Blog to Lose

No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!

Last week I wanted to...

1. Lift weights at the gym twice.
DONE!

2. Pack lunch 4/5 days. Eat dinner at home 6/7 nights.
Packed lunch 2/5 days and dinner at home (no takeout!) 6/7 nights. Woohoo!

3. Cut the calories back to 1,600.
Weekly average was 1,780. I know, I know. Far off from goal...BUT better than October's average of 1,820. Makin' progress. Also realized that 1,600 isn't that realistic either (after talking with the dietitian).

4. Log 15 miles on my Nike+ OR (if weather sucks) trade 'em in at 3 mile increments for one cardio session at the gym (40 minutes minimum). DONE! Logged 7.46 miles on my Nike+ and 130 minutes of cardio at the gym.

5. Perform some analytics on what happened in October and what new strategies you've got for November.
Posted on BTL. See What happened in October: Q & A Session.

This week I'm going to...

1. Lift weights at the gym three times. Targets: Monday. Wednesday. Saturday.
2. Pack lunch 4/5 days. Eat dinner at home 6/7 nights.
3. Average close to 1,750 calories/day this week.
4. Log 225 minutes of cardio this week. 45 minutes, 5 days this week. Sunday. Tuesday. Thursday. Friday. Saturday.
5. Push yourself with the cardio, lady! Higher levels, steeper inclines, faster speeds. Elliptical--try level 5. Treadmill--try 3% incline at 5 miles/hour for 12 minutes. Bike--burn 150 calories in 20 minutes (138 now).
6. Update the motivation board with all the good stuff you found on the blogs this week.

Also...cut my hair in a short chin length bob. LOVE IT! Pictures to come (after I get back from the gym and can wash/style it).

ohhh, I can't wait to see your new do! I'm so happy you had a great week. I feel good about the week I had too and Shannon, I have to REALLY thank you for inspiring me to set goals for the week here. I can't tell you what a difference it has made for me. It is probably one of the best steps I have taken in this journey to improve my health and find my happy weight. THANK YOU!
