Weekly Goals



Don't forget to enter the GIVE AWAY ABOVE! You Have Until Friday!! :)

Last week I was having a hard time with my calorie reduction. I started feeling really down and tired. When I finally increased it at the end of the week, I felt more alive. SOO weird! I'm trying really hard to find that balance and today I feel like I'm on the right track. I'm still going to aim for 1300 calories a day, but allow for 1500 even 1600 when I need. Today I'm on track for 1300 and don't feel at all hungry.

I brought cantaloupe and carrots and clementines for snacks, instead of crackers and nuts that have higher calories.

Dinner I made Chicken Parmigiana with olives. YUM AND I still have calories left for a piece of Apple pie and glass of milk :)

The weekend was very mild so I was able to get a LONG walk in. I can't wait for spring to get my jogs/walks back on track.


Here are my weekly goals:

* 5 days a week of home cooking ;) (I'm doing really well with this goal)
* Limit carb intake at dinner.
* Limit Sweets, use 3 bite rule
* No FRENCH FRIES (yes, I still need a reminder for this
* Cut coffee as much as possible and replace with Green Tea (coffee has crept back in ugh!)
* 3 days a week basement work out (Jillian Michaels 30 day shred video)
* 3 days a week 10000 steps on the pedometer
* loofah body scrub to enhance circulation (my skin is becoming verrry soft :)

  5. I've been doing the coffee v. tea struggle since the New Year! So far, tea has been my go-to, but I'm missing coffee terribly !

  6. Good work! I try with the coffee but I can only handle one thing at a time. At least that's the excuse I have for not trying any more!

  7. Those are great goals! I need a reminder not to eat ice cream at night, but sometimes I forget. Also, I could eat canteloupe for every snack everyday! I love it!
