2010 Weekly Update 1: The Good, The Bad, and The New Exercise Goal

Alright, so I remembered to come back and update! Exercise-wise, this week went well. I was active during 4 days, for at least 30 minutes each day! And the activities I chose were well-rounded; I was on the exercise bike one afternoon, did pilates another afternoon, and went on two walks (one was about 30 minutes, one about 60!) So I am quite proud of myself for that and hope it carries on!

Food wise, this week started out okay, but ended rather badly. I went to the pub and had fish and chips Friday night, then I ate a bag of chips (let's say about half last night, and the other half today). The chips were for a party, but I ended up bringing them home with me. Today was a bad day, as I was supposed to be working on school stuff. Instead I procrastinated all day, which included eating the chips! :( Oh yeah, and then I opened a box of chocolates from Christmas; I didn't need the chocolates, but I wanted one (and it was another way to procrastinate for a few minutes). This was really not good, but luckily was just a few days. So hopefully I will stop procrastinating tomorrow, and get back on track with eating healthier (and at least there are no chips in the house that I know of!)

I don't know if you remember my exercise goal from February 2007, but I still have the picture I made of the girl in the black tankini on my bulletin board. Underneath the pictures it says "160lbs by June 1st." My brother saw it the other day, and said I can totally make that this year if I try. Well, I've been thinking about it, and if I can keep up with the exercise now, when I'm really busy with school, then he's right, I can make it. So I'm going to make another attempt this year. Instead of 160lbs, I'm going to go for 170lbs. If I'm doing alright, say by mid-April/early May, then maybe I'll keep going for 160lbs. So wish me luck! I need a new bathing suit this summer, and I'd love to look and feel good in it!

By the way, I'm still successfully keeping my log book! Yay me!
