I’ve lost a whopping ….5 LBS…disappointing to say the least…… The positive side is that I have gained a lot of muscle… My exercise routine has been doing the trick, while my eating habits remain lackluster. I’m going to take this time to break down things that worked and things that didn’t…

GOOD STUFF

• I go to the Gym at least twice a week and take a cardio or weight training class. If not classes jog on the treadmill and then use the machines targeting lower body and abs.
• I take a dance class at Alvin Ailey at least once a week…I feel that this helps to keep my limber and flexible.
• I jog on the treadmill at home at least three times a week.
• I take the stairs at school.
• My caloric intake is under 2,000…well for the past week anyway :)
• I have stuck to my terms as far as drinking water , no red meats, and no junk food

BAD STUFF

• I “treated” myself a bit too much……….My Christmas and New Year’s eating habits really put a hindered my progress this month.
• My carbohydrate intake is way too high..I can’t stop eating breads…..
• I eat out way too much…I need to cook more often.
• I haven’t been eating enough vegetables…

I seem to have lost some weight around my waist and legs. This has also made me want to take measurements of key areas rather than only evaluating my goals based on weight.

Here are side by side pics of me from last month and this month:





Goals for Next Results Tuesday ( 4 weeks from today)
• Make a stricter diet and stick to it 100% ( Less Carbs, More veggies)
• Continue w/ my exercise regimen now..but increase the speed that I run on the treadmill.
