Can you believe we are halfway through June already?! Seriously, where does the time go? I feel like I just made up my goals last week and now I'm halfway to meeting them, or rather, not meeting them.
1) Weekly Weigh-in / lose 4 lbs.
I still hate the scale! My excitement about being 169 last week was derailed when it said 171 yesterday. Today it said 170. I'm not on track to losing 1 lb a week...I'm on track to gaining 1 lb a week. UGH! When is all of this supposed to start clicking?!
2) Track every day.
Doing good with this one as well. Myfitnesspal said I'm at 30 days - woo-hoo! But, wait, before I get too excited I must remind myself that when I hit "complete" that means I'm done, no turning off the computer, and then "forgetting" to log the late night munchies.
3) Up the cardio!!!
I did some type of cardio every day last week. This is what my week looked like at a glance:
Sun - run
Mon - walk (3 miles), Lean 1
Tues - walk (1 mile), elliptical for 1 hour
Wed - walk (3 miles)
Thurs - run
Fri - walk (2.5 miles), Lean 3
Sat - Zoo (lots of walking)
Sun - run (5 miler!!!)
Mon - walk (3 miles)
...and yet I still put on 1-2 lbs. That is a crazy amount of extra calories I must've eaten. I just don't see it. Gosh darn it!
4) My 4th and final goal for June is to not eat after 8pm.
Yea, not doing so good on this one. We've started making popcorn on the stove top. 3 TBSP oil and 1/3 cup popcorn, that's it. Chris gets half, I get half. I was thinking it's around 100-150 calories, but I just hopped over to myfitnesspal and created the recipe - it's 345 cals per serving BUT that's still only an extra 200 calories...that doesn't equal 2 lbs.
All my goals are tied into each other - I tracked every day, up'd my cardio, did not do so good with stopping the late night munchies, and the scale went up. I think each one reflects upon the other SO, maybe if I focus on cutting out the late night snacking the scale will go in the direction I want it to? I've noticed that I'll "complete" my food log for the day, log off the computer, and then grab a snack which I conveniently forget to log the next day, so really there is no point in analyzing the numbers when they aren't accurate to begin with. Sigh. Setting myself up for failure is what I'm doing. What's the point of putting in all the extra work (i.e. cardio) if I'm sabotaging myself with the munchies?!
I so got this! I AM greater then these darn munchies, I WILL figure this out, and I WILL continue to be proud of myself for all that I've accomplished so far!
