Fitness Fridays

Checking in on last week's goals...

Nutrition Goal: Water, water everywhere. I want to drink at least 8 cups/64 oz each day, but 100 oz a day would be ideal.

Activity Goal: 3 Couch to 5K workouts, one other workout - yoga, perhaps? I miss yoga.

I didn't even focus on the nutrition goal until Monday, which makes me think that Fridays as my check-in day/start day just won't work for me. I find it much easier to start a goal like that on a Sunday or Monday, so starting next week I will write up my fitness check-ins on Sunday and do the Project 52 posts on Friday. It's all mental, yo.

So! Water. Yeah, not so great. I probably hit my goal a few days, but I KNOW I am capable of doing better. One smart thing that I should do is keep taking water breaks with Bella. She thinks it's fun to stop what we are doing to chug water and if I do it with her enough, she will start prompting me to take them. Good for both of us.

I did great with activity. Exercised 5 times: 3 couch-to-5Ks, one elliptical, and one fake-o bike workout.

Other thoughts - I do find that making the small changes helps me to make positive changes across the board. My eating overall has improved and I'm pushing my intensity during workouts even when I don't "have" to. So that's good stuff.

Next week's goals...

Nutrition Goal: Track everything I'm eating and drinking in photos. I'm doing that week-in-the-life anyway, so this won't be too tough. I'll share the link for a blog featuring all the food stuff on Monday when I start. The point of this will be to give myself an accurate picture of how and what I'm eating and to pinpoint what needs tweaking. Plus force some mindful eating on myself. Also, I would also like to hit that water goal each day and go back to no dairy in my coffee.

Exercise Goal: 3 Couch-to-5Ks and get my butt to one yoga class.
