Tracking Update!

Tuesday, February 21, 2012

Yesterday I was within range - SCORE!

Today - has been a not so great day. But I'm tracking everything!!!! I just know that by tonight I will be over since I only have 219 calories left and it's only 3:44PM! :P

For the record - the problem with today is I decided to finish off a bag of spicy blue corn tortilla chips for part of my breakfast. OI! 450cal of not much nutritional substance. And then my mouth was on fire. I blame sleepiness. Nap came after that.

But I'm hoping to come close and I will track everything to give myself the best chance of doing so!

I had a very delightful thing as part of my "lunch" today -

Small sliced apple + cinnamon = nuke 2 min
3oz full fat Fage Greek Yogurt
9g of Love Grown Foods Granola

HEAVEN.

About 200cal of heaven. So keep that in mind for an idea. Sub lower fat yogurt or fat free whipped topping or something to lower the calories. I'd keep the granola for the crunch and since it's only 36 calories. But for myself, I'm getting into doing full fat dairy for he most part.

Gonna start getting raw milk soon from a local farm - suuuper excited about that.

Week 2 Results - MAINTENANCE!

Monday, February 20, 2012

Yeah, guess what not tracking and several days of willy nilly gets you?

NO pounds off the scale.

This week I will be on track, and it will start with tracking.

Still super glad not to have gained, especially considering yesterday I went all crazytown at the church potluck, so I have had no recovery time from that incident! Hoping for a good loss week this week, but hoping won't get it done. Time to get cracking on some ACTION.

I DID get out for a run yesterday. Last week's mileage total was about 12 miles - suuuper wimpy. But I haven't got a longer run in the mix yet and that was on 3 days of running. This week I am adding a day and lengthening the longest run. I'd tell beginner runners not to do both at once but I'm a returner, not a beginner. So my old fitness should be bouncing right back as I pick things up. That's the idea, anyway.

Today: Meal plan and grocery shop. Do ST. Track everything. Hoop for at least 10 min. Plan running up to half in April.

HEY GUESS WHAT

Thursday, February 16, 2012

I haven't been tracking. That stops today. Still been doing better I think than before, minus V-Day treats. Overall I think I'm still in good shape to continue on this path of being uber-diligent. I just wasn't. For the past few days. But I'm jumping right back on the wagon!!! I have to! Or else I will never reach that goal.

Also I think I'm gonna do a Vlog of hooping at some point - been motivated by my new Hooping SparkTeam. :)

Week One Roundup - SUCCESS!

Monday, February 13, 2012

So I wasn't perfect - I didn't get in all the cardio I wanted (missed a run due to weather and didn't make up for it by hooping).

BUT! I DID track everything except on my splurge meal day, and I DID do my ST 3x last week.

Result - from 191 to 188.5

No big shocker there. I followed the plan that has always worked for me, and I saw the results I expected to see. WOOHOO! Now to continue that positivity even when the results don't come as quickly as expected... I'm sure it will happen in the future since I'll be closing in on goal quickly (within a couple months).

I just need to remind myself how positive actions will always lead to positive results, even if it takes time or aren't the specific numbercrunching results we want to see. ST will never be BAD for me. Tracking my food and eating healthy is a GOOD thing. (since I'm not overly restrictive or struggling with those kind of tendencies, it's a good thing for ME to do the tracking.) Anyway, you get the drift.
