Gah, I&#8217;ve lost track, and I posted last week as 8, when it was actually 7. Which would make <em>this<\/em> week 8. <\/p>\n<p>I should have numbered the calendar! I&#8217;ve made the change in the previous post.<\/p>\n<p>Week 7: Absolutely no change in anything (measurements or weight) this week. I have been drinking more water and about five of the dozen Dole Sparklers. I had portion control issues all week, so I am glad that nothing has changed, because it could have been real bad. <\/p>\n<p>Moving forward into week 8: the main challenge for this week (as I interpreted it) is not to worry about our numbers as much. The inches, the pounds, the minutia. How do we make our goals quantifiable without resorting to the numbers?<\/p>\n<p>Easy! I want to be alive to see my grandchildren. I want to be able to walk, to do things on my own, in five, ten, fifteen years.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to be my mother.<\/p>\n<p>Vanity-wise, I have a pair of jeans I&#8217;d like to fit, and a shirt I&#8217;d like to wear even just once more. Just to wear those clothes even for a day before I finally let them go (they&#8217;re a tad threadbare!). Those are my end-goals, sans numbers. <\/p>\n<p>To <em>get<\/em> there:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Continue with water<\/li>\n<li>Exercise! Draco and I need to sit down and define our needs here, as we&#8217;re supposed to be a sort of team for the challenge.<\/li>\n<li>Though I have given up with the food diary, I am going to continue to find low-fat, low-sodium, low-cal meals that are tasty. Particularly if it&#8217;ll involve the slow-cooker.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve found a special treat as a reward for &#8216;good behaviour&#8217;. A new recipe for fried chicken, that I actually fried. If I&#8217;ve stuck to my plan for the entire month of March, I will do this up for April Fools Day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I know, that last one was really not a responsible choice for someone trying to eat healthier and get fit&#8230; but better have one or two bad choices over a span of time, than constant bad choices all of the time. Once I&#8217;ve nailed the recipe to my personal liking (I&#8217;ve been tweaking) I&#8217;ll post it up.<\/p>\n<p>Until next week &#8211; good luck!  <|:^)\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Checking in for week whichwhat? 7? 8?
