I started off on the right foot with January and ate three servings of vegetables a day the entire month. I was able to roll that goal into February, March, and now April.
February and March didn’t go as well. The goal for February was one snack per day and I hit that goal around four out of twenty-eight days.
March’s goal was two sweets per week or fewer, and that also didn’t go as well. I think I maybe made it one week without sweets
Although my February and March goals were a bust, I did get down to race weight, which sets me up for April’s goal of maintaining race weight. As of this writing, I've been at or under race weight since the end of March.
Even though I missed February and March's goals, I'm going to retroactively incorporate them in to the rest of this year, with one modification.
For the snack goal, instead of one snack per day, I'm going with one snack on days when I work out for fewer than 45 minutes. For awhile while I was working on my weight, I was losing a little more weight than I needed to, so a couple snacks on days when I work out over 45 minutes isn't going to break the bank.
As far as the sweets goal goes, I'm rededicating myself to two sweets per week. And that means two sweets, not a free-for-all on days when I'm eating sweets. To make myself more likely to be successful, I'm going to plan out my treats and look forward to them rather than putting myself in a deprivation mindset.
Initially I was tempted to tell myself I'd just take a couple days off per week from sweets, but this feels better.
Eleven more days of April and I'm off to the next goal.
Stay well.
