2007 Resolutions – Week 6 Results

I lost 0.9 pounds this week.  So far I’m down 11.2 pounds for the year and 27.1 pounds overall. 

I finally missed a day this year, after exercising 40 days in a row.  I was starting to feel overtrained – basically irritable and always tired.  So I took a day off.  I am now going to take off every Friday.   

For eating, I focused on not eating 2 hours before bedtime.  I think this is why I lost weight this week.  I didn’t eat horribly this week, but I didn’t eat great either.  I was resigned to the fact that I probably wouldn’t lose weight this week because and yet I did just fine.  I will continue making not eating late a priority.

I worked out hard on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday; then did very little the rest of the week.  I just didn’t feel like it.  Hopefully I will now be rested and ready to work hard this week.
