This week Kris @ Eclipsed has challenged us to Do or Do Not:
1. Plan for how you're going to deal with those inevitable cravings
I had thought keeping chocolate in the house was a good plan - obviously not because well I eat it so this one well, I'm not sure how to conquer it. I got in some cheaper (lower cal) chocolate that I don't like so well so we'll see how that goes.
2. Add in strength training to your workout routine
I'm meant to have a routine? Yeah the exercise part is kicking me, except for walking I haven't really done any. Okay I'm off to my Mum's to use her airwalker that I totally forgot to do earlier and then I'll try some reps with a tin of beans
I've really been falling behind on these challenges and my whole minding what I eat thing. I've been exercising, walking at work as part of my job but probably wouldn't be walking if it weren't for that. I've been ill and down and this week it is time less for recalculating my GPS but for making a U-turn not just when it's safe to do so but because it isn't safe to continue down this road.
This week I aim to:
1. Walk everyday
Monday to Thursday at my morning job, Friday before my afternoon job, Saturday during commercials and Sunday with my hubby
2. Air walk Monday - Saturday
Use my Mum's airwalker thingy for five solid minutes, Mon-Thurs when I get home from my morning job, Friday and Saturday before 10am
3. Do 25 sit-ups every morning
First thing every day!
4. Log my food intake
Not being consistent in this has led to VERY bad eating - NEED to do this
I'd love to:
Hit 10,000 steps Mon-Thurs, 7,000 Fri. and 5,000 Sat and Sun
Hit 35minutes of moderate activity Mon-Thurs, 30 Fri and 20 Sat and Sun
Hit a burn of 2600 Mon-Thurs, 2400 Fri and 2200 Sat and Sun
Not exceed a calorie intake of 1500 Mon-Fri and 1700 Sat and Sun
Honestly though any step in the right direction is a good one right now and I'll see how I go. I've decided to change weigh-in day back to a Monday and the results well . . . check out my Weekly Weigh-In post tomorrow to find out.
Thanks for the challenges Kris!

If it makes you feel any better, I've been struggling, too. You'd think, as long as I've been at this and with my early success, I'd have this down. Alas, not so much apparently.
Like you, thanks to my bodybugg I know exactly *why* I'm not seeing the results I want to see. Now, to buckle down and make myself take the steps to see the results.
I've toyed with changing my weigh-in day, too. I was thinking of changing it to Tuesday so that I'd have one good, solid workout day after the weekend, when I tend to splurge a bit more on my eating.
I like your idea of having a slightly higher calorie budget for the weekend. It gives you some room to splurge, but puts a cap on it, still holding you accountable. Good call!
Here's to a better week!
