out of the boxing bag :)
* Do not eat any meals while watching TV (so that I can actually concentrate and appreciate my meal) - hmmmmm......
However, despite the AVERAGE week, I have put together an excel sheet with all the details of my runs (distance, time, average speed in both km/hour and mins/km) and its so cool to see that over the last 3 runs, my speed has slowly increased. YAY! I am now up to just over 43kms for the year so far. and loving how I am feeling because of it :)
Week 3's goals will be:
* track EVERY SINGLE DAY! even if I have bad food, i HAVE to write it down.
* Exercise 5 out of 7 days.
* Go for a run on the sand while at the beach
* NO SWEETS! (as set out by Spring Chick Challenge)
Will let you know in a couple of hours how weigh in goes :P Fingers crossed!!!
Remember: Losing weight makes you look good in clothes, exercise makes you look good naked!

I agree with you, tracking is key. It really, really is! Also, I love that last phrase. So true!
ReplyDeleteThe no sweets is going to be a tough one for me but we can do it! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the water, my goal is 2L a day and I don't quite make it.
ReplyDeleteive started putting lemon juice in my water. just a little bit, but i seem to be drinking more. maybe coz its not so bland??
DeleteHey! Thats life - there is some give and take. In the last week or so you've shown that you're really dedicated to eating well and exercising. Things like vacations are going to come up and thats FINE. Good on you for still getting in the runs you did! Congrats on the speed victory! Keep it up girl xx

Tracking is so important! I don't think we realize how important it is until we actually do it and see the results. Great job on the week and keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteLove that little ending quote! It's perfect for inspiring me to run instead of walk! Sounds like you have the right attitude for success!
ReplyDeleteRead your weigh in post and this post. Good for you and glad you had a wonderful time at the beech.
ReplyDeleteTracking everything is important. It helps me to stay on track... Good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteI have the worst time with tracking but it helps to stay on track. Glad you're having a good time at the beach!
ReplyDeleteTwo days at the beach isn;t so bad, but yes, getting off routine can cause so many issues! Tracking is key. Love the trends in your running too!
