Okay. It doesn't work for me not to keep track. This is the place to be honest and to show baldly whether or not I'm doing what I need to in order to get in shape, lose weight, and, hopefully, lower my cholesterol.
So--back to exercise. It helps that it's so nice out right now, too. Cool temps, sun. And it's February 6th!
My exercise for the last few days:
Saturday: 2/4--Lower body balance ball workout
2/5--45 min walk/run in the park
2/6--Upper body balance ball workout and 30 min walk/run in park (15 min running)
Need to keep track of calories, also. Made a pot of minestrone soup, chock full of veggies and beans with some lean sausage and just a smidge of bacon for taste. That plus salads this week.
Goal: lose 6 pounds by March 1 (3.5 weeks). That's more than I usually lose (under 2 pounds per week), but I have been fluctuating daily from 162-165, so I think some of this is water-weight or something . . . . I'd like to be solidly under 160 before I head up to Chicago for the conference. My clothes are just not feeling good and I don't like that feeling!!
Once back, my secondary goal is another 5 pounds by March 21st (mid spring break)(155)--keeps me at over 1 pound per week--I think I need to expect a bit more of myself than I've been doing. Another 5 pounds by middle of Spring Quarter (another 5 weeks--so I can be a bit slower then)(150). I would like to see if I can get to 145 by end of Spring Quarter, but I'd be happy with another 2-3 pounds by then.
Then hell with not having goals to lose weight and just be fit. It's too easy for me to ignore my exercise and food if I don't have solid goals like this.
Back on track . . . . .
