Week #1 Goals
- 64 oz of water
- 8oz of Dt. Dr. Pepper per day (or less)
- 2 hours of excercise (taking it pretty easy at first and building up to harder exercises; not necessarily all at one time either.)
- No more than 1,200 calories per day
- No corn products
- Fruit and veggie snacks only
Day 1: All goals met!
Day 2: I worked and had band practice today so I had limited time. I did stand all day at the school where I worked so I hope that makes up for only doing the bike for 7 miles which took me a half hour. Everything else I met!
Day 3: A bit frustrated with myself for not making the time to work out like I wanted. Going to try to do an extra hour tomorrow. Still keeping the other goals.
Day 4: I was proud of myself at my favorite restaurant, Macados. I ordered a vegetable laden quesadilla (of which I only ate a quarter) and boneless buffalo wings. Later Alpheus wanted to order pizza for our family movie night. To be kind he ordered my least favorite brand. I did have one piece of chicken pizza because it smelled so good, but I didn't eat the crust. I can't download my food to get a calorie count because Sparkpeople is down, but I think I stayed pretty close to my limit. I was tickled to get the full two hours in at the gym. I was too tired to do more, but I work tomorrow at school so I plan to do a lot of aisle walking. :)
Day 5: Only half my water for the day and not any exercise. I was in the most mentally and physically challenging class ever and decided to go for rest instead since the band had to play at 6:00.
Day 6: Spending the day with my sick girls. Too much soda and not enough water. Cleaned house for a couple of hours will have to count as exercise today.
Day 7: Official weigh-in day and I have lost 8 pounds. Feeling very glad, but also very determined to do better this coming week at drinking my water and getting in my exercise! Still have four coughing girls. :(
For those moments of victory this week over my flesh I give all praise to God!

Way to go! Not easy, especially with the sick girls. I was looking at being 164, but a McD's splurge night sent me 0.4 in the other direction! No more of that until Father's Day...hoping for 160 by then!
