One Month Down

I'm awfully late with this, but I figured it was time for an update on how I'm doing with my 2007 goals. Here we go...

Weight and diet: I'm doing pretty well, probably a 4 on a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the highest. I'm down 9 pounds in 5 weeks, and I'm doing above average at limiting my daily calories to the 1800-2000 calorie range. Weekends are tough, when I'm home and around food, so I need to work on a strategy there.
Walking: My goal is 20 miles/week, and I'm definitely below that. Work and other life responsibilities have made things pretty stressful lately, which means less sleep and less energy, it's hard to get up in the morning to walk very far, etc. My average is about 16 miles/week. I think I'm turning a corner, though, and February's numbers should be an improvement.
Cross training: I'd rate this a 1.
Strength training: Ditto. I need to be more proactive with these two, and actually schedule days I'm going to do them.

So overall, I'd say I'm about a 3 to 3.5. Not bad, but there's room for improvement. Either way, I'm definitely taking steps toward getting back on track with a healthy lifestyle, so I'm feeling good about that. We'll see where I am in another few weeks.
