Calorie intake kept around 1200 - I did fairly well with this goal, I need to really track this better because I guess-timate a lot.
Water intake, 80 ounces a day. I was only short on this maybe one day and believe me, I noticed. My body was so used to being hydrated I just felt sluggish and not as well so I won't be doing that again!
Cardio - 30 minutes a day. Easy breezy! I usually did more than 30.
Strength - 4x week. I probably only did this 3 times.
Fried food only 1x a week - I ate fried food twice. Once, bacon breakfast pizza (not technically fried, but... so not good and the other time the Indian taco....)
Sweet treat - only once every other week. Last week I didn't have anything sweet, which is a shocker. That means the allowance is still there for this week if I so desire. Lots of delicious fresh fruit, which is way better!
Use allowed walking time at work - I did this 3 out of the 5 days
WEIGHT: Last week, 311. This morning: 306! I have lost 5 pounds this week.
I was going to do my weight on Wednesdays, but have decided I will do it Mondays as the rest of you are.

Very, very good! Where did you get your stainless steel water bottle? I would love to have one. THanks
ReplyDeleteThe water bottle was a random find at TJ maxx, but I've seen them in other department stores. They're wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYa on 5 pounds!!!! You also did wonderful on your goals and exercise; makes me more inspired this week so thank you!
ReplyDeleteStainless steel bottle is truly a cool way to do it...A flask full of Whiskey...is NOT the way to hydrate. LOL. I used to work at c-store truck stop and you would not believe the amount of whiskey flasks I sold. It is sort of scary.
ReplyDeleteYou did so well. Happy Happy!!! Keep to it!
BTW I love your list. I remember 30 and 40 transition. At 40 I pierced my nose and kept looking at the mirror thinking-yea yea I look younger. LOL
When I was at the mall, I thought of taking pics of my wishes and these Panda Masseuses they could not speak English and said no no no when I tried to picture their sign. It was really a really serene logo of and Asian Panda. I explained I was making a wish list and they were going to be on it and they still said no no no. Everybody else was nice.
Wowsers! That's great!! Congrats on the 5lb loss :-) And thanks for stopping by my blog (and reading my VERY long winded post!!) Good luck with your letter!
