Week One Review

The last day of my first offical week and looking back I think it went great! During the week I did well at work, keeping to my healthy eating plan and at night being able to enjoy a dinner of choice. But when the weekend came, I became a little worried about my eating habits. I am definitely a person who likes routine and during the week I am able to pack a similar lunch from day to day and know when I will eat it. On the weekends I am not that structured and meals end up being at all different times, which I think slows down my metabolism. For the most part I am not a snacker. I don't keep snacks like chips, ice cream and cookies in the house because I know I would eat them. So during the weekend my metabolism probably doesn't work as hard because I will go hours with out eating something healthy. My goal during this challenge is to be more conscience of my weekend eating.
I have also decided that during this challenge I will try to blog each night and reflect on my eating habits and exercise habits for that day. I need to be held accountable not only for the food I eat but the exercise regimine that will help with my weight loss. This week I started off exercising Saturday, Sunday and Monday but Tuesday through Friday I didn't go to the gym. I also decided that working out in the evening during the week and in the mornings on the weekend is better for my schedule. Overall, I think I will be happy with the outcome on the scale tomorrow morning and look forward to another great week. Now I'm off to the grocery store to stock up on salad and yogurt. No need to buy fruit this week, I went orchard hopping yesterday. :) I bought locally grown cucumbers,peppers and picked my own peaches and blueberries. YUM!
