BFL Update

Well, we are officially in week 2 of BFL. I wanted to give an update at to how things are going. Here are the highlights and the downfalls so far.

Things that are going well:
  • I have worked out just like I should and I love it. I don't love cardio, but I have been getting it done.
  • I dropped 3 pounds this week. I am sure part of that is water weight. I weighed just after I sweated doing cardio.
  • I definitley feel better when I eat right.
  • I ate great on free day. Bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, ice cream, pizza... it was awesome! (I paid for it later, but it was fun while it lasted.)
  • I finally figured out how to get a good calf work out!!
  • All n' all I feel good.

Things that are not going so well:

  • I am not eating enough meals. I am supposed to eat 6 small meals a day, but I alway end up eating more like 4. It is actually hard to eat that often. I need to work on this.
  • I am also not drinking enough water. Another thing to work on.
  • I have been bad about taking my thyroid pills. I have a low thyroid and I REALLY need to take them. But, honestly, I forget to take them... or I can't remember if I did or not.
  • I know I am not pushing myself as hard as I should on cardio. I also know I am making excuses for it. I won't go into them here.

So, that is about it. I am going to work on those four things and will check back in next week and let you know how I did. Thank you again for keeping me accountable. Please feel free to ask me about the things that are not going so well.

Oh and lets hope 2006 is a hell of a lot better than 2005!
