Week 1 Check In

A week came and went - and what a week it was. There was a lot going on at the office and I had two nights of client entertaining to do.

Here is a run down of how I did.

Nutrition Plan:

I was not 100% on plan - but I did better than I was doing previously.

Meal 1 - spot on Monday through Friday.

Meal 2 - spot on Monday through Friday. I found by 9 am I was ready for meal 2.

Meal 3 - spot on Monday through Friday.

I got called out to a few unexpected business lunches (this can happen in my line of work). I did my best to make good food choices those days - opting for salads w no dressing or rice with protein. I also found myself snacking a little at the end of the week (we always have free food and candy in the office)

Meal 4 - I only ended up with the yogurt meal one day in the first week, as I found I was still full from lunch (both on days when I had my planned lunch and days when I had an unplanned lunch). I expect that this will change as I workout more consistently and metabolism speeds up.

Meal 5 - I had my dinner three nights out of five planned. On the first night of client entertaining I did well as I ate Meal 5 before my client event and ate meal 4 when I got home. The next client event I was less successful. I should have ate before it but I did not. On Friday - hubby and I made a healthy meal at home.

Workouts:

I hit 4 of 6 planned workouts - working out consistently from Saturday through Tuesday. I was very sore as I have not lifted in a month - but it also felt great to be sore again. Due to being so sore on Wednesday I blew through my alarm without realizing it. Knowing that Thursday would be a really late night I opted for more rest.

Supplements

I did really well here - I took everything all week with the exception of Friday night.

Progress - What did I learn???

I did a weight in this morning and there were no changes this week. I do notice that I feel tighter. Even though my nutrition was not spot on - I noticed I was not starving. I was finding I was progressively hungry at the correct times during the day. What else is great is I had good energy levels all week - this is really important to me as I have long days and do technical work.

I need to add some probiotics to the mix!!!!
I also need to go to bed sooner!!!!

Goals for Week 2:

1. Work for it!
2. Get in at least 5 workouts (the goal is 6)
3. Tighten up the diet to get a better understanding if the calories are working
4. Avoid snacking on the free food at the office
