Today I had another mentor meeting, and it went really well. Both Ms. Maddren and I are on the same page about how my goals have progressed and where my project has taken me. At this point I realize that losing weight is much more vital to me than running a five and 10K. Although they still may remain as benchmarks in my project, I think my main priority right now is losing weight.
During our meeting we also talked about better ways to stay on track of my progress over the 16 weeks. We came to the conclusion that weekly weigh-ins are the best way to track my weight loss. Ms. Maddren mentioned that weighing in too often can be problematic, and the numbers can just go to your head, adding stress on to your life and thus not losing weight effectively. I think this has been a problem for me, although it's nothing I've thought about. I'm hoping that weekly weigh ins are effective and I'm excited for that.
Also, I've been trying to consume more healthy foods during this experience. I plan to add a research tab on my blog in the next coming days and research different nutrition plans, and see if one is right for me. I do enjoy eating fresh fruits and vegetables, but I want to see if there are different ways of preparing them that I would like to add some healthy variety to my diet.
