Successes
- Weight: 293 lbs (-7)
- BMI: 42 (-1)
- Worked out 5 out of 7 days
- Walked/Jogged Approximately 2-3 miles each time
- Attempted the Elliptical Machine (only lasted 3 minutes...better than the 2 minutes the last time I tried it)
- Drank no alcohol (although I don't get drunk...the absolute no drinking of alcohol is very hard...but I will have alcohol on my 30th birthday....in moderation, hopefully)
- Incorporated small snacks back into my meal plan (yogurt, fruit, fiber bars, etc.)
Failures
- Ate after 7pm twice (although small amounts still ate)
- Had sushi twice with tempura shrimp (fried) although it wasn't straight grease, still was fried
- Did not push myself when I know I felt comfortable in my workouts, I think I could have jogged more and some days could have gone for longer times.
Goals for Next Week
- Walk 3 miles each workout in 45 minutes or less
- Increase elliptical machine time to 5 minutes
- Absolutely no fried foods
- Start putting weight training into my workout (I hate weights almost as much as I hate the elliptical machine).
I can confidently say I can walk the 5K at a reasonable speed without passing out so by October I just have to increase it to a run...YES I CAN!!!!
