Last week I posted my goals in what I had hoped to accomplish with my weight loss journey. As promised, I wanted to give you an update on how I did on my daily goals. My weekly goal update will be next week ...
The first, was to drink my weight in water daily.
I'll be frank - this one sucked (lol).
While I felt very hydrated, and made frequent trips to the bathroom - after my 4th bottle (each bottle is 4 glasses), I felt put off. I understand if you were less weight (i.e. 120 lbs) how this might be more obtainable. I did hit my goal twice in the last 7 days. What I am taking from this, is that drinking water is important ... but it's baloney to drink in such excess. I will stick to my 8-12 glasses a day!
The second goal was to eat like a King for breakfast, a Queen for lunch, and a Pauper for dinner.
I did okay for the first few days. Then I derailed. I am actually going to adopt this goal again for the next week, because I found the days I adapted to this, I felt 100 times better. My body likes to be fueled in the morning.
Finally, my third goal was to have one cup of green tea a day.
Perhaps because of my excessive water consumption, I was not hitting this goal. I loved the taste of my green tea though, when I did drink it.
Conclusion: Try again (ha, ha, ha). Seriously though - the water goal was obnoxious. In theory it seems good, but by day 3 I was over it.
For this upcoming week - I plan on just doing two goals. The goals are the same as I tried to hit last week, but I'm hoping to do better:
1) King / Queen / Pauper
2) Green Tea
We are also starting a biggest loser competition this week ... I'm hoping between that and my goals that I stay on track.
Thanks for reading!
