If I dared set foot on the scale before this week, I'd usually see a similar result in the opposite direction. I want no more of that! I worked out on the treadmill 4 times this past week, but only between 20-30 minutes each time. I think 4 days is maintainable for this, but I'd like to increase that time to 30-40 minutes and increase the intensity of those workouts. That's something to work on for the week ahead!
I also plan to throw in a P90X DVD here and there for some strength exercises. The shoulders and arms workouts used to be one of my favorites. I remember having a hard time lifting my arm to brush my hair when I got done with one of those workouts! It's time to do that again!
Also on the menu this week, or rather what needs to come off the menu this week...carbs! I did a better job this first week of not snacking, but I still had far too many carbs at meals. Last night, we also got my favorite takeout for dinner which I knew I would regret this morning, but it was delicious and made me feel better after one heck of a stressful week. I can live with that!I'm working on drinking more water during the day, something I generally have a problem with. I like my morning coffee and a Pepsi Max with dinner, but often there's not much in between. Last week, I made a trip for over 40 gallons of spring water, so I have no reason not to be drinking lots and lots of water!
I'm going to end this week's progress report with another old picture of me. This was taken at my daughter's first birthday party during my Atkin's phase. I was 5 pounds from my goal weight at the time and sporting a brand new size 2 skirt. I felt great!
With warmer temps right around the corner, I'm going to want to wear that skirt again! I'm going to make sure it fits this year!
How did you do last week? Any victories on or off the scale?
