Health & Fitness Goals

Well this has been my first week on my health and fitness goals, and I did well.  My biggest issue is motivation and planning, if I was rushed or eating late that is when I tend to grab something quick, like chips, crackers or cookies.  But for the most part I think I did well.

I have not weighed myself, so I have no clue if I lost any weight, but I do feel like I have.  My parents scale hates me and makes me weigh 5 lbs more than mine at home (that I love).  So I did not weigh this week.

This is my original list the items bolded are what I did completely and the items in red need work.

1. Drink 3 Large glasses of water at work. (at work I tend to only drink coffee)

2.Walk 3 days a week  (during my lunch hour 20 minutes minimum.)

3. Do not eat past 7 pm. (this works out well because the boys like to eat right at 6pm, and past that is when I tend to eat sweets) I did eat after 7 a few days but usually fruit

4. Only have 1 sweet per week. (that way I don’t feel deprived and I enjoy it more) I had one cookie on Wednesday!

5. Choose fruits and veggies over junk food.

6. Work out with hand weights 3 times a week 20 minutes minimum. (I can do this while I watch tv in the evenings)

7. Eat smaller portions of food, and only fast food 2 times a month.  (this will mean taking my lunch to work  and using a smaller plate at home)

8. Plan meals so that lack of planning doesn’t cause me to overeat.

9. Play more with the boys. (like taking a walk, going to swing, etc)

10. Walk more (park farther away at work, grocery store, etc.)

If anyone is interested in joining me, link up to this post with your goals and tips.  If you don’t have a blog leave me a comment.

We can do this together and motivate one another.  I really do need the motivation, so if somebody I know in real life or online is reading this and sees me slacking off, call me on it, I might hate you at that moment but I will be thanking you when I am fitting in my size 6’s again!!!!!!!!!!
