Weekly Check-in!
Saturday January 16th - Weekly Check-in!
I can’t believe it’s already January the 16th! When did this happen? I was just thinking to myself today that 14 days have passed since I started to what I consider Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet, and well... it’s already 16 days! I’ve gone 16 straight days without any refined carbohydrates or sugar. No rice, potatoes, anything bread-like, and no fruits with high glycemic values. (I’ve had raspberries, blueberries, and avocados.)
How did you do this week?
Look back at the goals you set on January 3rd.
Did you make any progress?
What went the way you planned?
What struggles did you have?
How did you and your accountability partners do in supporting each other through the week?
Is there anything you need to really work on this next week?
Looking back at my first draft of goals I’d say I’m quite satisfied with my efforts. While exercise hasn’t exactly been up to par my eating is definitely more on game. I’m eating more and slightly better than before although my hectic schedule makes it challenging. I’ve been wearing my new work pants and they fit comfortably! I definitely struggled during the week. On Sunday I almost cut off my finger tip, Monday we faced a scary situation with my son, Tuesday my daughter emptied a glass of water over my macbook, Thursday my insulin levels dropped causing a slight spell and I fucking cracked/chipped my top left molar, and now it’s almost 10pm on a Saturday and I am finally starting to relax after not being home for days! I am very grateful to have my accountability partners! A huge hug goes out to Harmony @mybigfatfitlife for checking in on me so often. Both @curvesandrunningshoes and @peacechikflower lead busy lives so it’s also great not to feel the pressure one might to keep tabs every day.I think next week is going to be about maintenance. I’ve gone 16 days without any sugar. I think by this point I am just going to keep pushing myself to find better alternatives. I also have to start getting to the gym more. This week has been extremely busy for me work/home-wise which means my personal time always suffers. I’m going to design a workout plan for next week and hopefully it will work out accordingly.
