Well today wraps up the first week in many of this new challenge. Here’s how I did.
Nutrition – Overall C+
Rule 1: Eat six meals a day equaling 1200 calories.
Wow, I should have reviewed my rules better. I didn’t really eat six meals a day, more like four and I’ve been trying to keep it under 1500, not 1200. I guess I just didn’t realize that was the rule. I stayed under 1500 every day except Friday and Saturday. Friday night was due to pizza indulgence with my best friend and Saturday to an amazing meal at a friend’s restaurant in Austin. This week I need to better plan for events so that I don’t go over my limit of 1200! Not 1500. And I think the six smalls meals will help me from feeling too hungry. My grade: D
Rule 2: Eat on a schedule 7, 9, 12, 3, 5, 7 with a focus on protein, veggies, fruit and beans.
Again, I totally forgot about the schedule rule. There was no schedule beyond breakfast. Yes, I did focus on protein! My grade: C
Rule 3: Avoid sugar, bread and high-fat cheese.
I broke this rule once. The bread/cheese indulgence was pizza. My grade: B
Rule 4: Drink at least six pints of water a day.
I got about 2-3 pints a day. I got six on Monday. My grade: C
Supplements – Overall: A
I took my vitamins and supplements everyday. My grade: A
Exercise – Overall: C+
Rule 1: HIIT training 3 days a week.
Done. My grade: A
Rule 2: Yoga six days a week in the evening.
I guess I haven’t had time. And I haven’t put as much importance on this part of my training. My grade: F
Rule 3: Strength MWF, alternating upper and lower body
Done. My grade: A
Bonus – Overall: C+
Rule 1: 90 days, no excuses.
So far so good. My grade: A
Rule 2: Limit alcohol to 1-2 drinks a week.
I had 14 drinks this week. That’s like 2 a day. That’s not like 1-2 a week. That’s pretty bad. My grade: F
Rule 3: No scale.
Woohoo. I get an A on this one.
