So let’s get right to it! January goals:
1. Track Every Bite. This one was easy! I had no problem whatsoever with this! Done and done...every day every bite!
2. Build my Savings. Also a victory. It is slowly recouping after the purchase of the car...so I’m feeling better about my savings...but I will be continuing to save!
3. Weigh less at the end of the month (who cares how much as long as it is less!) I didn’t think I was going to make this one....but due to my change in plans and my recommitment to this journey (thanks to the new plan) I nailed this one!
4. Be active at least 3 times a week (This may be bumped up to 4 in an upcoming month). Victory!!!! Oh I was on fire! At least three times a week...and most weeks four or five times a week! No problem!
5. Keep my eating in check at least 6 days of the week! This is where I fell apart. The first part of the month I stayed ‘close’ to my goal...but not so much...maybe 4 days a week I was on target (at the top end of my range). So the first part of the month was a colossal failure! The second part of the month...after I made my change...spot on!!!
6. Average 5,000 steps a day! this was no problem! I made my average of five thousand steps easily! Thanks to the long hikes on the weekends. However, when I reviewed the stats I see that it really is the hikes...most weekdays I did not hit 5k steps! So while I am happy I made my goal, I am going to try to focus more on getting my steps up each day!
So there you have it! My goals....I love the monthly goals because it is the time to reflect and see what went wrong and what I did well. (For example the steps...where I made my goal but I identified a weakness that I need to correct!).
I’m sure your asking what is on tap for February! I have for many months kept my goals the same...but in February I need to alter and adjust. Some of this is to accommodate the change in my weight loss plan. But also there is a need to grow and push myself..
1. Track Every Bite
2. Build my Savings
3. Weigh less at the end of the month (who cares how much as long as it is less!)
4. Be active at least 20 minutes four times a week!
5. Keep my eating in check at least 6 days of the week (Allowing one cheat meal) and never never never go over my limit in weekly points in a week! (And currently I am not swapping and using my fit points!)
6. Average 5,000 steps a day! (While this is still an average, I will be looking more closely at my daily totals to try to avoid the hikes carrying the rest of my slacker days!
I can do this!!!
