Weekly goals let's go!! THURSDAY CHECK IN!!!

What were YOUR goals this week?

 

My goals for THIS week.

EXERCISE:  Starting Couch to 5K Week 2 and meet up with Personal Trainer
I am doing really good with this EVEN with my arthritis flare up.  I met with the PT and plan do go tonight to do his workout.  Plan on changing up some things for next week.

FOOD:  I am going to put MORE effort into getting my carbs under 50g per day.  I have my meals planned out for the week so we'll see how it goes.
I am SUPER proud of myself with planning my meals the night BEFORE so I will know what the carbs are.  Today I'm making the stroganoff recipe so I don't know what the carbs will be but it's mainly meat, mushrooms, onions and cabbage so it should be minimal.

How are YOU all doing this week?  I think I might do a FINAL week check in on Saturday (Sunday is a day of rest) what you think??

Ms Shell

 

My goals for this week are to have goals...lol!  There is a first time for everything.  I am six weeks out today and had a mini-meltdown.  I am losing weight.  I have lost 50 lbs...but oh it seems like I have so far to go...oh well... one day at a time..

1.  I am going to measure every morsel that goes in my mouth, not just eyeball it.

2.  I am going to stick what I know works and not be so concerned with other people telling me I need to be more "adventurous" or that I won't be able to eat this way forever.  I get that but it works for now and I really want to lose another 100 pounds before September 25 when my son is due home from deployment.

3.  I am going to do the Richard Simmons chair workout at least four days this week...even if it takes me several 15 minute sessions to get it all in.

I just reread this and can see I am still a little down...but one day at a time.  I know it can be done because I see so many of you being successful...thanks for keeping on keeping on Ms. Shell, Elina and all the seasoned vets...you are an inspriration.

You are quite welcome I have NO choice because I had WLS for life.  Try not to get caught up in the lose X by such and such date...you are doing wonderfully and focus on YOU and don't let anyone else into YOUR head...well unless they are UPLIFTING =)

One day at a time!

Great Job!

For Me:

Exercise: I have only taken 1 day off from the gym, if I make it tonight and tomorrow night that will make 6 days, so I am on track to achieve that goal. I did add one additional exercise to my program so I achieved that as well. For next week stick to the 6 days and alternate between the rowing machine and the elliptical on my Cardio 60(20/20/20) days.

Food: I did eat more veggies this week but not to the level I want to be at. So I need to stay on that. I also want to eat less ready to go stuff this week, so no turkey sausage. I am going to roast a turkey breast this weekend and eat straight up turkey meat and veggies next week. I can see my carb count trickling up because of the sauces and other extra stuff I add to my meals. This week will be turkey and spinach or fish and spinach.

Day 4 of the 5DPT.  Lost 4lbs and did full body strength training all days planned.  Cravings gone and appetite back in check. 

I decided instead of going on soft foods today to just do five days of shakes.  May incorporate one Greek Yogurt.  Pretty happy with my week.

I did great with water & vits but how lame is that to just rely on that?? It's not that hard for me usually unless I am out of town because then for some reason I tend to forget. I complained earlier this week abou****er retention. I hope that's what this is because the scale has been a little ***** since the new year started. The scale was showing me a teeny bit of love today; just hope I don't jack it up with my off plan day today.
One day at a time, right?? Here's to a new life, new eating habits & a healthier lifestyle.

I'm having my own mini pitty party BUT I will take the time out to stay...stop tripping.  The WHOLE point about setting goals is to ACHIEVE me so it's ok if they are "easy" ones.  Because it's a PROCESS of SMALL goals leading to BIG victories...

Ms Shell

Oh and the week is NOT over miss "how lame" so you NEED to continue the water and vits until the WEEKEND!!!

I will Ms. Shell!!!!   Thanks for the reminder and you are right ... goals are goals and if you reach them, you succeed no matter what. 

My goals this week:

- Track my food every day, and stay under my calorie goal

- Run every other day, and get to the gym at least 5 days a week

 

So far, I'm meeting my goals :)  Right now I'm working really hard to lose the weight that I gained this summer/fall/winter.  Happily, it's going really well.  I really want to be under 135 for my cruise in a few weeks, and I think I will be.  I REALLY want to be under 130 and following a maintenance plan by the summer, and I think I will be.  I look forward to continuing to log my food, and way myself daily while in maintenance!
