I thought I'd do a monthly check in this year, just to see how my goals are doing!
1. Workout for 150 minutes a week.
The first few weeks I didn't quite hit that goal (well, one week I did thanks to shovelling snow). But since mid-January I've zoomed passed the 150 minute mark! Jan 13-19 I was active for 288 minutes, Jan 20-26 was 306 minutes, and last week was a whopping 390 minutes! Unfortunately I do think I'll be slowing down a bit from that. I feel like I've been way too busy over the last few weekends from skiing and snowshoeing and just really need some time to hang out at home without plans. So we'll see what happens in February.
2. No eating chips, chocolate, and other treats at work (with the caveat that I can eat some sweets if I go low).
This one's going extremely well! I ate some munchies in the coffee room at work on December 31st (which is technically not 2020!) ;) Then I had some cake on the 14th as part of a going away party (which I will admit wasn't a great plan - I didn't enjoy it, and I ended up fighting a high glucose level afterwards because my carbohydrate count guess was off). I had a few chips that night too (because why not at that point? I don't know, again, I didn't really enjoy them). Since that time I've completely avoided snacking in the coffee room. Last week I even realized that I'm not actively looking for munchies there like I used to. So definitely a win!
3. Make a new recipe every month.
I actually made four new recipes this month! They all came out of
Fuel Your Day by Madame Labriski. I actually love having her cookies and muffins on hand as healthier snacks - they're part of what's helping me succeed at avoiding munchies at work, too!
So that's been January! Hopefully I can keep up this momentum for February, too!
