Goal #1: Get 30 minutes of exercise per day:
- May 2 and 3: 30 minute walk
- May 4-7: FAIL
- May 8: kickball!
- May 9 and 10: 30 minute walk
- May 11: kickball
- May 12: 30 day shred
In addition to having failed for 4 days, I need to start doing something besides walking. See: today's 30 day shred, and tomorrow's goal of going for a run.
Goal #2: Track what I'm eating.
I started using loseit.com again, and I've logged food 7 of the last 12 days. Not terrible, but definite room for improvement.
Goal #3: Reduce caloric intake in some vague way
I told myself I was going to drink less alcohol, but I had at least one drink on 6 of the last 12 days. I can probably reduce this - but there always seems to be a reason: free beer when we win kickball, Cinco de Mayo tequila, trying the local bar's new blueberry beer... abstaining from alcohol is hard! Yet, I know alcohol is empty calories I could cut out if I really tried.
As for other ways to reduce my caloric intake, I have snacked a bit less, so that's a pro.
I'm thinking about looking for a new app to use to track workouts (mostly walking and running). I think ideally, I'd like an app that can help facilitate my workouts - e.g. has the ability to set up run/walk intervals and tell you on your headphones when to run/walk. I'd also like it to be able to store info on distance/time/pace/calories burned I think. Bonus points if it interfaces with some way for me to track what I'm eating, so that I have one central place for workouts + caloric intake. Any suggestions, blog world?
Sounds like you're doing great!
ReplyDeleteI believe Runkeeper can do all of the Thu vs you're looking for. It definitely will speak instructions (and time/distance/pace info)to you while running, and I believe it integrates with eating/tracking widgets galore.

DeleteRunkeeper syncs with MFP! Love the custom workouts and it's free.
