Remember this post? Where I told you all my goals for this year and promised to update you monthly on my progress? Well here is your first update.
1) Lose 20 pounds by the end of the year.
So far this has been a little disappointing. I actually weight (very, very) slightly more than I did at the beginning of the year. I have done the Shred 18 times. I started really strong but then my knees started bothering me, I went to Boston for longer than expected, and we got lots of snow which made me lazy...excuses I know. I'm going to get back on track and I am happy that I am at least doing something few times each week minimum. It's a big improvement from last year.
The big news this past week is that I started Weight Watchers online. Tuesday was my first day of tracking points and my weigh in day is Friday, so while last week was my first week I don't feel like it is a good representation. This is my first full week. So far I really like being able to track everything online and having access to all of the recipes and guides. I'm going to try and plan out all our weekly meals based on WW recipes or using their "recipe builder." The big thing that I am noticing so far is my portions, especially at dinner, are just too big. Eating out will also be hard so I'm going to try to save up points and plan out what to eat in advance!
2) Take more pictures
I have been doing a little better than last year but still have lots of room for improvement. My first big "event" with my friends of this year is next weekend so that will be a good photo opportunity.
3)Get accepted to a Masters in Teaching program
School 1: My interview will hopefully be sometime soon! It got all messed up because of the snow. Stupid snow.
School 2: Honestly don't know what is going on with these bitches. I don't even know if they have all the right stuff, have lost paperwork or what. Very annoying. I don't think I want to go there even if I do get in.
School 3: ACCEPTED!
Overall, it has been a mixed first month. Can't wait to see what the next one brings!
