Brand New Goals on Day 15!

Hello, friends, family, randos, and other wonderful folks of the internet! This marks two weeks since I started my blog-o-venture and the two week mark means reviewing my Tiny Goals-- having a discussion about what worked and what didn't, and adding brand new goals!

Yesterday was my last day of focusing on:

• Tracking my calories and eating less than 2000 on exercise days and less than 1500 on non-exercise days
• Avoiding burritos the size of my face and
• Daily walks

Goals one and two were extremely successful-- Sunday we even went to Qdoba and I found something less caloric to eat! Self-control for the WIN! Daily walks did not go so well.

This is apparently what my brain was telling me the past two weeks

However, I started doing something different last week, which I think will become my new movement-related goal. The goal sort of became to exercise every day, but make sure it's a minimum of three days a week. Each exercise session is a full half hour of cardio (stretching doesn't add in). 

I've also decided to change up the way my goals work. I mentioned at the beginning I would have one food, exercise and "numbers," goal. This is now one Eating, one Exercise and one "Challenge," goal. I wrote about my eating goal for weeks 3-4 on Monday, but here's a fun rehashing along with the other two goals:

• Food Goal: Make sure to get two vegetables and three fruits a day. Learn two new recipes to make veggies more awesome.
• Exercise goal: MOVE every day.  Get a minimum of 30 minutes of cardio in 3 times a week. 
• Challenge Goal:  Burrito avoidance continues (I believe this is going to be my only forbidden food). Along with (and this is a challenge goal hardcore) no pizza that I didn't personally assemble. I still get to eat pizza. I just have to make it myself. 

Okay, if Spongebob brings me pizza, I'll eat it.

On this, the first day of the third week, I want to thank everyone for all of their comments. This process is only going to get harder. Seriously. I really appreciate all of the love and support! Go LGH!

I also have one more goal I want to share with you, internets, this one is kind of a surprise.

Since I want to:

• Learn how to cook and bake better
• Finish my thesis
• Write a book
• Exercise more

I've decided to give up hulu and netflix for the month of November AND I have decided that I'm entirely unplugged from the internet one day a week. That day this week is Saturday. Unplugging and not watching TV via my computer will really really really decrease the time I spend on my butt. And that's always a good thing :)
