Experiment Update Number 1

So I just re-read my goals, which I had forgotten all about.
I did get in three strength workouts and 2.5 cardio workouts last week. So I was pleased about that. Tonight I am due for the circuit training (strength routine) with a few more reps than last week. Can I say that I'm dreading it? Can I say that that would be an understatement? Either way, let's stay positive here, I hit last week's exercise goal.
I also did a fairly good job of sticking to healthy snacks at work (I passed up a shared Twix!), until the weekend, which coincided with pre-m.s. I ate a fare amount of not the best stuff this weekend. But I will say that McDonald's has one of the best chocolate dipped cones around. The chocolate melts in your mouth like poison. Yum!
I drank on Saturday. Forgot all about my three drink limit. But didn't have a hangover, so although I wasn't as healthy as I'd have liked, I DID get my @ss to work on Sunday morning for a little OT.
Two out of three ain't bad, right? Well, technically it's a 66.66%, which is not a passing grade, but I'll take it.
This week's goals are pretty much the same (sort of blew the snack one given that the Girl Scout cookies I ordered came in today), so instead of trying to avoid unhealthy snacks altogether (at which I will fail), I'll compromise by making my goal to count calories this week instead. And not go over. Obviously. Um, today is excluded. That means I'll count on Saturday too.
Okay, those are some nice, shiny goals. Now...I shall try not to die while I do squat thrusts. Yes, they are just as horrible as they sound.
