Fitness Wednesday - Week 2

Another week has passed, and it's time to check in on my fitness goals. In last week's post, I said I wanted to weigh in under 330 this week. I am happy to report success because the scale read 328 this morning. Another three pounds gone!

I have continued to improve my eating habits. I am still snacking on vegetables at work and avoiding soda. I've started eating a little better when I get home at night as well. I did have a couple of slip ups this past week, but not as many as I have had in the past.

This weekend is going to be difficult though. I have a series of Magic tournaments that I'm running starting on Friday evening and running through Sunday evening followed up by the Superbowl Sunday night. These weekends have previously been filled with junk food and soda, but I'm hoping to change that this time. I'm planning on having healthier snacks available and avoid soda as much as possible. We will see how it goes.

The exercise bike I purchased has an 8-week weight loss program that you do 3 days a week. I started that yesterday. My goal is to use the bike three days a week following the program, and then fill in the other days with other exercise.

328 is the lowest I've weighed in a long time, and it makes me feel good. As I see the number get lower and lower, it helps keep me on the path. I lost three pounds this week, so I hope to lose at least another three pounds this week and report in at most 325 next week.
