The Weigh In:
Goal check in:
Work out every day:
Worked out 6 days
I accomplished this 5 days!
Keep Food Journal and adhere to Weight Watchers Points:
Still couldn't get this going. Fail.
Analysis:
I'm happy to see that my weight is down a little bit, however looking at the last 3 weeks, I think what it's telling me is that my weight is staying relatively the same. Fluctuations of under a pound up or down doesn't really mean much unless it it consistently goes in the same direction.
I've found that it's very difficult to motivate myself to keep a food journal by myself. The times where I've successfully done this was when my wife and I have done it together. Fortunately, out of the blue Vonnie said that after this week she wants to really get back on the fitness train as well – including keeping a food journal. So, I'm suspending that goal for a week, and will re-evaluate next week when Vonnie and I are planning on doing it together!
That being said, I did pay much more attention to what I ate this week, and I think between that and my high level of exercise my body finally reached a state where it had no choice but to lose weight.
This next week is going to be very hard. Between Thanksgiving, and the fact that our good friends that moved to Kentucky are coming to visit this week, staying motivated to eat right and maintain my exercise routine is going to be extremely difficult.
Goals for next week:
Maintain exercise routine of working out every day (this is going to be tough)
Increase chest press ending set max to 245lbs.
I can't even come up with a tangible goal for keeping my eating under control. I'm going to be very mindful of portion sizes, and not going back for seconds.
Do you have any suggestions on how to ensure you eat well when you're thrown off your routine?
