Reflections

I guess it was inevitable and only makes sense that the week I work less (following the week I work the most) shows the most losses and the least progress.  I did meet a new personal trainer this week that I'm hoping to begin working with soon.  The guy knows my background with being heavy and knows what to do to combat it.  I don't yet know how or if it will conflict with my Primal Blueprint lifestyle, but I'm willing to find out.

My diet was pretty spot on this week.  I got to make one new recipe from my cookbook (Baja Fish Tacos) that I'll be posting about soon.  I didn't take any other pictures of the food I ate, but I am working on it.  I stuck close to my diet this week and gave a shot at intermittent fasting (I.F) on Saturday, which I will also discuss more in detail later on.

Exercise was really lacking this week.  I just didn't have the normal motivation that I usually do to get out there and go.  It also didn't help having a conflicting schedule with my wife and being down to one car at the moment.  I'm going to look in to and focus more on doing body-weight exercises at home when I can't make it to the gym, or utilizing the wonderful resources I have outside.

Goals for Next Week

I'm going to do whatever it takes to lose that extra 5.3 lbs.  It may be a little over ambitious, and some would even say unhealthy to try and lose that much weight in one week, but I think I'll be alright.  This is personal.

My diet is going to be nothing but spot-on primal this week.  I'll also be doing a little more intermittent fasting, but not too much.  I don't want to scare my body into thinking that it needs to store fat!

I want to kick it in to high gear with my exercise this week.  I'm going to try and be active doing something every day.  It's going to take a lot of effort and motivation, but I know I can do it.
