January Achievements:
Goal: Lose 10 lbs.
Outcome: I started the month at 286.8 and end the month at 285.0. That’s a loss of 1.8 lbs. It’s not 10 lbs.. but it is a loss. The first half of the month I hovered high.. and the last week or so I hovered low. I think I’m heading lower I just need to steer clear of bad meal choices. At the moment, I’m currently down 33 lbs since I started in August.
Goal: Cook at least 1 new recipe a week.
Outcome: Again I think I made it. Last week was a bit of a stretch to call “chilli with kidney beans” a new recipe.. but technically it was new. I had a few duds in there.. and I need to circle around to using more veggies.. but I think this is working out.
Goal: Continue with Ab-Divas */100 and do it daily.
Outcome: RAWR!! I nailed this one. I’m at 31/100 today (I ended up started on Jan 2).
Goal: Do Kinect workout every work-day morning.
Outcome: This is falling down. Right now we have a table in the front room which is blocking hte kinect sensor. I need to get that removed. I still like it.. but I’m frustrated that it doesn’t ever seem to record any of my progress and has me do the same workouts every day.
Goal: Take the stairs at work at least once a day.
Outcome: Everyday that I worked in the office I took the stairs. I shudder to say this.. but I think it’s getting easier.
Goal: Move my wakeup time back 15 minutes.
Outcome: Success! sort of. I moved my wakeup time back… and I’m successfully getting up when the alarm goes off. BUT I also added 30 minutes on the treadmill.. and find that I’m falling asleep on the way home from work. I may need to start going to bed earlier.
Goal: Clean the kitchen floor.
Outcome: FAIL! I’m totally slacking on this. And cleaning the fridge. I think I’ll make this a goal for this weekend and just get it done.
SMART goals are specific, measurable, actionable, realistic and time-sensative.
2010 Goals:
Goal: Lose 30 lbs by May. Starting weight: 286.8
Progress: 1.8 lbs down.. Current weight 285. It’s technically progress.
February Goals:
Lose 10 lbs. I still think this is a reasonable goal. I just know I can do it.. I just need to get it done.
Cook at least 1 new recipe a week. Again, good thing to strive for. This forces me to stretch and try new recipes.
Continue with Ab-Divas */100 and do it daily. Keep doing it.
Do either treadmill or Kinect workout every work-day morning. I think I can alternate these once we clean out the living room.
Stick to C25K. I should be able to complete week 4 by the end of the month.
Take the stairs at work at least once a day. RAWR! I’d love to get to the point where I’m not panting when I get to my office.
Go to bed by NO later than 11:30pm. I need to stop dragging at the end of the day. It’s just too draining. To do that I need more sleep.. and since my mornings are spoken for I need to reign in my evenings.
Clean the kitchen floor and fridge. I just need to get this done. I’m targeting the weekend of 2/5.
