Get Fit Fridays - Week 3

 This week was a better one for me. I was pretty motived. Still... I had trouble saying no to the french toast that my coworker got for me as a surprise. I did make and freeze a few home-made meals though, and I did make my 3 meal goal. Stay tuned for my recipes over the next few weeks (I have to take pictures when I thaw them). I also reached my first reward point! How exciting. Time to schedule a pedicure.
 
Current weight to lose: 16.6% of Bodyweight - Reward!

Goals for the week: Take Finn on actual walks 3 mornings this week. It's something I one did daily, but since our first snow of the year, it's more difficult. I may actually have to buy him some snow booties. This fits in with the Primal Blueprint rule: Move frequently at a slow pace. We'll see how the slow pace thing works when I'm freezing.

Get Fit Fridays - Week 2

Ok... I know, I know. I skipped a week. But in my defense, it took me two weeks to get through the book. I'm not sure I agree with everything (grain is a poison to humans?), but a lot of the other topics addressed in the book make sense. The fact of the matter is that processed foods mimic natural compounds, but they don't function the same.

Also, I really had trouble giving up the baked goods brought to work for team breakfast and the Halloween candy sitting around the office. Hopefully I'll be a little better this week. I'm already noticing a difference in the way my clothes fit and I can't wait for them to be even looser!

Current weight to lose: 17.8% of Bodyweight

Goals for the week: Record 10 primal recipes and/or adjustments to family recipes. Make 3 of these recipes and save enough to freeze for future meals.

What are the challenges that you have been facing when it comes to your goals? How are you overcoming them?

Get Fit Fridays - Week 1

I know I'm not the only one, but I have some goals to be healthier, and one of those goals is to eat more nutritious foods. And if I happen to lose some weight, then so be it ...Really though, who am I kidding? Losing the weight is what motivates me.

So here's the plan.... I am going to post weekly about my weight-loss/get healthy goals and progress. Why? Because I need someone to be accountable to, and because I would love to hear your stories!Pleae feel free to join me in this get healthy adventure. Just send me a comment/e-mail/etc. and I will be happy to post your progress or a link to your blog post too. And thus begins:

Goal for this week: Read the Primal Blueprint. I am hoping that it will encourage me to adopt a lifestyle change based around health. This is the basis of my husband's change in health, and he has made incredible progress so far. I'm proud of him, and I'm hoping that the principles I learn will help me too.

Here's how I'll structure it: Week 1 - Make and Post goals. Weeks 2 through ? - Start recording progress against those goas, as well as a health-related challenge and accomplishment for that week, related insights, and recipes that fit in with my new Primal lifestyle.

So, what are your health-related goals and how do you plan to accomplish them?
