Wellness Wednesday Check-In
What have been your successes or challenges this week with diet, exercise, mental wellbeing, etc.??
Re: Wellness Wednesday Check-In
You must be reading my mind! See post below.
This week I have successfully managed to stay under 1200 calories each day as well as get in 30 minutes of cardio. I am hoping to figure out a way to get my exercise in for the day although I have something else scheduled for the evening. Maybe thinking of doing the 30 day shred?
Diet- We ate out 7 times in the last week, so that definitely has been helping the waste line, but I did make pretty good decisions when we were eating out. This week I'm focusing on counting my points and trying to make good decisions while travelling this weekend.
Exercise- I did walk Rudy a few times around the neighborhod. I'm hoping to be able to increase my walks this week so I can start running soon!
Mental Wellbeing- I was surprised to discover I am down a dress size (and looking fabulous)! Also, I got 5 of these smaller dresses at 75% off! Woohoo!
These past three weeks with DH coming home and now being home has completely thrown me off. I had been working out 5 days a week, but lately it's only been once or twice. Hopefully, we'll get back into a routine soon.
I'm also hoping to start a spin class on Thursdays because I've been in a workout funk. I need to mix it up a bit.
Diet: I've been "better" with food (having big healthy breakfasts and bringing my own lunch) but the beer intake has been a bit much lately. Not that I've been a total lush, but I really shouldn't be drinking one every night at home with DH.
Fitness: I've been totally slack. The only activity I can really claim was the garden work on Sunday. Work has been crazy and I've been bringing stuff home which has really cut into what would normally be workout time. I think I just need to quit my job so I can exercise
Mentally: I flip flop between feeling awesome about myself and feeling in a funk. A lot of it is just frustration with my job and lack of free time to really be active. I worked until 5:30 last night, came home and ate, and then worked until 11. Quite depressing.
... Well wasn't that a total downer
My help was just hired and is starting the 28th, so I'm hoping things start to sound a lot more positive soon!
Due to my insurance changing I have been putting off making a dentist appoint (I also want to change dentists, so some research was required). I finally called today. Of course by the time I called they were closed. However at least I have the research done and I plan to call tomorrow.
