I was good on doing the exercise, however.
So for the next 100 days I have some new goals and trying again with some of the old ones.
- Sticking to my daily points
- Trying not to go over extra points
- Exercising an hour a day, at least five days a week, incorporating both sculpting and cardio
- New: Walking at work whenever I can during the week
- New: Learn conversational Korean in the car, finishing 8 lessons of the Pilseur method.
Now that it is cooler, I have been fond of taking strolls downtown during my "lunch" period to get out of the office and move a bit. Since the summer has been so damned hot, I don't like going out when it is more than 80 degrees outside. Last week I started going out Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I want to keep doing this until about late November when the temperatures get below 50 degrees. I also want to incorporate more workouts in the morning on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If I do that at least twice a week I think I will be able to get to work more on time.
On the conversational Korean, well I want to be able to hold a simple conversation with a native speaker at some point. Self study can be the real pits, so right now I want to be able to order things in a restaurant and get around a town. Early next year I will tackle the written language. My goal is to be able to get around a city without much assistance. Next year I REALLY want to go to Seoul before I turn 40.
hey sis... regarding the weight loss, all the point counting you do drives me nutty. I thought I'd share what I'm doing and mention a good documentary I just watched. I decided over a week ago to start fasting because I knew I had addictions to sugar, coffee, breads and pasta, etc. I found a plan that sounded much better than the first time I fasted (which was strictly water for two days - I don't recommend that) and decided to give it a shot. It's a ten day fast that's mostly veggies, and the idea is to break food addictions and encourage better eating habits. I'm 9 days in, and think it's been a great thing for me, but just watched a documentary called Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. I wish I had watched that first because it would have made this experience a little less miserable. I suggest you watch that doc (it's on Netflix) and if you use the concepts expressed in it, maybe you can stop worrying about how many points every little thing is that you want to eat. Eating well and being healthy doesn't need to involve so much math. One aspect of your current system that's probably hurting you is the restrictive nature of it. I know when I quit smoking that if I had felt like I was depriving myself of something, I wouldn't have been able to do it. Without that mental block, the goal is sooo much easier to attain. Love ya...
