This is the email where I sit back and reflect on how the previous week went and see where I can have some improvement.
With the workouts, I feel I've done very well, all things considered. The Health Fair should not happen again until next year, so that means I should always have room to do all the exercises that I fell comfortable in doing. I made it to the gym and exercised every day planned last week, but it wasn't entirely my fault that I could not do a complete workout every single days. Hopefully 4 full workouts this upcoming week will make a serious impact on my weight loss.
The things I need to improve upon withe exercising is doing a full amount of reps. For most of the routine, it requires 12 to 14 reps per move, and I've been doing 10. A personal goal for this week is to do 12 every time.
With food, I also feel I've done well with the exception of yesterday. I've kept my portions correct, I've avoided simple sugars, and I got used to eating 5 small meals throughout the day. I've found that because of this, I have more energy throughout the day when I'm at work, and I even got less headaches than expected. (I was expecting one per day, but I didn't get any last week.)
But I think the most important lesson learned is the evil of simple sugars and vegetable oil. Yesterday I had soda, lemonade, cheesecake--which I forgot to mention in yesterday's post--and tempura shrimp, and it resulted in me feeling sick, and having a 2.4 pound weight gain! I almost fell off my Wii Fit when I read that on the TV screen. Though 2.4 pounds gained in one day is typically just as easy to lose, it did thwart my attempt to stay in the 220's and never re-enter the 230's.
That means for Week One, I lost about 5 pounds, which is still admirable. I will definitely achieve my goal if I continue that trend, so all is well today.
And now is the start of Week Two.

Have you ever had Odwalla bars? Eat them, well, just the berries go mega. They have 210 calories and are very nutritious and delicious and have no refined sugars. Also, you should try Keloggs protein water...just add a packet to butt cold water and taintoobad. I often freeze mine over night and then take it with me for whatever morning adventure. You're awesome and hilarious...may the force be with you.
