March Mini-Goals

I've moved my tickers to my Goals & Challenges tabs, I'm a neat freak and all those tickers were cluttering my blog.

Some say neat freak, others say obsessive.  Whichever you prefer.

First we shall recap my February Mini-Goals.

#1 - Lose 8lbs

#2 - Exercise 10 times.

I did not reach either goal.  I lost 7.5lbs and I exercised 8 times.  

I'm not upset though.  I did what I could and I will continue to do better.

So in January, my goal was to lose 10lbs and I lost 10.5lbs so I'm TECHNICALLY on track for my monthly mini-goals for the year.

18lbs lost since January 1st.  It's crazy that 18lbs is the most movement I have had in MONTHS.  I'm a little nervous about school starting back up on March 31st.  I'm afraid I'm going to get into my bad habits again.  I just have to be strong.

March Mini-Goals

#1 - Exercise for 12 hours in March

I found with my goal of exercising 10 times, that I would exercise but I had to really push myself to reach beyond 20 minutes.  I think I will do better with an hourly goal.

#2 - Reach 299.9lbs in March.

I know, I know.  It's a bit extreme but I need to kick myself into gear and if I don't reach it then I will be 100% okay with that because I will be closer to that goal.  I found myself this past month reaching close to my 8lbs lost and then just hovering instead of putting in the hard work to surpass it.

# 3 - Log Food.

This really helps me and I need to do it EVERYDAY.  It keeps me on track and I just need to take the time to do it.
Like today for example...
My band was tight tight tight all day.  By the time I got home at 5PM, I had only had 150 calories all day.  I was driving home and thought....

Ice Cream would be good.
A McFlurry would be better than Ben & Jerry's.
You haven't eaten a lot today, just do it.

So I did.

I have an M&M McFlurry in my freezer.

Like a good little goal follower, I go to the McDonald's website and look up the nutritional information.

12oz M&M McFlurry = 710 calories / 25g fat / 105 carbs / 15g pro

HOLY MOLY!

So my totals for today ended up being...

1,224 calories / 46.5g fat / 123 carbs / 68g protein

Thank goodness I didn't eat a lot today.

This is what you call an eye opener.  One I am very happy with.  I will not be able to justify an M&M McFlurry so easily next time.

Do you have a food you can justify?  That you don't think is so bad?
 I dare you to look it up.
Report back to me in the comments.
I"m interested to see if I'm the only one who has these food delusions still.
