5-5-5 progress yesterday, hopefully more today!

May 23rd, 2012 at 09:05 pm

Yesterday after work I walked up the stairs to our condo, so that's 4 out of 5 for that activity and 20 out of 25 for the challenge as a whole! I hope to do some free weights tonight after work.

I need to come up with a new challenge for June to hopefully keep the momentum going. I wish I could say I'll just work out naturally from now on, but I know that's not the case.

I was thinking about getting involved in SparkPeople -- I've joined but never done much with it. They recommend calorie counting, which I find so tedious for cook-from-scratch meals with tons of ingredients that don't have nutrition info labels, but maybe it would help me scale back my eating so that my working out actually had an effect on the scale.

    Check out Fitday - one seems to be able to plug ingredients and get a calorie/nutrition profile. If you make the same dishes routinely, you can save the setting.

    Thanks baselle! I think Sparkpeople has that function as well. I just feel tired thinking about measuring the olive oil, pasta, beans etc. rather than just eyeballing everything, and then figuring out how much is in a serving that I myself eat (since we cook a big mess for all of us to eat with leftovers sometimes).

    A lot of times we do use a recipe. But for Mexican and Italian especially, I'm used to just throwing stuff together with no measurements. Guess that's what's got my weight plateauing, huh? Smile
