Last Week’s Goal: Work out for 60 total minutes.
Results: 42 minutes. Partial fail! Or partial win, depending on if you’re a glass half full or glass half empty type. Usually I’m a glass half empty type, but since I worked so hard, and actually succeeded at making SOME change, I’m going to go with partial win.
- Friday: 10 minute family dance party in kitchen to Abba. Yeah that’s how we roll.
- Saturday: 10 mins recumbent bike
- Monday: Nothin’
- Tuesday: Nothin’
- Wednesday: Date night. Nothin’
- Thursday: OMG Fit Friday is tomorrow and I’ve only worked out 20 minutes total! 22 minutes recumbent bike.
Total: 42 minutes
42 minutes was way better than 0 minutes, and I can guarantee that I wouldn’t have even done that if not for this little blog!
Next week, I am going to renew this goal:
- Work out 60 total minutes
And add this one:
- Take healthy snacks to work
I get hungry every afternoon around 3:30, and if I don’t have healthy snacks, I head right toward the candy drawer. I usually get something “healthy” like peanuts or trail mix*, but that’s expensive and I know I can do even better for my pocketbook and my waistline with fruit or something from home.
*So, like every day for about 6 months, I was eating this trail mix from Costco, and I was so excited because it was only like 160 calories per package, which I thought was great for as full as it made me feel. I was talking to a co-worker and she mentioned that when she eats it, she splits it into two so she can save calories. I thought, “Geez, what a crazy diet person – it’s only 160 calories.” Then I went and looked at the package. It’s not 160 calories per package. It’s 160 per serving, and there’s 2.5 servings per package! No wonder I’m fat! Every day for about six months, I was unknowingly eating 240 more calories than I thought! :O
The math. I don’t haz it.
