No measurements again this week. It’s interesting how much attending a work conference can set you back not only at work (because you have to catch up on all the work you missed) and in your personal life. I have been so physically and emotionally exhausted to the point that I relapsed into being sick over the weekend. Thankfully, I’m doing better now. There has been some “damage” to my weight loss because of the last couple of weeks, but I’m sure it’ll come off quickly as I get back into the swing of things this week.

Weight

Weight: 233.2 lbs. (+4 lbs.)

Weekly Goals

Here are my goals for the upcoming week:

1. Walk a mile on Thursday, Sunday, Tuesday.
2. Walk/run a mile today, Friday, Saturday, and Monday. I’ll walk for a minute and a half and run for 30 seconds, in intervals.
3. Stay within my calorie limit (1,440 calories) each day and eat no processed sugar. I’ve come up with a meal plan for each day not only to help me with staying within my calorie limit but to help Corey and I stay within our food budget as well. These meal plans include one green juice each day because I know it’ll help me be healthier.
4. Eat more veggies!
5. Go to bed by 10:00 pm and stop using all electronics by 7:30 pm. I’ve been slacking on this and I’ve noticed a huge difference in how I feel both physically and emotionally.
6. Read my scriptures each day, go to church on Sunday, and go to my youth activity on Tuesday.

No weight or measurements this week. I’ve been too busy with my work conference to take the time to do this. Plus, I’ve had a hard week for other reasons and I think measuring would be kind of pointless.

I was sick for most of the week with a horrible intestinal bug. I couldn’t eat anything but a little bit of soup and saltine crackers. And, I couldn’t drink anything but a little bit of Gatorade. And, none of that stayed in my body for very long anyway. Of course, because I was getting nowhere near my calorie limit, my body thought I was going into starvation mode and held onto my weight. *sigh* And, with how sick I was, I couldn’t exercise. But, I did get an awesome day of exercise in on Tuesday last week. So, I did have one success at least.

And, to top it off, Aunt Flo decided to come early. *another sigh* Oh, and eating healthy at my conference is proving more difficult than I thought it’d be. There are hardly any fruits and/or veggies. *bigger sigh*

Weekly Goals

My work conference goes through Thursday, so I’m splitting my goals into two parts again.

Wednesday and Thursday:

1. Walk a mile on Wednesday and Thursday.
2. Make healthier choices with my food options (if I can).
3. Read my scriptures each day.

Friday – Sunday:

1. Walk a mile Saturday and Sunday.
2. Walk/run a mile Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. (I’ll walk for a minute and a half and run for 30 seconds, in intervals.)
3. Stay within my calorie limit (1,440 calories) each day and eat no processed sugar. (Come up with a meal plan for Saturday and Sunday.)
4. Eat more veggies!
5. Read my scriptures each day, go to church on Sunday, and go to my youth activity on Tuesday.

The last time I posted a Weigh-In Wednesday, it was January. I’ve decided I’m going to start them up again rather than participate in Readers’ Workouts. I feel like my Weigh-In Wednesday posts give me more accountability and I can see the results of what I’m doing. As part of my posts, however, I’ll continue to make weekly goals because that has been helpful.

Weekly Goals

I have a work conference starting on Monday that will limit my food choices. I’m not too happy about it. But, what can you do? Anyway, because of this conference, I’m splitting my goals into two parts this week.

Wednesday – Sunday:

1. Walk a mile Thursday and Sunday.
2. Walk/run a mile today, Friday, and Saturday. (I’ll walk for a minute and a half and run for 30 seconds, in intervals.)
3. Stay within my calorie limit (1,440 calories) each day and eat no processed sugar. (Come up with a meal plan for Saturday and Sunday because I have a harder time on the weekends since my days are less structured.)
4. Eat more veggies!
5. Read my scriptures each day and go to church on Sunday.

Monday and Tuesday:

1. Walk a mile on Monday and Tuesday.
2. Make healthier choices with my food options, including not eating any of the sweets offered at the conference.
3. Read my scriptures each day. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend my youth activity this week.
