Measuring Monday week 3...+ mid-week breakthrough

I haven’t been on here in quite some time, but I thought I would update on my journey, like I said I would.

These past 2 weeks have had their ups and downs. The first week was...meh. Ok. I didn’t do that well in terms of working out or eating. 

The second week was rough. My goals for the second week were: 

--3 frozen mochas/wk

--gym 2x/wk

--7 hrs sleep 4x/wk

Negative:

-- caffeine withdrawal symptoms

--- Thursday morning, I woke up feeling like someone had physically beaten me up. I was achy, had a headache, felt exhausted, and was VERY sluggish that day. Friday was generally the same. Near the end of Friday, I kept asking my mom, “What’s wrong with me? Do I have the flu?” She had no clue. After dinner, I look at her and say, “Frozen mocha”. She immediately knew--the caffeine boost (whatever size it might be). I craved that bit of caffeine. I felt that I NEEDED that caffeine to get me through my day. When I suddenly didn’t have that source of caffeine, I turned to yet another awful drink: pop. Lots of it. It was a rough ending to a weird week.

--not pacing myself

---I have this tendency to not pace myself in terms of getting my frozen mochas and working out. I try to push it back as far as possible. For example, I'll get all my frozen mochas at the beginning of the week, and later in the week, the above symptoms happen. Same with working out. I try to work out the latest in the week I can. For example, I didn't work out this week until the last 2 days of the week that I possibly could.

Positive:

-- Getting to the gym at all

--- I went to the gym twice! Very exciting!! Those were good, solid workouts, too!

--ZZzzZZZs

---I got 7 hrs of sleep four days that week. I never thought it would make a difference, but boy, what 7 hours of good sleep can do for you!

--Controlling my frozen mochas

---Lastly, my favorite part--I only had 3 FROZEN MOCHAS!! This was a hard goal for me--I have tried to cut back on these before, but could never get below 4 a week.

This week, my attitude towards the mochas has changed. I don’t feel so dependent on them.

Here are my weekly goals:

Nutrition:

-- 2 frozen mochas/wk

Fitness:

-- gym 4x/wk

Health:

--7 hrs sleep 6x/wk

And weigh-in time:

Lots of confusion--deal with me.
