Weekly goals!

I have to admit last week was the hardest week so far! But, it is getting better. I am constantly sore. I am really pushing the workouts. I think the Wii Fit Biggest Loser game finds my weakest muscles and works those muscles the hardest. The wfbl game has me working out every other day. On my days off, I do a less strenuous exercise. I have way more endurance and my clothes are VERY loose.
I am still sugar free. Today I wanted something sweet. No just sweet-sugar sweet. It was an intense craving but I got through it. I have been baking for my family and even if it has a little bit of sugar in it, I do not eat it. This is hard for me because I LOVED licking the batter spoon.
The weight is not falling off like it did at first. Now, I am working hard for every pound. Every pound is a huge victory and I am so excited when the scale says I am lighter.
I found a wonderful way to fight off a sweet craving. Last night I had popcorn made in coconut oil and I sprinkled xylitol (stevia or truvia would work too) and allspice on it! It was so good! Even my son loved it. =)
I did meet most of my goals for last week. I forgot my protein shake once but I made up for it in workouts. haha. I worked out EVERY day in some form! =)
Goals for this week:
1. Water, water, water-at least 48 ounces
2. Work out at least 5 days
3. Protein shake- (really helps with afternoon snacking)
4. Concentrate on portion control and calorie counting (I need to stick to my Biggest Loser calorie recommendations)
5. 10,000 steps on my pedometer every day (this means I will have to remember to wear my pedometer).
6. Make at least 2 new recipes-gluten and sugar free.
