Fit to be Friday…..

Today is my first Fit to be Friday. I have created Fit to be Friday as the one day each week I am going to track how well I’ve done with my Baby Step Goals. Here is how I did:

1. Drink 64 ounces of water a day – Success! I have imbibed at least 8 glasses of water a day! Yay Me!
2. Drink my fiber wight loss drink before each meal – Fail! But that is not 100% my fault as I ran out and had to wait for more to come via mail. So I am back on track since they arrived last night and I will do a better job of making sure I have enough on hand in the future.
3. Take a multi-vitamin daily – Mostly A Success! I missed two days and am going to get up right now and take one while I am thinking about it.
4. Walk my dogs at least 1 mile 6 days a week – Success! and my dogs are such happy little beasts and slightly better behaved.
5. Attend a water workout class 1 day a week – Fail! I managed to talk myself out of going twice this last week. I am great at coming up with lame excuses. The truth is I just dread this.  I know I need to do it, I am just a baby and don’t want to.  Next week I am just have to shut up and do it.  It is like a pap smear.  Not pleasant but a girls got to do what a girls got to do.
6. 25 minute weight workout 3 days a week – Fail! The calves return to swim team on Tuesday and I will be stuck at the Y anyway so I am very optimistic this goal will be met next week.  Heck, I have nothing else to do so I might as well do something healthy.
7. Avoid white flour foods at least 50% of the time – I am really not sure. I think I avoided white flour but I did a piss pour job tracking my food this week.
8. Avoid sugary foods at least 50% of the time – Success!  I think I avoided all sugar except for yesterday when I had quite a but of peppermint bark when a fellow bovine came over with a bunch in tow.  It was too hard to say no.
9. Focus on eating fruits, vegs and lean proteins – -I am really not sure, again I had a tracking fail. I think I am going to morph 7-9 into one goal which is track my food at least 5 days a week. That seems to be a better approach.
10. Weigh in at Weight Watchers every Friday – Success! Well, I weighed in. The scale was not happy to see me and punished me by displaying a 6.2 gain. Alas…. I am proud of myself for going even though the scale was unkind and the good news about this weight gain is that I am sure to show a loss next week. Right?

Okay so it looks like I was successful (or mostly successful) 50% of the time.  Not great but not too tragic.  I am going to set the bar higher for next week and try to get to 75% success rate.  Hey, my farm wasn’t built in a day….
