I didn't do as well as I had hoped on Week #1 of the Spring Chicks Challenge, but all is not lost. My exercise was not on point, and my nutrition was just "okay." As such, I didn't see a change in my weight, but I'm just restarting my regimen, so I will get my butt in gear on Week #2 for sure. You'll see I've modified my goals slightly from last week. I'm tracking via MyFitnessPal, so calories are easier to monitor. I'm also adding a meal and snack planning goal, as last week I let myself get too hungry between meals and subsequently indulged on anything that was convenient (...I really enjoyed that Krispy Kreme donut, though!). I did an excellent job with my water and with tracking everything I ate (yes, I tracked the donut!). I just finished my daily 2-mile walk on the treadmill and I feel AWESOME, so I'm off to a great start for Week #2. Wish me luck! Here are my goals:
- Walk 2 miles on the treadmill (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday)
- Do a 3-mile walk around my neighborhood community (Saturday)
- Plan the next day's meals and snacks each evening before bed
- Do not exceed daily caloric intake of 1200
- Drink 8 glasses of water daily
- Track food and exercise on MyFitnessPal daily
- Treat myself to a day of "exercise rest" IF previous day's goals are met (Friday & Sunday)
Great attitude LaTonya:) You can rock this challenge!
ReplyDeleteSame boat over here & gonna ramp it up...What is your username on MFP? Mine is Stormyvawn. Let's knock it outta the park this week!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the week goals are too much for me!! I just focus on getting through one day truthfully!!
ReplyDeleteFortunately, there's always week2 right! And week 3, and so on. :) We just need to make the changes necessary! :D
ReplyDeleteWalking is so good for you and such a great way to get in exercise.
ReplyDeleteWeek 2 is here - make the best that YOU can. Sounds like you know where you went wrong, so you can now focus on making better choices.
I too could do a LOT more exercising right now. And make better choices in food. But this week so far (only day 2) I am doing better than last week. And next week I will focus on being better than this week. Habits... :)
Have a fantastic week!
Im a bit late in getting to everyones posts but I do hope week 2 is going well for you!! Let us know what you incorporate into your "snacks" because I can use some new ones to add to my daily rotation! <3
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with the challenge.
