peace + love + cupcakes

I was sort of lame in week 1 so let’s kick some booty this week. 

I didn’t keep up with my push-ups, I worked out 3 out of the 5 days I should’ve & I gained 1.3 pounds. Blah!  But I still walked 14 miles which I think is the most I’ve ever walked in a week. That’s good, right?  

My goals for this week will be to:

• Continue working towards losing 8 pounds (or rather 9.3 pounds) this month.  If I want to reach that goal that means I have to eat right & exercise 5 times this week.  
• Not eating after 8 was hit & miss.  A lot of the times I forgot about it. Soooo I set up my WW app to remind me to track all my food by 8pm.  That’s a clear reminder to STOP EATING.
• I’m still researching strength training programs. I need to start toning up.  
• My water intake has been horrible.  I bought some diet green tea from Costco and refilled our 5 gallon of water.  My goal for this week will be to finish it all this week. Insane right?  

Per the challenge, I have to go out of my way this week & perhaps do something I’ve never done before.  Funds are tight right now so I’ll have to get creative.  

Four things I did well today:

1. Made a healthy choice while eating Mexican food today.  I chose a salad with chicken & tortilla strips with low calorie dressing instead of a carb fest. 
2. No soft drinks.  Water all the way baby!
3. I listened to my body and rested.  I wanted to work out today & take tomorrow as a rest day since it’s my mom’s birthday but my body was aching. 
4. Tracked all my food.  It’s such a pain but so worth it.
