What worked for me this week:
1. Tracking
– love the technology that is available these days! I downloaded the Ultimate Value Diary Plus app
on my Kindle. So easy to track my food
and points each day. I used 28 of the
extra 49 weekly points you are allowed to use once the daily 28 pts are used
up. I tracked my exercise points, but
set it up not to use them.
I showed my Mom this app and she
downloaded to her iPhone. Hers was even
better because she can use the scan feature to upload info from package bar
codes. So Awesome! I’m too cheap for a
smart phone, so I will keep it on my Kindle.
2. Water,
Water, Water, more Water – I gave up diet soda and milk about 6 months ago, so
all I ever drink these days is water or ice tea. I do have coffee every day and occasionally a
protein shake with coconut milk. But I
really focused this week on drinking lots of the H2O. I know that this is a major vehicle
for weight loss.
3. No
Trigger Foods = No Binges. I know that
I cannot have any sugar or any other simple carbs. If I do, it will trigger a binge and I will
go off program. I have the strength
right now to say ‘NO’.
4. Exercise
–
·
Thurs- Walk/Run (mostly walked) in my hood after
work
·
Fri – swam a mile
·
Sat – 17.5 mile bike
·
Sun – off
·
Mon –off
·
Tues – 35 mins on treadmill – run/walk intervals
every .25 mile.
·
Wed – off
I got 4 days in this week, but I
want this to be more consistent. I need
to focus on my running for the Monster Tri in OMG! 5 weeks. I will not have a problem with the 250 yrd
swim or the 16 mile bike, but then I will have to run a 5k, which I can’t do
now even without the swim and bike. Not
going to stress.... I’ll walk if I have to.
