Review of Week 2

On to week 3. So how are we doing? It’s time to look back and look forward.  What did we accomplish in week 2?  Where did we fall short? And what do we plan to do about it? Plan for consistent effort over time. 

Week 2 was yet again challenging for me in terms of schedule. I learned over the past few years that January is a hard month for resolutions. It is one of my busiest times of year professionally and moderately busy personally. I completed 3 of 5 7 Min Seshes and 1 of the 2 Cardios.

Here are my short and mid-term goals for Week 3: 

• This week, I will complete the 7 Min Sesh+ Plan.

• For the next 4 weeks, I will reduce caloric intake by an average of 300-600 calories per day and keep a food diary including macros (week 3 of 4).

• In 6 weeks, I will have lost 5 lbs (week 3 of 6).

To accomplish this, I will continue to incorporate these habits or changes:

• Start the 7 Min Sesh+ at 6am each week day. 

• Complete a food diary before bed each night.

• Implement an average 300-600 calorie deficit per day.

On to week 3!
