12-Week Shape Up! Week 3
If you missed the previous weeks and would like to join in, check out Goodbyes, WLS, Baseline, and the 12-Week Shape-Up. Week 1's challenge is at the bottom of the blog post.
Week 2 is in the books. Congratulations! Now it's time to weigh-in, both in regards to your weight, and in regards to how you did with your weekly challenge. As a reminder when measuring your weight, try to do it at the same time every Monday, in the same clothes, and before breakfast if possible.
How did you do?
12-Week Shape Up! Week 2 Weigh-In:
- Weight: 310
- Previous Weight: 312
- Weekly Loss: 2
- Total Loss: 10
- Weekly Challenge Success and Challenges
- Successes: My body fought back hard during week 2, holding onto everything I put in it. I gained two pounds in the first two days of the week, yet was under 1500 calories each day. So I actually managed to lose 4 pounds this week, counting re-loss of the two I gained, and I didn't let the gain get me down. That's a success!
- Challenges: On Sunday, (this seems like a pattern) I was craving unhealthy foods... this time it was Crazy Bread from Little Caesar's. I successfully fought it, but it was a hard-won battle and I barely won, at that.
12-Week Shape Up! Week 3 Challenge: Get moving some more.
Park farther out in the parking lot, walk your dog twice a day instead of once, walk an extra block, take the stairs down all levels, or up one or two. Find a way to fit in more small changes to work in concert with last week's movement.
This week is not about increasing intensity, it's about finding even more opportunities to move. We are just starting this adventure together, so we don't want to burn out. Slow and steady wins the race, right?
The mantra for this week is to find ways to take more steps.
Keep your feet moving, and the pounds won't be able to keep up with you!
