Fabulous Friday

Time for my weekly check in yet again.

This week I attempted to do something completely different. I left Wii Fit alone and just did the old Turbo Jam DVD I had. It's been awhile. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I did the Turbo Sculpt 40 minute strength training, plus a LOT of outside work. I didn't do any stretching really besides what little was on the DVD. Tuesday I did the 20 minute aerobic workout, and Thursday I did a LOT of walking around town. My eating is... OK. I'm still addicted to sugar, I'm just trying to eat less of it. I bought another dark chocolate bar (70%+ cocoa solids) and I'm limiting myself to one square a day (which is 37 calories). It helps stem my cravings... a little.

I've decided I'm gonna have one 'cheat' day per week. This is the day I won't worry about exercise (if I do something, great) or what I'll eat. I'll try to eat clean the rest of the week. I'm thinking I might make Sundays or Saturdays my cheat day. It'll be hard to pick just one.

I saw on a friend's blog that she's trying to do 100 push ups and sit ups in a row... a challenge of sorts. I'm going to look into this more and see if I can try for it. I should... it might be fun. Plus, it's a goal! One goal I really want to meet is to be able to touch my toes... let's put that in for now!

New Goal: Touch my toes - started on June 26, 2009, met on (date)

We'll see how this goes!

Here is my goal recap from last week:
Did I: Servings to meet: 2 fruit, 4+veggies, 5 grains, 2 meat (at least 2/week fish), 2 dairy, less than 1 other
Note: Did really well on this. My other came out to most days being only 1 or less servings. I think I want to have one ‘cheat’ day in my schedule… otherwise my goals will seem insurmountable. Sigh.
Did I: Workout at least ½ hour/day. Do strength training at least 3 times/week, aerobics daily, stretching/yoga daily,
Note: Didn’t do the yoga daily, but did the strength and aerobics
Did I: Work outside a few hours.
Note: Yup
Did I: Lose an inch.
Note: Lost ½ an inch

New Measurements
29” - narrowest part/waist
35.5” - across my belly and love handles
40” - on my butt and hips.
35” - on my chest
22” - right thigh
137lbs - weight
lost ½ inch, lost 1lb

I'm just glad I didn't gain any inches. The weight I'm not overly concerned, as it fluctuates around the same values, so that is OK, but the inches... I'm hoping to lose more. Total lost in the last three weeks is about 2.5 inches... none really in the belly area which is my trouble spot. That is where I WANT to lose the inches. Ah well, I've got a number of weeks to go.

I'm really hoping to tone up.
