SCC Check In #2

Last weeks goals:

1. record EVERYTHING I eat via myfitnesspal app. be honest.
2. run this weeks 5k harder than last weeks (replace 4.5 with 5 and 5.5 with 5.8)
3. 2x weight workouts, core and upper body. done

Last weeks starting weight: 137 lbs.

This Weeks Goals:

1. go to crossfit three times, work out at the gym at least twice.
2. Take my vitamins (multi, fish oil, C + calcium) every single day.
3. Don't eat a single meal in front of the TV
4. Track my meals at least during the weekdays
5. Pamper myself. Dress nicely for class + moisturize all over at least once a day. Paint toes.
6. Drink 8 cups of water a day minimum

This Weeks Starting Weight: 138

Last week was a bit of a mix. First, I weighed myself on my moms scale for the original weight which has always been a couple of pounds more forgiving than my own, so I'd consider this week a 'weight maintained'. I tracked most of my food, but because I was often coming back the next day to update it I know there are things that I forgot to include. I did not run another 5k this week so thats a failure all around.

To achieve this weeks goals I will:

- sign up for xfit classes in advance + have hubby call me to wake me up on those days (my new school schedule means that I will have to xfit in the mornings instead of after supper)

- lay out my vitamins in my daily pill container and leave it on my desk/table where I intend to eat my meals.

Those pills are all as huge as they look.

- Eat at my desk/table

- Always carry my phone, plan my meals so that I can track before hand.

- Take a half hour each night that will be dedicated to myself, the things I want and need.

- Carry my 4 cup water bottle at home always and my two cup water bottle while out, always. Figure out a system to mark how much I've had without always having to break out the phone.

I think if Freud got anything right it was his concept of oral fixation. I am (was, have been, whatever) a smoker, and I carried that bottle everywhere drinking constantly. I eventually chewed the top off so there's no more water seal and I can't take it around with me anymore - its always spilling. Being the lucky girl I am, hubby surprised me with the pink one at Christmas. And I.. Well, I surprised him with a red one!

You know it was an accident 'cuz it's impossible to be this cheesy on purpose.

The goals have been made. Lets do it!

My Intentions

Why I Made This Blog

I spent a lot of 2011 trying to work out more and trying to be a better student. The fact of the matter is I know I am capable of more and I want to make myself accountable to that. That is how I found my way over here (where apparently I already had an account for some other purpose long forgotten). I don't want to lose weight in an unhealthy way, and I don't have a huge goal, number-wise. What I want to do is exercise, eat clean and put in the effort to become not only fit but strong.

Who I Am

I am a 21 year old female university student. History is my major. I am engaged to a wonderful man who is a soldier in the army. I like to read and daydream about being fit.

My "stats"
