Hey, there; it’s time for the first regular check in here at Weight Loss Wednesday. However, it occurred to me that I haven’t really listed any of my regular goals. Well, other than the weight loss itself, I mean. Anyway, let me rectify that oversight now.
For the moment, my specific plans are focused solely on activity. Sure, I am beginning to be more aware of what I eat, as that’s obviously a huge component of weight, but right now I think I need to take one step at a time. So, I have some fairly simple goals for the moment:
- One daily plank, in conjunction with the #planksalot challenge
- Minimum four workouts weekly, minimum 30 minutes each (I hope to do six days, but I’m leaving my official goal at four for now.)
- 100,000 steps weekly
Oh, and, of course, the weight. Friends and I have started making our plans for a gathering in California this June; I’d like to drop at least 20 pounds by then.
Okay, so how did last week look?
| Day | Plank | Workout | Steps |
| Thurs | 1:00/:45 | 55 minutes, Richard Simmons and Leslie Sansone | 15,218 |
| Fri | 1:02 | 25 minutes Leslie Sansone | 10,148 |
| Sat | :30 | 1 hour 3 minutes Wii boxing & Wii fit, 7 minutes floor stretching | 15,033 |
| Sun | :30 | Neighborhood walk, approx 2 miles | 10,035 |
| Mon | 1:05 | 1 hour 6 minutes, Wii Boxing | 15,270 |
| Tues | Forgot | Rest Day | 11657 |
| Wed | 1:15 | 47 minutes, Leslie Sansone | 11279 (+, day not yet ended) |
Total steps this week: 88,640. This is Thurs-Wed, so today obviously isn’t over yet. But, I’m just as obviously not going to rack up another twelve thousand-ish steps before midnight, so I won’t meet that goal this week.
Weight: Dropped one pound and one overall inch.
Overall: Met my workout goal, but not step count goal and did not plank every day. Not too bad, but I can do better. Onward to next week.
