Did you stay within your nutritional goals? No, over by 268. I am not proud of this, but I did better than a normal Friday.

exercise weekly progress (Sun-Sat) 5/7 Mon-walk, tues-walk, Wed-jog, Fri-jog, Sat-30 Day Shred)

What is it about these week-ends??!! :ohwell: We just want to relax! Love the 30 Day Shred. I really want to put that back into my routine once I get comfortable with this 5K thing,

I think a Friday-flub won't hurt us too badly. (i hope)

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yep! And I didn't eat any exercise cals either :D:D Pretty happy about that.

Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yea. Really happy about it. I said I was going to rest and I did - I walked instead of running and I only walked around 3.5-4mph instead of my usual 4.25-ish. I burned between 250-300 calories (different estimates everywhere I check) but I didn't eat any of them, so I am really happy about that!

What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I managed to go on a walk and not allow myself to jog, which is a struggle. My body always wants to push itself now and jogging is such a nice stress release. It makes me feel great about what my newly fit body can do and how I'm changing my life. BUT, we definitely all need to rest sometimes and I was so achy so I am proud that I walked instead. Helped to loosen me up a bit.

What would I have done differently? Nothing! I was really happy with my day yesterday and what I ate. No one ever wants to cook on Fridays so I made a huge greek salad and we put a roasted chicken pizza in the oven. I had one slice and then filled up on salad and stayed under all my dietary goals. Treated myself to a soy latte at night too Mmmm

What is today's personal goals? Hike at least 5 miles - maybe more. I have no idea how long the trail is but we should be out there a good 1.5-2 hours. I'm also hoping not to snack too much after work at 3am. I'm working at the bar again tonight and I really want to keep myself in check. I'm aiming for a really good weekend to have a great result this weigh-in (Mon).

exercise weekly progress (Sun-Sat) - 5/7 - good walk yesterday and looking forward to a great hike today - am REALLY getting sad that the weather isn't going to stay like this for long No idea what I'm going to do this winter....

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? No, this time I was just 75 over!

Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Did it!

What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? C25K and stayed really close to my calorie goal even with going to a luncheon wedding shower, having the whole family for dinner, enjoying appetizers, elk steak (surprisingly good) and a few glasses of wine)

What would I have done differently? 1 less glass of wine would have kept me in the allowable range! :frown:

What is today's personal goals? Enjoy a relaxing Sunday that includes a long, slow & easy walk

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes, all but my sodium (curse left-over Korean food!) once again. I was well below my cals since I hiked/walked for 2+ hours.

Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Sort of, but I'm happy with it. We only managed to hike 3.2mi since that's when the trail ended, so we drove down to the lake afterward and added another 3mi along the water. I wasn't sure how much I actually burned on those walks so i just didn't eat any of my exercise cals! I also only had grapes after work, which was pretty good for me!

What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I was active with my boyfriend, which I absolutely loved. There is plenty more of that to come

What would I have done differently? I would have liked to drink more water, but its hard to leave work to use the washrooms so sometimes I have to be mindful of how much I drink...

What is today's personal goals? Long and slow run, 4 miles. My calves and hips are hurting but I'm going to take it easy and hopefully I'll make it with a decent time! Anything under 45 mins and I will be very happy.

exercise weekly progress (Sun-Sat) - 6/7 - very happy with my progress here. I am totally loving being active every day.
