Week 2 Summary

This week wasn't good at all.  Here is this week’s summary:

Monday:  Did my weigh in as stated in my previous post...a 3 lb lost.  This was exciting...I did a 2.9 mile jog and did level 1 of the 30 Day Shred.

Tuesday:  I had the intentions to work out after helping my older son's teacher.  Tuesday is my day to help her out.  But I decided to do errands after..and by the time I was done it was time to pick up the kids from school.  Workout FAIL.

Wednesday AND Thursday:  I got a cold and decided to give my body a break.  I pretty much stayed in bed all day.

Friday:  I know I said I would only weigh myself every Monday, but I was anxious since I haven't worked out since Monday.  I was afraid that I was gaining weight back.  However, I weighed myself out of my normal time. I did this after taking a shower, with wet hair and I had not gotten dressed yet.  To my surprise, 147!  No way.  That means since Monday, a 2.6 lb loss and to date 5.6 lost in 12 days...averaging .46 lb lost every day.  Hmm, I hope this isn't going to somehow backfire on me.  But I think I'll be able to reach my goal for 10 lbs lost before the 27th.  y reward will be dress shopping if I pull this through.

Saturday and Sunday:  I was giving myself the excuse of needing my body to recoup as an excuse not to work out.  At least I still ate fairly healthy.

Which bring is to today's weigh in:

Week 1 Stats: 2/1/10
149.6 lbs
40.5% BF
27.4 BMI

Week 2 Stats:  2/8/10

148.2 (-1.4)

40.3% BF (-.2)

27.1 BMI (-.3)

Not so bad considering I only worked out once.  So today I busted my ass and did a 2.17 mile jog, which burned 240 calories and right after did level 1 of the 30 day shred.  I think this puts me at day 5 of the shred?  I'm not quite sure.  But today felt like day 1.  It was rather difficult since I had not done it in a week.  All in all it was a good workout.  

There is supposed to be rain this week so I'm not quite sure how many runs I can get in this week.  That's the drawback of not having a gym membership.  But my goals this week are:

• DRINK MORE WATER!  I seriously need to stress this because there are some days that by the end of the day I do not feel so well.
• I need to up the protein and fiber.  I already eat lean meats, but I wonder if I have enough?  I usually eat some kind of lean protein for lunch and dinner.
• More fruits and veggies!  I need to make it a point to have more fruits and veggies, especially veggies.
• To run at least 3x this week.  My plans are to run tomorrow after helping at school as well as on Wednesday and/or Thursday weather permitting.

Overall, it was an OKAY week and I hope to see at least a 2 lb weight lost for next week’s weigh in.
