You lose a little, you gain a little.

I have been a SLACKER! I have not blogged in a few days but I still have been healthy... okay, healthier. So, let me bring you up to speed.

Let's talk weight. I did my weekly weigh in this week {Monday} and to my dismay, I GAINED 1.1 pounds. What? How could this happen? I might not be perfect but I have made a hell of a change. Hmmmm...

Here our my thoughts:

The Negatives:

I had a little bit of a cheat weekend. I went to the Jazz game and I am a true believer that a sporting event goes hand-in-hand with a Hot Dog and Diet Coke. It is what it is. It was my boyfriends birthday, so of course we went out to eat & I had a "I am going to just enjoy my man and this meal," meal.

I did not work out on Friday.

I ate late a few nights (past 6:30pm).

I didn't count calories as well as I should & did not keep record of my food intake.

The Positives:

I worked out 6 days!

I ran 4 miles, in 40 minutes, burning 500 calories on Saturday!

I drank tons of water & only drank two diet cokes.

I made healthy dinners & even though I did not record my food intake, I did eat overall way healthier! Lots of fruits & veggies!

Overall thoughts:

I NEED TO WORK HARDER!!!

Even though I gained 1 pound this week, I have still lost an overall of 3.6 pounds, thus far. So, I am going to stick with my original timeline and give myself the goal of losing 2.4 pounds (174.7bs) by Monday.

Here are 10 guidelines to reach my goal in 6 days:

1: 5 liters of water a day!
2: 45 minutes of cardio a day!
3: 15 minutes of weights a day!
4: NO SODA!
5: No eating after 6:30pm! NO EXCEPTIONS!
6: Eat every three hours.
7: Record all food intake!
8: Stay under 1200 calories!
9: No chocolate.
10: Blog every night.

It is time to put the petal to the metal.

Healthy Wishes,
Alex
