one cheat meal per week which I will plan at least a day in advance
I think I did pretty well with this.
one cheat dessert per week which can be with the meal or separate
Some days I ate desserts that weren’t planned but I tried to make them small or healthy. When I felt like I was cheating, I always counted it as one.
- plan meals ahead of time
This isn’t super realistic for me sometimes. I did my best and definitely better than had I not been making a conscious effort but I want to keep working at it.
drink at least 8 glasses of water a day
Bam. I had a few days where I was lagging but overall, I’m satisfied.
get at least 7 hours of sleep every night
Some days were better than others. For the most part, I did get at least 7.
drink one glass of water with breakfast
Donezo.
- drink one cup of tea every day
Negative. I drank more than normal but honestly, this just doesn’t work for me. Maybe 4 cups a week would be more reasonable for me.
- use PB2 instead of Peanut Butter
I cut this one. I don’t even eat PB enough for this to be an issue. I would like to use PB2 more but not in complete place of regular PB.
- Run 3x/week
I cheated this one. Even if I did other workouts on my run days, I have recently not been consistent with it. I let bad weather and laziness get in the way.
Strength train at least 2x/weekCross Train 2x/weekplan workouts ahead of time
I did plan them but I didn’t always stick to them perfectly. Woops.
I’m happy because I did form habits that are going to help me improve myself and I know I can keep them up. I didn’t do everything perfectly but like I’ve said before, it’s a process and this was a good base to help me get back on track. I didn’t change a whole lot physically which is okay because it was only a month and if I keep it up, I know I’ll see changes in the future. I had a good time trying some new things and revisiting some old.
