Healthy Habits in January Wk4

/ Getting Healthy 2024 / By

Week 4: January 22 to 27

I accomplished my goal of losing 2 pounds last week, I am down 9.2 after three weeks of a healthier 2024. I did not drink 5 cups of water last week nor did we start exercising however I am still happy with the weight loss. I am finding myself hungrier and craving sweet food after dinner, hence the fruit strips. Looking back at the week compared to the first two weeks, we definitely did not eat as healthy or natural as we had in the previous weeks. The dinner’s planned for this week look more like week 3. When we reevaluate our plan for the next four weeks (weeks 5 to 8), we will take a look at what we could change to do better.

My goals this week are two lose 0.8 pounds to aim for 10 total for the first four weeks. Start doing physical activity/exercise at least 3 days this week. Drink at least 5 cups of water daily.
