But let's call this Week 1, and treat the last 3 weeks as practice.
Here are the highs and lows of the last 3 weeks:
THE GOOD
- I've done a great job of scheduling and then sticking to my workouts.
- Using my ClassPass membership, I've tried some different things! I tried a spin class, and have even gone to a few yoga classes (besides the usual Restorative yoga). Yoga was particularly intimidating, because I've lost so much flexibility in the last few years. But I sucked it up and went to a Corepower C1 class - I'm proud of that!
- I've been really good about eating smaller and healthier portions for breakfast and lunch
- I picked up a book about binging, which contained some useful (if somewhat silly) tips.
- I've kept a positive attitude by celebrating my wins and not getting derailed by a singular failure.
- I've taken advantage of good weather to get outside for my workouts, and was even able to fit in a good hike with Redford.
- I've been cooking more healthy meals at home.
THE BAD
- Dinner and evening binging remain a problem. My will power seems to shut down toward the end of the day. It's especially bad if I need to take a sleep aid, which gives me an acute case of the Munchies.
- I've had some health setbacks - a brief bout with the flu, a minor sinus infection, and the Great Staph Debacle of 2017. I missed some workouts because of this nonsense.
- I've set goals to eat <1600 cal per day, but that's been really hard to stick to. Again, dinner and snacks seem to give me the most trouble.
Definitely some lessons learned from the last 3 weeks!
