Week 1: Goals in Review

Remember my post reviewing my current goals to get myself ready for Las Vegas? Well lets check in and see how I am doing on these goals!

1. Diet, diet, diet! My friend, Nate has helped me create a meal plan for me to stick by. Lots of lean meats, less carbs, and veggies. Smaller portions, too!
• I have actually been doing really well on the diet front. My meals have been smart choices and I have been keeping my portions in check.
2. Exercise. I have been slacking in the workout department. I want to continue to run harder and further each day and also add additional workouts when I can. Including biking, jogging, walking and sports on the weekends and after work. 
• This has also been going well. My morning runs for the most part have been good and we did a nice long run last Saturday and plan to do the same this Saturday. I also got in a nice hike on Wednesday night. I still need to improve on adding more workouts after work, but I do feel good about what I have been doing. Softball season is also starting very soon so that will fill my Sunday's up with some nice exercise.
3. Get started with CrossFit. I have been putting this off again for some reason. It's time to check it out already!
• And this is where I fall off the wagon...I have changed my mind again. Although I would love to start CrossFit I am still stuck on the damn price. Every single person I have ever talked to says it is beyond worth it once you start, but I just cannot justify it in my mind. I think I am going to remove this from my list and focus on the workouts that I am doing now and adding in additional workouts. I just feel like where I am right now with saving to buy a house it is not the best idea to take on a $150+ bill a month. That money could be much better used in my savings account!! This is absolutely still one of my long term goals to try, but for now I have postponed.
4. Drink more water.
• I have been doing well with drinking more water! Typically I drink 4 bottles a day at work and then some at home and before bed. I definitely need to keep this up and even drink more when I can.
5. Have fun! I am so excited for Las Vegas I cannot stop thinking about it. With it being in the back of my mind I know the future trip will motivate me to enjoy what I am doing and have fun!
• Well this one is easy! ;-) I have been having a blast planning and getting ready for Vegas. I can't wait!!

All in all I think I have done really well. I feel good about the food I have had to eat and about the workouts I have done. Although my weigh-in this morning did not reflect any change (which is a complete bummer), I physically feel better in the clothes I am wearing and how they fit. We are officially 5 weeks away so I really hope to see some change on the scale next week.

Have a great weekend!
