W1D1 of C25K and SWOT

You may be thinking WTF! Did her fingers lose control on the keyboard when she typed the title? Nope! I completed day 1 of week 1 of the Couch to 5 K program! And I just got home and I feel GREAT! I have attempted to complete one day of the program and could never do it. But today I was able to!!! Yay me!! AND I didn't have to modify the program!!! Woo Hoo!!! I ran a total of 9 minutes!!! There was a time I couldn't WALK for 9 mins!!! I feel great...like I could conquer the world!!! So tomorrow I will do a bit of upper body weight training. I've read many articles that you should alternate your cardio days from your weight training days in order for your body to get a FULL body workout. Just keep that in mind next time you are planning on going to the gym or a home workout.

SWOT:
I know you are thinking "what the!?!?!?" A SWOT analysis may be a regular post for me and I encourage you to do the same.

Here is what it means:
Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Threats

So my SWOT analysis for last week was the following:
Strengths: worked out during my vacation and stuck to my weight loss plan 80% of the time. Lost 2 pounds on vacation!
Weaknesses: McDonalds on travel days this week. Convenience is my weakness. Not drinking enough water another and drinking fruit drinks (big no no).
Opportunities: Prepare more portable convenience foods for traveling and plan the best places to eat while on plan to stay within net carb goal. Drinking more water.
Threats: Birthday cake, and sparkling grape juice brought home after Maddy's birthday at mom's. Poor food planning.

Doing a SWOT analysis may help you identify what is keeping you from achieving your next goal. If you have time just do a quick one of how you did last week? Did you stick to your plan? Did you achieve your goal? Why or why not? It's best to keep a journal so you can see how you progress!!

Best of luck!
