Week Nine: Progress Report

Ugh. I am so over all the tracking. I'm sure it's affecting my results (I only lost half a pound this week), but I just can't get into it so obsessively anymore. I think I know that I'll be changing up my plan after this week and my mind is already somewhere else. 

As you can see from the last post, my exercise was very good this week. I'm really pleased that it seems so much easier for me to fit in daily activity. 

Here's the Week Nine health summary:

Keep a food diary and maintain a low-carb, low-sugar, low-caffeine, no-artificial-sweetener, no-alcohol diet: Completely filled out 0 days of daily worksheets to log my food and total all carb, caffeine, and sugar content. Listed all exercise and food eaten (but not nutritional stats) for three days. Listed exercise only for four days.  

Be able to jog ¼ mile at a time without a walk break: Did well with this! For my 8 miles of regular run/walking, I was able to do quarter-mile intervals every time. Yes! And out of the 6 quarter-mile intervals we ran during the CrossFit workout of the days, I ran them without a walk break 4 out of 6 times. 

Get to a healthier BMI – between 26 and 27: Lost just another half-pound this week, so BMI is 28.8, down just .1 from last week. (Starting BMI 31.2; Week 1---30.2; Week 2---30; Week 3---29.9; Week 4---30.2, Week 5---29.9, Week 6---29.4, Week 7---29.3, Week 8---28.9)

Increase my physical strength: Went to CrossFit 3 times.

Get up between 6:30 and 7:30 every weekday: Did this 3 weekdays this week.

Get to bed by 11:00 every weeknight: Can’t remember. 

Get an average of 7 hours of sleep every night: I got 9, 6, 8.5, 6.5, 6, 10, and 8. Need more.
