New plan

I have a new plan for this week. I sat down with my husband to figure out a schedule that would work with he so we could workout together at least once during the week I am hoping that coordinating at least one workout will help me create this as a habit. 

Looking for New Challenge

I am struggling mentally right now. I'm not sure why. I need to pull out of it and continually failing these challenges are not helping. I am going to try to find or devise a challenge each week. I need to find a way to build healthier habits. 

Missed

 Today was a disaster. I overate, and I missed my workout because I had to take Noel around from store to store for Halloween decorations for our trunk for tomorrow and had to write a paper for one of my classes (I really need to stop procrastinating my assignments).

I am not going to start over. I am going to give myself grace this time and have tomorrow count as day 5. 

75 Medium Reboot: Day 4

Today was a bit of a struggle. I’m getting tired of eating the same thing for lunch every day. I should have planned at least a little bit if variety. When I woke from my lunch nap (a perk of working from home), I was craving something else. I wasn’t really hungry. I just wanted something other than what I ate before my nap. I ended up grabbing some Spaghetti Os. It was not a good choice, and I have been gassy and bloated ever since. 

The good part of the day is that I accomplished everything else today. My 45 minute workout was on the Gazelle again. I’m ok with that. I just finished my 5 pages. I would have read more if Chad wasn’t waiting for me to turn off the light. The water goal was quite easy again. I drank more than that before my wor dat was done. 

Tomorrow will be better. 

75 Medium Reboot: Day 3

It was another good day today. I mostly stuck t  in my meal plan. The only deviation from it was I had two granola bars instead of and apple with peanut butter. (I swear I will actually eat that apple one of these days.) I haven’t been planning anything after work because while I am working is the time of day that I usually snack the most, and I did end up having a few cookies at the Youth activity tonight. I am saying I did good for the day though because I did not majorly overeat while I sat at my desk. Of course, I drank all of my water. I think I am becoming successful with replacing my snacks with water during the work day. I hopped on the Gazelle for 45 minutes after I got home from the youth activity. It is harder to do later in the evening, but I got it done. I read my 5 pages right after work. There are times that I read more than that, but the chapter was short today. Finally, I took my picture at the end of the day. I’m not sure I’m seeing or feeling any changes, but I haven’t been doing this very long. I need to be more patient. 

75 Medium Reboot: Day 2

Today was not so bad. No one had to go to Urgent Care, so my schedule was fairly normal which made it a bit easier to reach my daily goals. I easily drank a gallon of water by the time I got off work and continued to drink it for the rest of the day. My diet was MUCH better. I did have a caramel apple instead of apple with peanut butter, but it was close. Right? Reading at least 5 pages was really easy. I just did it at the same time Chad was reading for his challenge. I just finished my 45 minutes on the Gazelle because I wanted to get my homework done first. Finally, the picture was done right before I sat down to write this. It was a very successful day in my mind!

75 Medium Reboot: Day 1

 

I have decided that for this reboot I am not going to do intermittent fasting. It is not sustainable because I have almost 6 hours from the time I get up until I was able to eat. Instead, I am making a meal plan to follow up to diner which is on the family calendar and I have less control over. My plan includes foods I know I will like that are healthier than what I have been eating. Other than the change to my diet, everything else is the same. 

Now for today’s report. I was not 100%. It started off good, but my day took an unfortunate turn around 10. Having to spend an hour or two at Urgent Cafe with my husband at the time I am usually having lunch meant we stopped at Wendy’s on the way home for the family. I also was about 4 cups off with my water. I did get an hour on the Gazelle, though, and read more than the 5 pages I’m aiming for per day. I also got my progress picture (as horrible as it is).

I’m not going to take this as a need not count it as the start. I know I would have been better had I not had to take my husband to Urgent Care. I’m am ready for day 2!
