Check-in: Good Enough

Last week, I set some goals. Here's how I did:

1. No more than one piece of bread or one sandwich at a meal.

I forgot this, and was thinking general portion control, rather than bread. I think I'll modify it to portion control, generally: stop eating when I'm not hungry. I did pretty well with that most of the time.





2. If I have dessert, it will be only one helping in a day.

I did this. It was hard, sometimes. But I did it.



3. Drink 2 quarts of water - every day.

I at least got close. Which is an improvement. I'll take it.




4. Daily supplements. I've got a couple. I'm not being consistent -- and they help my overall health.


I did better, but there's still room for improvement. The one of them doesn't taste very good, and I think I need to find a way to fix that.

5. Weekly bike rides, at least for the summer.

I did not take my bike out all week. As usual, this week was a zoo. I have to figure out what to do about that. 

So a mixed bag. BUT. I'm down on the scale, and I made progress in the right direction on taking care of my body. So I'm calling it a success!

Hooray for a positive check in!
One suggestion for yucky supplements: my prenatals and fish oil always gave me a stomach ache. But I found, if I took them right before bed, I'd sleep through the fishy side-effects. So, maybe if they're the pill sort, that might help.

Sadly, the one that tastes bad is a liquid. I've been diluting it, but I still dread it most days. Not sure what to do with it, but I think I need to figure *something* out, so that it actually gets IN.

Tickers!
