I check in here every Friday, but my fitness week is Monday – Sunday. So my check-ins are always about a week behind.
Last Week (December 30 – January 5, 2020):
So it’s time to get serious, right? I had some great momentum before the holidays, and I need to get back to that place. I have been thoughtful about my goals: what works, what is obtainable, what is fluff, etc. I eliminated by daily step goal FOR NOW. I think it’s more important to get into a steady routine of exercise which includes more yoga, before I work on all the steps. I also am cutting back on my weekly alcohol intake – I’ve never been a big drinker, but those are calories I don’t need. As for eating – I am working on being mindful of what my body is telling me. I want to eat only if I’m hungry and not overeat.
Last week started in 2019, and those few days were filled with lots of extra calories (+2,419 cals). The remainder of the week was much better, still over the weekly calories, but only +323 cals. I was actually down 1.6 lbs from the previous week (which hit my high weight for the year). So I’m working on turning things around.
My Goals for 2020:
My overall goals for 2020 remain much the same as the past few months:
- To lose 10 pounds and get back to my goal weight through healthy eating and exercise.
- To remain an active member of FitReaders and support my fellow members.
Goals for January:
How did I do this past week?
