Weekly Goals

It's Monday again and that means that it's time to assess last weeks goals and set new goals for this week.

Last week my goals were:
1. Eat a home cooked dinner 4 to 5 times
2. Exercise 5 to 6 times this week.
3. Lose 2lbs this week
4. Eat between 1200 - 1400 calories a day.

I achieved my first goal by eating exactly 4 home cooked dinner last week. I cooked chicken with rice, salmon with rice and pork chops with rice. I think I eat too much rice, so this week I'll have to add in more vegetables. In addition to having 4 home cooked dinners I also had leftovers which I had for lunch several times last week. I also accomplished my second goal of exercising 5 to 6 times that week by doing 5 workouts last week. I think I really benefitted from having this goal. As I said in my blog last week, there were a few days where I didn't want to go to the gym. But since I knew that I had set this goal and posted in my blog I felt obligated to go.
As for my third goal of losing 2lbs, the weigh-in isn't until tomorrow. So I'll let you know how I did. From my calculations of calories in - calories out, I believe I should achieve that goal.
Lastly was my goal of eating between 1200-1400 calories a day. There was only on day last week where I actually stuck to that plan. However it wasn't as if I grossly over eating. On average I was only 100 calories over my goal. If I spend a little extra time planning my meals the day before, I believe I will be able to achieve that goal. With that being said, here are my goals for this week:

1. Eat between 1200-1400 calories
2. Exercise 5-6 times a week
3. Try 2 new workouts
4. Eat a home cooked dinner at least 4 times

Daily Journal:
Today I ate about 1500 calories. I didn't exercise today. Instead I decided to give my sore legs a rest after yesterday's hike.
