2011 Weekly Update 1: Jan 7-14

So here is the first of my "weekly" updates for 2011. Hopefully they'll actually be weekly updates this year.

My goals for the week were:
1)lose 2lbs
2)don't drink any booze
3)workout 3+ times this week

With the first goal, I wasn't successful. I managed to lose .4lbs. I'm not really sure if that means anything, but that's okay. I will try again next week.

The second goal was a big failure. I drank at my grandmother's birthday party, then again today. This one I will also try again with. Luckily next week there aren't any family gatherings, so hopefully I'll be more successful.

I thought I failed my third goal as well. But looking back, I was active for 3 times during the week. I played DDR on the 7th, I walked to and from my grandmother's house (an approx 40 minutes total), and I hiked in to take pictures of a waterfall on the 11th. I even managed to be active on two of the three days I specifically scheduled activity! The problem with this week was that I signed up for to present a seminar this Monday, so I've been working on that and have been feeling like I don't have any time for activity (which is clearly false, but that's how I do feel). But the seminar will be out of the way, which means I will be less stressed next week (after Monday)!

Unfortunately my rewards for the week didn't work. It's hard to reward yourself when you're working like mad on a seminar. So I'll try that again next week, too.

So for now, I'm going to try the same three goals.
