Think Thin Thursday goals

Oh New Year, and your resolutions. I'm not making it a New Year resolution, because that's too much pressure.

This week. Just this week. That's all I'm going to focus on. I'd like to get 3 30 minute workouts in. And I'd also like to try to do a few minutes of whatever every day. Because a few minutes has got to be better than nothing. If I get nothing more done than a few situps or squats or something, I'm going to be happy for those few minutes. I have a tendency to think if I can't carve out 30-45 minutes, it's not worth doing anything (which means I just don't do anything, ever). But surely 10 minutes makes a difference if it's all I can do.

As for a weight loss goal, I don't have one right now. Because I haven't weighed myself in the past couple weeks. Holidays. I didn't want to know. Maybe next week I'll brave it.

Happy New Year!

Think Thin Thursday

It's Think Thin Thursday -- time for an update.

I finally reached my goal (that one pound one from a while ago)! It took a couple more weeks than I wanted, but since I had gained a couple of extra pounds and ended up with 3 to lose, I feel pretty good about it. It's such a challenge with holiday deliciousness everywhere. I've tried to reign in the cookie intake, and I even chose to forgo a couple of great chai opportunities to skip the calories.
AND. I exercised. Once. But that's better than nothing. And I liked the DVD I used. I will try it again.

My goal for next week: 1 more pound!

Woohoo!

I did 25 minutes of Tae Box! Hooray!
Since I didn't meet my goal last week, I was hoping this week to get back down to my goal (which is 2 pounds now). We'll see. I got myself up off my laurels, and I'm considering that a victory.

Think Thin Thursdays

Bridgette over at The Not-So-Blog Blog is trying to lose some post-baby weight, and looking for people to suffer through with her! Seems like a good time to get serious on this blog.

So my goal for the first week is to lose one pound. And I want to do the Wii Fit at least 3 times, and figure out what on earth else I can do. And for petessake, I need to lay off the Halloween candy.

There you have it. Week one. Off we go then.

Day 1. Again.

Yes. Well. Today is a new day, isn't it?

Day 2

Ok. This morning on the scale was rough. By changing my eating habits I'd managed to whittle the weight down a bit. Or 22 pounds. Over the past few months I've gotten really lax on what I've been eating. It's been inching back on. And now it's 6 pounds back. Grrr. Trying to remind myself it's not about numbers. It's fitness. It's fitness. IT'S FITNESS. fitness.

Eating
I did alright today. I made tacos with whole wheat shells and ground turkey for dinner. I even did better than usual on water intake.

Exercise
Yeah I did!! I took off from our house on foot to enjoy some fabulous fall weather. I went UP the hill. Then I went up more hills. Hills so straight up your heels don't touch the ground. And when I got to the top, I ran home. I walked some, ran some. Tried to push it. I think I reached the brink. Had I pushed it a bit more, I would have pushed too far. Might have made myself ill. But I did it. And for a girl who has never had a regular habit of exercise at any point in my life, I feel good.

Day 1

Well shoot.

Eating
I did alright, but not great. A friend and I did dinner at Arby's.

Exercise
Not really. Not today. Except for briskly walking about The Wawl-mart. But I did check out a Biggest Loser DVD from the library.

Thank goodness tomorrow is a new day. Thanks to my commenters for the encouragement! I'm looking into some of the suggestions.
