Goal check #1

So I wanted to do a goal check today to see how I'm doing. I think I should do this weekly? I mean why make new years resolutions if you just forget about them until December and then say, oh well, next year...

So, here they are again!

#1-eat 3 servings of vegetables a day--I have been trying to eat more vegetables each day but I'm not sure I am getting three every day. So I will be more committed to writing that down this week.

#2-Do cardio exercise 30 minutes a day 3 times a week--Well, I did the elliptical for 30 min. and went on a 45 min walk later on Saturday but that was really the first long workout(s) I did this year. I know, it's sad, but that's why we make goals. They are supposed to be something we need to work towards. So this week, I will try and workout 2 X for 30 min to try and get up to my goal of 3x a week.

#3-Obtain a healthy BMI (18.5-24.9--currently: 25.7) No change here. I think this goal can only be accomplished by doing the previous two goals (and other stuff but don't worry I know that)

So here's to a new week of exercise and eating right!

Push-ups

I just did 15 push ups! My arms are burning but it felt great! Now, if only I could do that on a more regular basis haha

Wii fit

The Hubs and I recently bought a Wii with the Wii fit and a bunch of other fitness games. I did my first trial run today and thought it was pretty fun. I wasn't very motivated though. Tomorrow I want to try something a little more upbeat.

Also, I did a weight check today: 151

I also did a measurement check and I am up 1/2 inch overall.

So what that means is that I am not gaining weight but I'm getting fluffy! Time to step up the workouts!

weight check, 2010 goal re-cap

Ok, well I did a weight check this morning and I was 150 lbs. Not too bad but not too great either. I am proud to say that I didn't gain a lot of weight during the holidays, only 1 pound! Last year I gained 8.5 pounds! Wow! I was definitely not in control. So, re-cap for 2010 goals:

#1-Short-term goal-lose 10 lbs by Hannah's first birthday, August 24 (then I'll be at my pre-preg weight) (not complete)
#2-Lose another 10 lbs by October 31st (not complete)
#3-Lose 5 more lbs by the end of the year totaling 25 lbs (not complete)
#4-Do some form of exercise each day, at least 20 minutes (biking, running, walking, etc) (semi-complete)
#5-Cut down on sweets. This one is really hard for me. I don't know how to set limits for candy/sweets eating so if anyone has any good ideas let me know! : ) (semi-complete--I had my days but I have been much more aware of what I'm eating and I'm trying to not be so crazy)

So...2010 wasn't such a great year for weight loss. This year my goals are going to start out differently. I want to concentrate more on exercise and eating well and not necessarily weight loss. The goals for 2011 are:

#1-Eat 3 servings of vegetables a day.
#2-Do cardio exercise 30 minutes a day 3 times a week.
#3-Obtain a healthy BMI (18.5-24.9--currently: 25.7)

Go good luck with your goals and hopefully I can attain mine! Luckily I have all year to work on them!
