Weekly Goal Assessment: End of Week 4/Beginning of Week 5

Due to a lack of willpower, I seemed to have failed a lot of my goals, mainly my junk food goal, my soda goal, and my calorie goal. I had 7 junk foods, 4 sodas, and exceeded my calorie goal 4 days this week. I did, however, assign specific days to exercise, but not times as I have different schedules almost every single day. My days for exercising are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday as of right now. I have been Food Journaling for almost a month now, but dieting for about 3 weeks, and due to my lack of willpower this past week, I did not lose very much during this last week, even though I have been implementing exercise into my schedule during periods of time that I'm more likely to snack Though this is a set back, it is okay to make mistakes when learning nutrition and going through a major change in your diet whilst trying to lose a large amount of weight. I will use the same goals again this week, and put forth more effort to hold to my goals so that I can see results.

Goals for Week 5:

1. I will slowly reduce the amount of junk food (i.e. chips, candy, etc.) I eat by limiting myself to 3 junk foods of any size or kind (as long as they do not exceed my calorie intake goals) during this entire week, 2 junk foods for the entire following week, and 1 junk food for every week after until I lose the weight I need to.

2. I will keep track of my soda intake, allowing myself only 1 soda a week of any size as to not affect my calorie count.

3. I will opt to walk whenever possible.

4. I will continue to try to exercise on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

5. I will limit my calorie intake to 1,400 calories daily.

Weekly Assessment Goals: Week 3

1. ONE soda for this entire week even counting my indulging for the week. (Size i.e. a can or a 20 fl. oz. bottle does not apply, and refills at a restaurant count as a second separate soda.)

2. Try to shoot for between 1300-1400 calories or less daily.

3. Try to walk more often, and faster when out at stores or going to the post office, and try to incorporate 1-2 walks this week not counting a weekly hike if possible at the nearby park.

4. Try to incorporate 1-2 30-minute walks that are designated as "exercise".

5. Try not to eat "sweets" as snacks, and replace them with yogurt, granola, or fresh fruit, unless it's the day you choose to indulge.
