So protein is spot on! For sure - woo! Carbs are pretty close and are definitely getting better and more in line! Fat was out of whack! I think it's the chocolate. And cheese. I can fix that! (with the chocolate - the amount I've been consuming is a bit absurd!!)

A Look Back: October Goals
1. Keep calories under 1,850 on days when I work out and 2,300 when I drink (6 high days or LESS). I had too many high days (again) – I had 8. Also, I think the calories need to be broken out further…
2. Walk 84 miles, and take Reuben on 3 neighborhood walks. Didn’t happen. We did 1 neighborhood walk and 71 miles. We’re going to try this again!
3. Do strength training 3 days/week. Didn’t happen, but this WILL happen this month– I’m all over it!
4. Do abs 2 days/week. Didn’t happen – but I’m making it a big goal this month!
5. Introduce 5 new recipes. DONE; will make 10 this month!
6. Read 4 books (including audio!). DONE; will read 3 this month.
7. Begin tracking cardio and ST in Spark People to utilize the new calendar tool. Didn’t happen… And I’m thinking it’s not going to. I’m just going to keep it on the blog!
8. Develop a meal plan for each week; track food the day BEFORE. DONE This is going very well – loving it!
9. Wear my new HRM at EVERY workout. DONE
10. Get down to 116 (i.e. lose 2 pounds) Will try, try again.
So.... I wish I had done a bit better this month. I realize that getting sick didn't help (with ST or abs or walking which could have impacted the weight). But I still felt like I really overindulged and had WAY too much candy this month. I'm going to try to stay more focused in November... I may even say "no reese's cups" for November!!
A Look Ahead: November Goals
1. Keep calories under 1,800 on days when I work out; under 1,600 on days when I don’t work out and under 2,300 when I drink (6 high days or LESS).
2. Walk 88 miles, and take Reuben on 3 neighborhood walks.
3. Do strength training 3 days/week.
4. Do abs 2 days/week.
5. Introduce 10 new recipes.
6. Read 3 books (including audio!).
7. Develop a meal plan for each week; track food the day BEFORE.
8. Wear my new HRM at EVERY workout.
9. Get down to 116 (i.e. lose 2 pounds).
10. Get with Austin – finalize House to-do list, attach timing and get quotes for things I’m unsure about (crown molding/lighting/etc.)
11. No Reese's cups.... I added this on. It's Nov. 3. I've already had 8. I'm DONE for the month.
So I’m thinking of adding a water goal. How much do you guys recommend? drinking daily?
