Results for 10/26/2012 – 11/1/2012

Amount Lost:

1 pound!

Woohoo! FINALLY headed in the right direction!!

Amount Remaining to Lose:

124 lbs

Food Goals:

Make and take lunch all week

Absolutely, 100% totally did this! It felt great doing it too!

Continue to eat veggies and fruit as snacks instead of junk food

Another check mark! I think the structure of working makes it easier to stick to healthier meals and snacks.

Create a healthy menu of dinners for the week ahead

Seamus and I worked on this together before we went grocery shopping. All meals are planned and bought for.

Fitness Goals:

Stick to workout schedule outlined above

Um…so…I did really great with all of my food goals, not so much with my fitness. I did not stick to my schedule.

Move at least 10 minutes on 5 days, even if I only burn a few calories, moving is better than sitting on the couch

I did this on 3 out of the 5 days. I didn’t do anything high intensity and I didn’t count calories for it but I moved & stretched.

Finish the vision exercises in the book I’m reading, “The Busy Mom’s Ultimate Fitness Guide“

I did complete this and it felt really good to spew (that’s a sexy word) everything out onto paper. This way I have it to look at. It wasreally motivating, now I just need to put it into practice.

Goals for 11/2/2012 – 11/8/2012:

Food Goals:

TRACK! Track Track and Track some more! I did a really great job of it this week, I want to continue on into next week.

I’m using My Fitness Pal, leave me a comment if you’d like to add me as a friend on their…I’ll happily share my username.

Keep on packin’ that lunch. I’m alright with going out to lunch one time, on Friday.
Make healthy and mindful choices.

Fitness Goals:

Since I purchased a yoga mat yesterday (and it should be arriving Monday), resume practicing of yoga. Yay!
Continue to try to get at least 10 minutes of movement in 5 out of the 7 days.
Stick to my workout schedule. I’m only asking for 3 days for 30 minutes a day, this go around. I can do it!

Here’s to a fantastic outlook and a great week ahead!!

Any goals you’d like to share?

Friday Fitness

Posted on September 28 by Jillian416 • 0 Comments

I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life but even at times when I’ve been overweight, I was in pretty good shape because I’ve always been so active. Unfortunately I can no longer say that. I did not gain much while pregnant, it was pretty much all baby and water weight. About two weeks after Emmett was born, I was back down to my pre-baby weight but I had fallen completely out of shape.

I started taking short walks with Emmett at about 3 weeks out and I realized what poor shape I was in. I was pretty disappointed! I say all this not because I am beating myself up, I realize I grew life inside me and then birthed it out, but because I want to get back to where I was, that felt good!

With that being said, I do my best when I set hard and fast rules for myself. I ~~want~~ need to get back into the shape I was in last September. I ran (with some walking mixed in) a half marathon, I was on top of the world, so I know I can do it. So I plan on posting my weekly goals every Friday under the heading “Friday Fitness.”

I’m hoping that by sharing on my blog, I will hold myself accountable for everything on here so that I can only report success. Each week I will share the amount of weight I’ve lost, the amount I have left to lose, my food goals and my fitness goals, and I want you as the reader to feel free to join me by sharing your goals below. We can hold each other accountable!

Goals for 9/28/12 – 10/4/2012:

Amount Lost:

Since this is my first week I do not have an amount to share for how much I’ve lost.

Amount Remaining to Lose:

119.6 (Yep! I have a ways to go!)

Food Goals:

Snacks are my downfall. I need to work on cutting out all the snacks that have no nutritional value.
Eat more fruit and veg. By doing the above, this one should come naturally
EAT. AT. HOME. I have such a habit of grabbing food out while I’m running errands. I will allow myself to go out for 1 dinner and 1 lunch a week.
Find some new recipes that Seamus and I can make for dinners

Fitness Goals:

Get my butt to a gym and open a membership with them. I have two gyms in mind, one of them has a pool which is the one I’m leaning towards because I love swimming but I want to ensure the rest of the gym is in good condition before actually joining.
Walk! There is NEVER an excuse not to put Emmett in the stroller and hit the pavement, even if it’s for a short jaunt.
Make my fitness goals a top priority!

Alright, so next week, I will report back with how things went. I will be reporting back with success, just an FYI. 😉

You’re turn! – What are you health and fitness goals?
