Inventory Time
Well, it's been about three months since I started WW, so I figure it's a good time to assess how I've done and what I need to change. Then, I'll work on a weekly plan of attack.
Good things:
- I've lost 13 pounds...woohoo!! This loss is a lot less than I know I'm capable of, but it's a good start considering my effort.
- I've prepared healthy meals at home more often.
- I've consciously made better food decisions.
- Exercise: I was doing great at first!! Then, I got busy with schoolwork and haven't been to the gym in a couple of weeks now. I need to get back into gear with that!
- I haven't actually tracked my points since the first week. I mentally calculate, but I know I'm probably off a bit.
- I've had a couple of binges in the past month due to some stressful events and sickness.
- I need to sleep more!!!! I have been going on 4 or 5 hours of sleep many days, and I know I feel like crap afterwards. Also, this study reveals why I've been so ravenous lately!! If I want to lose weight, I need more sleep. (I knew I'd forget to post this link...thanks for reminding me memphiswordnerd!!)
- Get to the gym three times this week for a minimum of one hour. I also will check into the 24-hour gym that recently opened up to see if that will work better with my schedule.
- Write down every morsel of food that goes into my mouth, track the point values, and how I felt when I ate.
- Get to bed by 11:30 three times this week.
- Get rid of those darn Dove chocolates in my room that I bought earlier this week!
- Start using my pedometer again and make conscious efforts to walk more by taking a walk either outside or in the building during my breaks at work. That way, when I'm short on time, I can at least accomplish something for me!! I need to work back into the 10,000 steps a day goal that I had worked on last year. Thank you to Mo for the idea!!
