All the food. I ate all the food last week! And it tasted so good! It wouldn’t be so bad if I could eat normal-sized portions, but no! Once I get a taste of something yummy, I have to keep going until it’s ALLLLL GONEEEE!!!

Another issue I have – booze! I like to have a couple drinks every night to wind down and relieve stress! Especially now that it’s getting hot out, a cold beer or a vodka/soda is just so refreshing. But, it leads to many more calories consumed and it also makes me eat more. When I’m drinking, I have very little regard for my health, so I tend to order delivery food or make a quick run to the store for some ice cream.

So this week, I’m resetting! I’m back to eating well and exercising. I need to get this show back on the road!

So this week a couple of firsts happened:
1. I posted “before” photos of myself online and on social media
2. I got more than 35,000 steps in a M-F Workweek Hustle Challenge
3. I set goals and crushed them!

I’ve joined quite a few Workweek Hustle Challenges through Fitbit, which I find I either crush and wind up in the top few spots, or I totally slack off and DGAF if I fail. haha! But this week was really good. I set a goal through my Fitbit that I would take 250 steps an hour for 9 hours a day (6 am-2 pm). For the first time, I met this goal twice last week! And the other days, I met the 250 steps/hour goal for at least 7/9 hours.

Some of my other personal goals include:
– Lose 12 lbs a month
– 3 days/week of cardio workouts of at least 30 minutes
– 3 days/week of walking the dogs at least 2 miles
– Stick to 1,500 calories at day with 1 cheat meal
– Drink alcohol only 2 days/week

Last week, I only lost 2.6 lbs when I was on track to lost 7-8. I know that’s a lot of pounds in one week, but I was doing really well and losing a lot of water weight. Thennnnn came the weekend! I totally lost it this weekend. I’m still happy with the 2.6 lbs and I’m striving to stay positive and kill my goals this week. I want to get at least 8,000 steps a day (up from 7,000 last week) and get at least 39,000 steps this week M-F.

Also, the weather this week is supposed to be SUPPPPER nice (in the 70s and 80s), so I’m looking forward to walking the boys a lot! They love adventures and I love walking them. I’ve been a lot better at walking at a high cardio pace instead of leisurely stroll and I love seeing them zoom around and be happy. It’s a win-win!
