Losing Adriane ~ Week 2

Even though I did not meet all of my goals this week, I feel like I have made some progress towards my weight loss.  I did accomplish a little bit of something on all of my goals.  Right now I am chuckling to myself because I can hear my dad tell me, “Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades”.  Despite the fact that I did not complete my goals, I did do a little bit towards them.  I almost met my goals.  :)

So this week I’m going to focus on these goals again:

 

Journal my food intake everyday. 

Maintain 1200 – 1400 calories a day.

Drink only one Coke a day!  (had this one going and blew it on a stressful day!)

Exercise at least five days this week.  (Walking now and hopefully couch to 5k as soon as the ankle can handle it.) 

Continue to eliminate white flour/refined carbohydrates from my diet and replace them with whole wheat/ whole grain carbs.

Drink at least 6 glasses of water a day.

And adding a new one to the list:

• Go to bed by 10:00 – 10:30 PM

I’ve read numerous places  (click here for one article) that enough sleep is imperative to weight loss.  Not to mention…a non-grouchy mom!   The article above says that a body needs at least 7 hours of sleep a night to help with weight loss.  I’ve read some others that 7 and a half.  I can tell you that I do not get that much sleep every night.  So I’m challenging myself to get to bed earlier!

Hopefully, I’ll post next Monday and will have met at least one of these goals for the entire week! 

And before I go, my weight loss/ gain for this week is:

I did not gain or lose any weight this week.

Obviously, I’m not doing enough to shed this weight.  I will definitely have to step it up this week.

And this should help:

I just drank the last Coca-Cola in the house.

Should be an interesting week this week!
