week 12 goal evaluation- are you on track?

Last week was a pretty good week food wise. I am sticking to my calorie allotment and not feeling hungry. I prepared my lunches so I made healthy decisions. This weeks focus is on snacks: prepare healthy ones to take to work, so I won’t eat crackers.. I am thinking blueberries and nuts, tomatoes/cucumber, carrots and hummus.. Stuff like that.

Yesterday, on my lunch walk, I drank water and my friend and I had one glass of wine. I am doing either/or with food and drinks. I have a normal amount of food with a glass of wine or whatever liquid calorie, or more food than I normally do, and drink water. It works well for me.

I like Melli’s goal approach: goals for the month.

So in April I want to stay within the limits of my calorie allotment (1900 per day) 25/30 days. I know there will be at least 2 difficult days: my son's birthday and brunch at a friends place. If I do go over, I want to keep it within TDEE (approximaly 2250).

I have a 50k goal for the month on Strava, so I plan on completing that one as well. That means about 12.5 k per week, which is one walk to and from work and a walk on monday.

This week I am planning my lunches and snacks for workdays. I’ve started a combination of the FB Booty and FB Flex challenge and lifting as heavy as possible. Today I did curtsy lunges with 7kg (15lbs) per hand, I was at 5 (11). Lunges used to be really difficult on my balance, but that is improving.

What are your plans this week? And how was last week?
