One Step at a Time Challenge
Week Five
Well, back on the wagon! Last week I did pretty good. Still not as awesome as I had hoped and dreamed but I'll take what I can get at this point. I'm finding it extreamly difficult to track my food and excersize even though I know it is good for me. I feel like I've been eating pretty good. I've been eating more fruits. I still need to improve on the veggie intake. I guess I didn't realize how full I get when I eat everything I'm supposed to. I don't have any room for junk food!
Week Four
I definately fell off the wagon last week but it's right back up this week! Last week I did not work out once. Yeah, I know, it's pretty bad when I can't even workout during a fitness challenge but you know that excuse "I'm so busy". It actually went right along with the tips!
This week I'm going to do a LOT better. I promise. I'm going to bring my lunch to work and workout at least 4 times... that's my goal. I think once hockey is over I'll have more time and energy to workout after work.

Week Three
I did really pretty poorly this week for what my goals are. This is where I'm running into problems when I've tried to do a regular workout program before too! For example, I live in Morgan so I'm pretty sure that I won't be able to get my butt out of bed that early in the morning to work out. Then, this week I think there was one night that I got home before 8pm. Needless to say, I only got 2 workouts in this week. :(
But, it's a new week and I'm going to get back on track. I still did pretty good on bringing lunch and eating breakfast and I'm finding it's saving me a bunch of money! We were talking at work and saying that we should do what smokers try to do when they quit smoking; put $5 away every time we bring lunch instead of eating out! Man, I'd be a rich woman then!
This week is another busy week. Away hockey games Monday and Tuesday, a get-together on Thursday, and friends coming to town over the weekend. So, this week's challenge will be the same as last and hopefully I can do better this week!!

Week Two
Well, on a scale of 1 to 10 I would say I did about a 7 this week. I achieved most of my goals except the three cardio workouts. I did two strength workouts and two cardio workouts. But I'm sore and it feels great!! I can feel an improvement already!
On Friday I ran into Polly at the fitness center and she helped me layout a weight-lifting plan. She helped me with proper form and helped me develop a total body workout. It includes both free weights and machines. I've been really bad at journaling (keeping track of my workouts and food intake) so I asked Polly if I could just leave my sheet at the RACC and that seems to be working really well. At least then I don't have to worry about forgeting it!
I'm ready for a new week and to stay on track!

Week One
Well, I guess I'm about as unhealthy as I thought I was. I found the assessment to be really interesting. I know a lot of people don't want to share that kind of information but I think I need to so I can be held accountable! Below is my assessment. If you haven't ever seen one before (like myself) it's very informative. It does a good job of explaining things in lame terms as well. I have a lot of goals that I need to work on over these six weeks! Now that the extreme over indulging is done, I can get started.
My goals for this week are:
Bring lunch to work.
Eat three meals a day and two snacks.
Do two strength training workouts.
Do three cardio workouts.
That sounds a little over ambitious for my tastes but it's the first week so maybe I can get a jumpstart!
