So, yeah. As of this morning, I'm back over 180. This is the opposite of good. I needs me a new plan, so here are my goals for the rest of the summer (subject to change without notice):
1. 3L of water every day, even on weekends.
2. Diet logs. They're a boring pain in the ass, but I need the accountability. Even if no one reads them, if I have to type here afterward that I ate a chocolate paradise pie, I am less likely to actually eat one.
3. Exercise 6-7 times per week (m=minutes):
Saturday - Champions Fit (CF) walk/run, 1-2 hr. bike ride
Sunday - off
Monday - 30m walk/run or precor, 20m stationary bike,
10m swim
Tuesday - sculpting class, CF training walk/run
Wednesday - 30m precor, 20m bike, abs
Thursday - sculpting class
Friday - CF training walk/run, maybe swim
4. Banish the scale. I have decided to weigh monthly instead of weekly. WW Online is going to gripe at me about it, I'm sure, but the scale is killing me softly (with its song....). I am going to put it up in the closet, and I'm not going to take it down till August. I'll do measurements at the same time, and thus (try to) keep what little sanity I have left.
5. Take vitamins. This should have been up with the food & water goals, but I forgot about it until just now and don't feel like renumbering everything.
I'll re-evaluate this in August, taking into account the changes I see on the scale and tape measure. I'll also need to take into account the event schedule--two 40-50 mile bike rides in September and November, and I'd like to find a 5k somewhere in the fall also (I think Champions Fit has a non-competitive one as part of the training).
Like I've said before, I want 45 lbs gone by this time next year, even if it kills me.
