Check In

Well, here are my stats for the week.

25 out of 35 meals on plan for a 71% compliance. Which is very bad. I think what happened this week was I was VERY discouraged from gaining 2 lbs last week after working so hard on eating right and exercising. So I SERIOUSLY lost my momentem and gave up.

I completed 4 out of 6 workouts.

Basically I am never going to lose weight if I don't do better than that.

I am down one pound from last week, so a net gain of one pound since I started my challenge 4 weeks ago.

That's about it. Try, try again.

Goals for Weeks 4,5 and 6

Hey! My new goals for weeks 4, 5 and 6;
1. 90% compliance for eating
2. 5 to 6 workouts per week
3. 6 servings of fruits/veges per day
4. 32 oz water during work day
5. get to bed 9:45 most nights
6. Lose inches!!!
7. Keep non-structured activity UP! (Goal is 180 min./week)

Confused

Well here is my update.

My eating compliance goal for this week was 85%. I made 83%. Not quite my goal but still very good. I am fairly pleased. I get close and than I sabatoge myself at the end of the week when I am almost there. Anyway. Exercise is also good. I made 5 of the 6 scheduled workouts.

Here is the confusing part. 3 weeks into my challenge I have GAINED 2 POUNDS. That is A LOT for me. The only time I have ever gained like that was when I was pregnant:) Seriously!
Needless to say I am NOT happy about that. I am supposed to go the other way. I suppose it could be muscle but I really don't know. My bust and my waist measurements are down 1.25 inches (sum total) but my hips, thighs and bicep are up in measurements 1.125 inches (sum total). So some measurements are up and some are down. Kind of a wash.

So where do I go from here. Do I change something or keep with the program. My gut feeling is to give it a couple more weeks. I know I am eating healthier than I have been so that is a plus.

Well I's like to write more but I have to go cook dinner now. I will check in later.

GOALS for this week: 90% compliance with my eating, at least 5 workouts (6 if I feel up to it but optional)

77

77 percent compliance. 27 out 35 meals were on the plan. I missed making my 80 percent goal this week by one meal. Oh well. I missed one workout this week because I felt that I needed the rest. I think I made the right choice on that.

My official weigh in after two weeks on my personal challenge to lose 10.5 lb is +0.3 lb gained, no loss. Yikes. Not good.

I plan to make 85 percent compliance this week with my eating (I am working my way up to 90 percent, can you tell?) and complete all of my workouts. In order to complete my workouts, I need to make getting enough sleep a PRIORITY. I just get too run down if I don't get my sleep.

Onward and upward I go!

Disappointed and Mad as H#ll

I'm checking in to say that I am doing well following my plan. I am 11 days into it. I have gained 0.5 lb. I don't know why. I don't feel like I am overeating at all so I don't understand. I DO feel very stressed. I can almost feel the cortisol running through my body! OK, so that is an exageration but that is sort of how I feel. Basically I am VERY disappointed that I have not lost anything so far. I feel like SCREAMING becasue I am SO mad that I haven't lost. I need to focus on going to bed early and getting enough sleep.

I will do 80!

Last week, my nutrition compliance was about 72% and my exercise compliance was 100%. This "compliance" is based on the PN compliance grid.

I WILL do AT LEAST 80% compliance for my nutrition THIS week!!!

Week One

I gained a little bit during my first week.

No loss yet!

Well I am five days into it. I have not lost any weight yet. This is not surprising since it has only been 5 days but it is also disappointing nevertheless. I am starving today!
