Week Six Sunday

Happy Sabbath.  Today was Fast Sunday again, but today I only made 'til 2 instead of 5.

Here's what today looked like:

2- 2 slices of hawaiian pizza, 2 pieces whole wheat bread, 2 TB peanut butter

Dinner:  Hawaaian chicken freezer crockpot meal: chicken, chicken broth, pineapple, red bell pepper, onion.  I had it over 1 cup of brown rice with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup chow mein noodles.  Then I had a skinny cow ice cream sandwich.  

Tonight I tried to take Pip for a walk around the park despite the rain, but we only made it about a quarter of the way around before it just wasn't worth it.  The sidewalk was half flooded, and Pippin was pretty wet.  I cheated and took an umbrella.  

Today I was able to get my salad made.  It made six 2 cup servings.  I'll have to have an ounce of almonds with it to bring the protein up to the right level.  I didn't get breakfasts made for the week, but I can do that tomorrow.

Steps: 4968

Here are my goals from this previous week:
1.  Eat 5 meals a day.
2.  Eat whole foods whenever possible.
3.  Work out three times a week.
4.  Record steps daily and get 9,500 steps in a day.
5.  Prepare for and cook a balanced dinner five days of the seven.

Cryptic Results:
1. Yes yes, no, no, yes, yes,
2. mostly, kind of, no mostly, no, kind of, kindof
3. Yes
4. 13021, 6281, 9103, 10709, 11457, 4026, 4968
5. yes, yes, no, yes, no, no, yes

As I look at these, I still need to work on 5 meals a day, but I'm getting closer.  The three workouts a week is getting easy.  The steps were generally high.  The weather of the weekend affected my steps, but I got walks in during the school day and think I'm good to keep that goal going.  The balanced dinner goal is going to be a success this week.  The meals are already ready to go- all we have to do is throw them in the crockpot and eat them.

The one that looks weird to me is the "eat whole foods whenever possible" one.  My results for the week were really wishy-washy.  I'm going to adjust the wording for that one.

Goals for next week, week SEVEN!
1.  Eat 5 meals a day.
2.  Only eat 1-2 processed food a day- the rest need to be whole foods.
3.  Add 3 more machine stations to my work out.  (Right now, it takes 24 minutes to make two rotations of the circuit.  I want to work up to three rotations.  I'll phase in three more machines a week, so I'll be up to three rotations in a month.)
4.  Get in 9,500 steps in six days a week.
5.  Prepare for and cook a balanced dinner five days.

Things are feeling aligned and right.  I'm excited for these changes and to see the results in weight and inches when I do my weigh and measure appointment in two weeks.
