Stats

Well, good news and bad. Good news--I've lost 2 lbs since last Tuesday. Bad news--my weight is still higher than I was on 2/8 (the last time I put a weight on the sidebar). Oh well...I'm putting it up there anyway. Gotta start from where I am, instead of wishing I was where I used to be. If that makes any sense. :)

Workouts were good last week, as mentioned in the last post. The HRM only recorded workouts since Wednesday, though, since that was the first time I used it. According to my SELF challenge log, I worked out 285 minutes (4 hours, 45 minutes)last week, burning 2464 calories. If not for the weekend, food would have been good, too. I really should get out of the habit of jumping off the wagon on weekends, or at least make sure I drink enough water.

I've decided, flying in the face of past challenge experience, to give myself an challenge for the next 4 months. I want to lose 5 lbs. per month through June. That would put me at 165ish mid-year, at an average loss of 1.25 lbs/week. I think I can do it, if I just stay vigilant. That's going to be the key--staying vigilant. It seems that every time I give myself a challenge, the self-sabotage begins. It's long past time to break that pattern, though. We'll see how it goes. I'm off to a good start, anyway.
