June 1st Already...

I don’t know about you but for me, life just seems to happen way to fast. I can’t believe it is already June 1^st.  Seems like the older I get, the faster time flies by. I’d like to know how to slow down the weekends and speed up the work days. I think it’s all about being busy….

 

I really was hoping that by this time I would be at my goal weight. Really, I should be. There is no excuse not to be. If I was actually being strict and eating as clean as I possibly could, I would be at my goal weight. It is 80/20 you know – and I’m probably only 50% good on the food. Weekends are the worse. I don’t eat enough and when I do, I eat the wrong things. AND I drink beer. I’ve got to make some decisions and stick to them.

 

I walk as much as I can. Helps that I don’t have a vehicle and need to take the bus to the train station and then off to work. I walk from home to the train station at least twice a week – it takes me about 30 minutes so depending on the time I leave the house, and what is going on at work, if I walk or not. Then at lunch at work, I try to walk at least 3 times a week for about 30 minutes – or at least that is what I’m about to start this week. I sent out a note to my entire floor stating “meet in the lobby at 11:30 for a lunch time walk” so guess since I started it, I should at least show up. Then I’m learning to run at least 3 times a week, sometimes indoors on the treadmill, at least twice outside (starting next week as my running partner isn’t around this week and I won’t run outside on my own… safety in numbers around here). And this week I’m starting the CLX strength training 3 x week.

 

But all that exercise won’t do my weight loss much good if I don’t eat properly. I need to feed it properly to support my workouts and to help me in losing these extra pounds. Besides as I lose weight, running will become easier as I’m not loading extra lbs on my feet.

 

So what am going to do about the food thing:

1.       Log all my food in my FitDay application

2.       Eat clean Sunday to Friday – saving Saturday for a “cheat” meal and only a meal, not the entire day!!!!!

3.       No alcohol during the week – date night – drink soda water with lemon….

 

Goals for the Month:

                Complete Burn phase of CLX – 3 x week.

                Run  7:1x3 by June 26^th

                Lose 5 lbs – (189 this morning – Yuck)

 

Goals for this week:

                Complete 3 ST

                Run/walk 3 x

                Walk dog 5 x (this one’s easy as she loves it as much as I do)

                Eat clean (this one is the challenge).

 

Be honest with myself and journal absolutely EVERYTHING that goes into my mouth and have a good hard look at the results at the end of the week. I need to wake up and smell the roses to get this weight off and I’m the only one that can do it.
