DAY 98 of 365
Average is the new great – or so I wished looking back at this week.
If I were honest with myself, I’d probably grade the past seven days with a solid “B” to ”B-”.
Nutrition
Well, it certainly wasn’t as bad as it could have been. With my Mom visiting from across the country, we ate out quite a bit more than usual. All of our meals at home, however, were 100% healthy. And although I didn’t make it easy on myself while eating out, I didn’t entirely kill my progress either. I made good choices where I could.
It was also Kara’s 4th birthday this past week, so I had cupcakes tempting me ALL WEEK (from multiple parties). I held out until Friday afternoon, when everything went out the window for a few hours. Other than that major slip, it was a decent week.
Exercise
Ehhhhh. Weak? I don’t know.
It feels like I didn’t push very much, but looking back, I lifted (intensely) twice, tried a new kettlebell cardio workout one night, played softball for 2 hours on Saturday night, and will end with intervals on the treadmill tonight. Not bad in a week’s time, I guess, but not as I had scheduled it either. I expect more.
Activity
Very decent. We were out and about a lot with the girls. At the birthday party I was jumping around the different bounce zone toys with the kids and definitely working up a sweat. Softball was great last night, especially considering we won 28-2. I was running quite a bit.
So another weigh-in tomorrow as the weeks continue to fly by. Almost 100 days into my project, and I should close out my inaugural start with a loss of about 27 pounds overall. Not overwhelming, but certainly making a big difference in my health, in the way my clothes fit, and in my appearance. People have begun to notice. That is always nice.
