Summer's here! How did I do on Greg's Countdown to Summer Challenge?
Check out my results video here.
If I had to grade myself on my effort these past 9 weeks, I'd say that I deserve a B-...
I did tweet EVERYTHING I ate these 9 weeks. Thanks to everyone on my twitter account for keeping me accountable. It really did help me to see what I was eating and when. I realized that I was doing things I wasn't when I first started losing weight, which probably had a lot to do with my weight loss plateau.
I did not do all my Couch to 5K runs. I made it up to Week 6 day 3! But was never able to get past that and I got bored and discouraged and started doing alternate workouts. You know me, I gotta keep it fresh or I'll fall off the wagon. When I went back to regular workouts I realized that the Couch to 5K had made me a little complacent. I was only working out 30 minutes, 3 times per week, instead of 45 min to 1 hour 4 times per weeks as I had been before. So I decided to step things up a bit.
(I will be putting a hold on the endurance training for a while, but more on that later...)
I was very haphazard with my toning goal. I would sometimes do all 30 minutes, sometimes only 15, sometimes none. And I have really outgrown those 5 pound hand weights, so what I was doing wasn't even a challenge anymore.
I did keep myself accountable and make a video to check in every week as I had planned to do.
I learned a lot about the way I was eating and the amount of effort that I had been putting into my workouts. I plan to step things up a bit, since I am coming up on my one year anniversary on youtube! Thanks to this challenge I am fired up to set new goals and challenge myself again! Stay tuned...
