my weekly evaluation

I am going to evaluate my goals in this post.

Last weeks goals and how I did:

Keep track of all my calories and stay within my limit. I didn't keep track as well as I should have. However I did better than I did from the previous two weeks combined.
Exercise 5 times-at least 30 minutes each. I only did two official 30 minute workouts again better than I did the week before. But I took a walk 4 out of 7 days on top of the 30 minute workouts.
Start getting back in to running, even if it's just once this week. My main workouts were running this week. Of course since I haven't ran in a while it was my own variation, well a program that I found online to help work me up to running 20 minutes straight. It felt really good to run actually.
No eating past 8:00pm. I did this maybe 2 out of 7 days. I need to work on this one.
Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily. I didn't get 8-10 every day but I almost did. I kept track of my water and put forth the effort to drink more.
Lose 2 pounds by next Monday morning. check!

This weeks goals:
I'm actually keeping with the same goals as last week. But I'm going to really focus on not eating past 8:00 and exercising. I really didn't think I did that well this week but as I evaluate myself I'm feeling more confident and realize I need to focus on the things that I did do rather than those I didn't. I'm starting to feel my habits change recently too. I bought some very yummy chocolate from this Christmas expo I went to this past weekend. When I got home I opened it and Michael, Noelle and I shared some pieces. I was able to limit myself to 1-2 pieces instead of completely losing control and eating 10. That was kind of a breakthrough for me. Yesterday something happened that got me pretty discouraged. I don't really want to share it but it kind of opened my eyes. I was sad for a little bit and mad at myself again for all the things I haven't accomplished, weight loss wise, and for letting myself get this overweight. But as I evaluate myself this morning I'm reminded that I've accomplished little things this past week. And though I wasn't perfect these little things will add up to a lot in the end.
