Ok so far this week:
Monday: Food: I managed to stay within my cal goal (easy to do when I'm working on stabilizing that). I gave in to my must have that night (frozen yogurt) though.
. Cardio/Strength: I did it! I haven't done cardio or a workout from a challenge since.. since I don't know when lol. I even did them all, 10 sets. Water: I got that.8 glasses, np.
Tuesday: Food: Stayed within my cal limit. I had to do a takeout lunch though, as there wasn't anything at work (I thought I had, but forgot it.) Cardio: Do 30-45 minutes of increased heart rate activity. -- Bingo. 3.1 mi jog/walk.45 mins
Strength: Do 10 sets of 10 push-ups - I missed this one oops! Water: 8? Yep. I made it to 10.
Wednesday: Food: Within cal limit. Got it. New food? not really, but I had a chef salad from the store that I'd not had before. Cardio/Strength: rest day today- no real cardio other than my all day running back and forth at work (6.3 mi walked today) Water: I made it to 11 glasses.0 -
Thursday: Food: Under cals. Don't add salt? I don't add much salt generally. My issue is that I take in food that has a high sodium content already Cardio: Run day- 3 mi, 45 mins. Water: 8 done.
Friday: Food: Cals, np. Eat all day? Usually not a prob. Close the kitchen at 8 PM? Issue. I didn't even get home from work til 7:15. But I did limit my eating to just at dinner time and no later (we ate about 10pm). Cardio/Strength: didn't do these today Water: got my 8 in
Saturday: Food: Ok I was kinda bad today. Everything was last minute on my plans w a friend and I ate bad food choices. I was over my limit but not too bad. I did not really snack much, and could only eat when everyone was together and brought the food.
Cardio; I went w my son and our friend and hiked up (and back down) the side of Stone Mountain. About 1.5 mi up and another down.. a steep, STEEP climb lol. Strength: I think the hike/climb was both cardio and strength today lol. Water: I made sure!0
