Goals for the week

an0nemus

So, I dropped only 1 pound this week, a little less actually. The week started strong but ended weak as I had a mid week weigh in that said I was down 2.5 lbs.

So, I have a primary goal this week:

1) Follow through on the logging. Don't 1/2 *kitten* it after doing good for 4 days.

I also have 2 secondary goals:

2) more water. Right now the only real water I get is from my coffee and my food.
3) Elliptical machine 2x this week for 20 minutes each time.

I never really thought of setting, goals for the week....

so... I thought I would take baby steps and just have ONE goal for the week

NO SNACKING AFTER 7 PM..... (or after dinner)

This one is really hard because I sometimes have a late dinner because I get home late from the gym.

1. Stick to the approved 21 Day Sugar Detox Level 1 foods.
2. Exercise according to my new schedule (MonWedFri: Couch 2 5k; TuThu: 30 Day Shred; Sat: Killer Abs)
3. Enjoy time with my family in the evenings after dinner instead of binging like I have been.
4. Multivitamin every day.
5. At the very least 64 oz of water every day.

Before this weigh in my goals were 2 +3. however, after being somehwat disappointed on the scale I decided to add a new goal, and that should be my top objective. If I'm able to do that then 1 turns into a secondary goal and 2 (or 3) moves up to #1.

Usually I try to make them somehwat measurable, but for water I'm happy with 'any' since I'm currently at 'none'. If I can get the water daily, then I'll add an amount to it.

Though, on the topic of water, I had a doctor tell me "don't drink X amount of water a day, just drink it when you're thirsty. If you drink too much water you'll lose too many minerals in the elimination process". So, of course, I took that to mean 'drink beer'.

Weight loss week starts on Mondays....

Monday-journaled until my free meal. Went out drinking with a friend, had 3 beers and chicken tenders for dinner.
Tuesday-back to journaling. Finished under
Wednesday-journaled, stopped drinking coffee at 10, started drinking water. Started peeing at 10:15.

No elliptical yet (it haunts me in my computer room). Tonight! (I said that last night too....). My goal is to get 1 work out by tomorrow morning and then another by monday morning.

I need a goal for this week, especially since it has not been going to well so far!

Eat dinner . . . last night I was cooking some brussel sprouts and burned them so I had cheese and crackers and chocolates for dinner :indifferent:

Tonight and the rest of the week I will do better

I weighed in Thursday morning (mid week weigh in...not recorded just a 'I wonder how....')

Only down .5 mid week. I was sorta disappointed BUT I mentally tracked what I had on Monday night, and its not SOOO bad.

I've decided I won't be on the ellptical today...just SO boring. Decided to do about 30 minutes of working out with dumbbells. After my friends left I decided to grab some free weights!

I'm missing the coffee, but I forgot how refreshing a cold (filtered) glass of water could be....

Oh well..onto the weekend and then Monday morning (which does sound like to infinity and beyond..)

So, I didn't do too well on my goals this week.

In review:

1) I logged really well for 5 days..and then fell apart on Sat. and Sunday (truth be told it fell apart Friday night because I waited too long to eat)
2) I drank more water last week, so I'll take that as a positive.
3) I did have 2 work out last week...1 strength and 2 shoveling snow/ice.

I really guess it was 1.5 work outs. Though, the failure of the first goal is responsible for 1.5 Lb weight gain (well...that and my wife's home made soup and bread....)

Goal for the week:

Primary: LOG ON SATURDAY and SUNDAY
Secondary: 2-3 'real' workout

Maintain: Water drinking, positive outlook, not freezing.

5. ACV atleast 2x a day
6. Wear my braces bands as much as I can (I hate them)

8. Finish hmwk.studying
9. Wake up no later than 4 5x week
10. Sleep enough 6-8 hours

I'm not quite ready to give up the alcohol completely.

I've cut down quite a bit, but I have an old friend and we get together every other week and knock back a few and exchange stories.

Went from 3 times a week (1-2 beers each), down to every other week where we have 2-3 beers.

My primary goal isn't here yet (Saturday/Sunday)

I've had a single real work out 30 minute walk (real for me....).

I weighed this morning and I was down 1.7lbs from Monday.

So, if I keep that (not the pace, but the amount) I'm set for a good weigh in on Monday.

I am real close to meeting my goals. I have tracked and eliminated the alcohol during the week. But 3 and 4 are out the window. I have been sticking to my plan while at work but once I get home dinner is always changed. I still try and make conscious decisions of what I am eating though.

Sort of a mixed bag.

I built onto the 1.7 loss with an additional .7 loss. However, I thought I would have posted closer to 1.5 (given the pace), but still a loss is a loss and I'll take it.

I started to slack off on Saturday, but I really only ate once (Chicken Fajitas...ate 1/2 at lunch and the other half with a salad for dinner), I logged but I'm pretty sure I got the calorie content wrong.

Success-Logging for the week, water.

I'm still having an issue getting my workouts in. That's what I think did me in last time, hard to get past the sedentary life style.

Goals for next week:

1) WORKOUT 2-3 times (got 1 in 30 minute walk)
2) Moar Water (get to drinking it with every meal)

I don't really have a secondary goal this week, and that's kinda disturbing me.

In case anyone is wondering why the ticker only shows 1 lb loss, I 'started' in August and then put on about 10 lbs. So I'm back below the August weight.

hmm....8/2013-1/2014 +10lbs
1/2014-3/2014 -11 lbs

I'll take that......

I always set small weekly and even daily goals.

This week -

eat more veggies
Mon - run and abs
Tues - 3 hours of volleyball
Wed - rest day - try and stay under my calories
Thurs - legs and abs
Fri - 3 hours volleyball
Sat - arms and abs
Sun - Plyo

BOOM! ***this used to be my normal, but with my parents declining health, some nights I'm stuck at a hospital. :-)

So, last week started horribly.

I budgeted for 4 beers and a modest dinner.

INSTEAD...7 beers, chicken strips, 2 taquitos and a large rice krispy treat with peanut butter. Finished the week 1.4 lbs down.

This monday isn't my monday night out.

On the work out front, I was able to get in 4 good walks, plus about 10 minutes on my ellptical. I also bought a fitbit on Sunday and linked it to my MFP account.

Goals for the week:

1) Learn my fitbit
2) keep up the walks
3) Add 10-15 more minutes this week (20-30 minutes total).
4) No alcohol.

So, these are in the order of their importance, I'm thinking I'll do away with secondary goals and just list them in order of importance.

The weather is still 'nice' (not great, but nice) that should make the walks easier.

I have a doctor's appointment on Friday morning so I'll be interested in what the doc has to say.

have a good week everybody!

That's not what it means?! :noway: Damnit! :sad:

Me, too. I always start strong with the Diary, then forget or get lazy.

2 goals
1. Start logging again. Log log log. Stop making huge pots of food then not logging them because you don't know how many caolries are in a portion. Just log.
2. Up the water content.

There are loads more I want to add onto there but I am really aware that even adding small things makes me more likely to fail on all the things. So log and drink some water. That's all I need to do right now. Everything else will follow
