Weight: still above 205 = (0.0)
BodyFat: = 23% = (0.2)
Exercsise (1 Pilates, 1 weight, 1 reg, 1 boxing, 3 walks) = (0.7)
Eating = 3 fruits/vegetables average = (0.3)
Total= 1.2 (D)
Got most of my exercise in the first and last two days of this week.
Only tracked the first few days, so the number was low.
Body Fat (0.2):
Did Pilates yesterday and ate out yesterday. Those each individually usually results in a 1% loss.
Still above 205. Once I go below that, I will give myself 0.1 point for being below, 0.2 for being below 204, etc.
Total (1.2) D
I know that it sounds harsh to give myself a near failing grade, but the fact of the matter is that letter reflects my life from a health perspective.
I know how even minor increases in numbers motivate me. In the case of these 4, I know that the actual health benefits and life that will result from the B+/A- numbers will match the letters.
If I had tracked my eating, I would have eaten more fruits/vegetables and this would have probably gotten me a B-. If I had taken two more walks, I would have scored a B.
I have tried to "love" myself and "not beat myself up". The one consistency of doing that for the last 5 years is that it hasn't worked.
I got a lousy grade this week because I did a lousy job this week. I earned it. This upcoming week:
- 5 walks and four workouts (0.9)
- at least 7 FVs (0.7)
- 23% Body Fat (0.2)
- Hope to crack 204.8 (0.1)
This will yield a C.
Wish me luck.
