If you've come back to see how I've been doing on
My plan the answer is:
OK
- Weight: 249 lbs.
This is a 1 pound decrease from last week, but I'm not concerned, because weight loss is a slow process and my changes are not likely to show dramatic results in a week, one way or the other.
- Exercise: 8 walks of 20 minutes each.
This is short of my goal of taking 14 walks, but I am pleased, because that is 8 walks more than I would have done otherwise.
- Diet:
Monday through Friday my plan went very well.
I had breakfast and dinner as I had planned.
On the weekend I skipped breakfast both Saturday and Sunday. I also ate too much for dinner. It's hard for me, when I'm visiting at my Dad's house to eat the way I plan. Seems like those old patterns re-assert themselves very quickly, in that environment.
- Changes:
A vague rule, like drink less caffinated beverages is a hard rule to follow. So, I've come up with a different rule instead:
I will allow myself to drink as many caffinated drinks as I want, as long as I:
-
Drink 64 oz. of water first.
-
Don't drink any caffinated drinks after 4:00 pm.
At the suggestion of another E2 noder, I told a few friends at work about my plan, to have somebody to encourage me and help me to feel a bit more accountable.
