On a Mission

Last week I posted about how I was going to get back on track.  I weighed myself Monday morning.. at a big ole 217.2  Not at all happy where it was.. but then again happy that it was not my highest weight (226)

I also made a decision that with all the apps that I have on my phone.. I needed to hand write them down.  I had ordered this small Uncalendar at the beginning of the year.. and realized that I really wanted the bigger one for my school stuff. Now.. if you know me.. I LOVE using my devices, but I have found that no matter what app or device I have.. I prefer to go back to pen and paper for my lists, and the Uncalendar is PERFECT!


Anyway.. I pulled out my Uncalendar and printed off my blog from last week and glued it in.  I added my weight to it (217.2) and set up 4 goals for myself this week:
1. Walk 2 mornings
2. Walk 3 evenings
3. 2 days strength training
4. Finish 1 Book

Well.. goals 1-3 didn't happen.. but I DID finish a book (ok, so it was a picture book.. but I finished it.. and I started another!)

What I did do though.. I made sure to take A TON of extra steps in school.  I ate way less portions of meals.  I drank a ton of water (and I do mean a ton.. each morning I stop at Sonic and get a Rt. 44 water with lemon. Great way to start my day with the best ice.. and Styrofoam cup)  Biggest accomplishment.. I cut way back on my soda intake.  I mean.. I went 3 different days without even batting an eye at not having a soda.  I also packed my own breakfast every morning.. and almost every day packed my lunch.

Weighed in this morning.. and I am 212.8... what the what.. that is 4.4 pounds! Now, official weigh in for myself is tomorrow morning (Sundays are a hard day to eat somewhat healthy.. but hopefully I did okay!)

Next up on Nerdfitness is the Nutrition portion.  Right now I am between a Level 2 and Level 3.

I will start at Level 2!  This next week I will continue to work on documenting what I am eating.. and continue to cut back on my liquid calories.  This time next week I should be writing about how I am leveling up to Level 3 on the Nutrition portion!  New pictures next week :)
