Last week, I didn’t do as well with my goals as I did the previous week. While I did walk my mile most days (I missed a couple), I didn’t do any running. Truth be told, I’m a little afraid to. I also added an extra day of not staying within my calorie limit and eating sugar. But, I did keep up with my spiritual health goals and for that, I’m proud of myself, since it has been very hard to do lately.

This week, I plan to:

1. Walk a mile every other day, just walking. On the other days, I’ll walk for a minute and a half and run for 30 seconds, in intervals. Next week, I’ll increase the run time.
2. Stay within my calorie limit (1,440 calories) each day–no excuses and no “free” days.
3. Eat no processed sugar–no excuses and no “free” days.
4. Add more vegetables to my diet again. (For a while, I do really well with eating lots of veggies and then I slowly move back to eating more whole grains than veggies. It’s not as bad as it could be, but I still need to focus on those veggies more!)
5. Continue with getting healthy spiritually–for this week, this includes reading my scriptures, going to church on Sunday, and attending our youth activity tonight.

Last week, I did pretty good with my goals. Although, I can’t say that I achieved the “every day” thing. We celebrated my birthday on Saturday, so I indulged a little bit that day. But, other than that, I did accomplish each of my goals. I’m also down 2.6 lbs. from last week, but I’m still losing the weight I “gained” when I was sick.

This week, I plan to:

1. Go on a mile-walk every day while running part of it. It’s my plan to run a marathon before I turn 40 (in six years), so I’m going to start out slow as I’m not a runner. (If Mother Nature decides to grace us with winter weather again, I’ll walk the mile on my treadmill.)
2. Stay within my calorie limit (1,440 calories) each day. I may go over a little on Thursday and Saturday, but I’m making a plan to not go over by more than 500 calories on those days, so that I still make healthy choices.
3. Eat no processed sugar, except on Thursday (my real birthday) and Saturday (when I go out to eat with friends for my birthday) when I eat a small treat.
4. Continue with getting healthy spiritually–for this week, this includes reading my scriptures, going to church on Sunday, and attending our youth activity tonight. (I’m one of the leaders for the youth in my church, so I should be there anyway but that and going to church have been a little difficult for me lately. I’m going to break out of the funk, though.)

I’ve decided to join in Readers’ Workouts, a meme hosted by Joy at Joy’s Book Blog. Readers’ Workouts allows book bloggers to report their exercise progress for the previous week and make goals for the upcoming week. I thought it’d be fun to join in since I’m trying to lose weight and progress on my own journey to becoming healthy.

I haven’t made much progress this past week. I still wasn’t feeling up to snuff from being sick with bronchitis. And, it took Corey and I longer than expected to go shopping, so my eating choices weren’t as healthy as I would’ve liked last week. Now that our house is stocked with healthy choices again, however, I’m ready to go and continue this weight loss/getting healthy journey of mine.

Here are my goals for the next week:

1. Go on a mile-walk every day. (If Mother Nature decides to grace us with winter weather again, I’ll walk the mile on my treadmill.)
2. Stay within my calorie limit (1,440 calories) each day.
3. Eat no processed sugar.
4. And, because my getting healthy journey includes getting healthy spiritually not just physically, I’m going to also commit to reading my scriptures each day. I’ve had trouble with that recently.
