Holiday Challenge: Week 1 Recap

The first week of my holiday challenge took place during Thanksgiving break. To say this was a challenge is totally accurate. It was a big challenge to start off this way!

I enjoyed Thanksgiving, the time with my family, and all of the leftovers, and now I’m working on getting back on track. Still, here’s an update on my challenge tasks from week 1, during Thanksgiving break.

Challenge Tasks:

  • Drink 90-120 oz of water daily

Realistically, I met this goal probably 4/7 days. I did make sure to get at least 60oz daily, though!

  • Walk for 60-90 minutes/week

I made an effort even during the craziness of Thanksgiving break, and got about 30 minutes in this week!

  • Track nutrition daily, 5/7 days each week

I met this goal! I tracked 5/7 days this week!

  • Blog weekly challenge updates

I met this goal, with today’s update!


Weight Loss Goal:

Maintaining my current weight is my first goal! My “shoot for the moon” goal is to lose 5 pounds!

Challenge start weight: 229 lbs.
Week 1 weight: 230 lbs.

Thanksgiving impacted this weigh-in, for sure. I am continuing on despite gaining a pound this week and I know I’ll see progress for it!
