Week 3 with an *

I'm recording Week 3 results with an asterisks because it is only 4 days worth of data, not 6.  In addition to taking a BMB break on Sunday, I also took breaks on Wednesday and Friday.   I've been fighting a cold since Tuesday night and I felt it was better to take care of myself rather than to try to break any records.  But, I really did give it my all when I was not sick, so I really wanted to see my results.  I accomplished all of my mini goals:

1. Park my car further out - not 'way far' out, but not 'the open spot closest to the entrance' I used to grab at work.  I go in early too, so there is always a close spot.

2. Use my Stand-Up desk - finally used it!  Well, for 2 days anyways.  I worked while standing up from 10am-3pm, with a 1/2 lunch break... yes I sat down in my company cafeteria.

 

 

3. Spend a little bit more time with my workouts - Yes, I did this!  I increased my physical activity and steps big time this week by adding in an additional walking session with my husband in the evenings.  This has been a lot of fun and we even got lost in a neighboring community and I had to use my iPhone to map us out.  Too funny!

 

4. Plan my meals to incorporate more protein - I was able to bring my protein up to 82 grams per day, but still not at my goal of 90.  Also, my carbs are creeping up a bit, so I really want to dial that back down just to see how it will impact weight loss.  I've still been in Nutritional Ketosis.

My sleep has really suffered this week.  The days I did not record were some really bad sleep days - the worst being 5hrs with a 61% sleep efficiency.   I made it a point last night to get a really good night sleep, and I did.  I went to bed at 8:15pm and got up at 8:20am - 12 hrs. in bed and over 10hrs in deep sleep.   Oh, I need that!

 

So today is a new week.  I'm still going to take it easy today, but I should have a solid week 4.  I need to get some running in because my next event (5k) is just 2 weeks away!  Here's to getting healthy!
