The time has come, once again, to look back on the previous month and look ahead towards the new one! Time to see how I did on my March goals, and to make some new ones for April.
Goals for March:
Food Goal(s)- Continue with the Simply Filling Technique for the entire month of March. This means learning more about listening to my hunger signals! Also, try to stay away from chips, crackers, and oreos, since I keep having mini-binges on these things...
Result: I stayed on the SFT until Monday of this week, when I switched from tracking on ww.com to SparkPeople.com. No regrets so far, I love that I switched it up, and SP is pretty nice! I still prefer the WW Community to the SP one, and at this point, I am still planning to keep my WW membership. I'm just switching it up, which is so much better than giving up, which I will NEVER do again. :-)
I started a personal "No Trigger Foods" challenge for myself a few days ago (You can read more about it on my blogger blog), because I was NOT doing well with the second food goal. 21 days without my trigger foods (foods that I for whatever reason cannot stop eating after one serving, or to satisfaction: oreos, chips, light bread, "healthy" crackers). So far, so good! 15 days left on the challenge!
Exercise Goal(s)- 1200 minutes, plus learn to love morning exercise! No more sleeping in. JUST DO IT. :-)
Result: I did 1205 minutes, so just barely, but I MADE IT, and it wasn't too difficult to fit it in this time. As long as I wake up before work a few times a week to squeeze it in in the mornings, I'm golden with this goal.
Weight Goal- down 3 pounds. I did it in February, I can do it again in March!!!
Result: From my weigh-in on 2/26 to my weigh-in on 3/26, I am down 3.2!!! So, I'd call that success. :-) Tomorrow is my first April weigh-in, so I guess my official April start weight will be from 3/26...
April Goals!!!
Food Goals: Track every day, whether it's on here or on SP. Focus on mostly whole foods. Stick to my NTF Challenge.
Exercise Goals: I'm keeping it at 1200 minutes, probably for the duration of the semester. Also, switch up the workouts, add in more strength and maybe even some flexibility training!
Weight Goal: GET TO GOAL (down 2.8). At least to my current goal weight of 145. I'm still planning to reevaluate things once I get there!
