What have I done well this week?
What did I do well this past few days? Ummmm…. yeah. Let me think. Okay. I’m reaching here.
- I have written in my journal a couple times.
- I updated a few goals on 43 things.
- I’ve read through some of my old posts trying to see where I need to make changes.
- I have actually done 30 minutes of exercise 2 different days.
- When I ordered fish and chips tonight I ate half of the serving. Deep fried… greasy. I felt guilty and realized I should have ordered something a whole lot healthier. Quiting at 2 pieces and about 1/4 the fries, I felt like yay… I can quit eating the garbage and next time I will remember to order something healthy.
Where I want to make improvements this next week:
- Drink more water
- exercise 30 minutes each day
- No soda!
What have I learned this week?
Oh my goodness! This isn’t one day at a time… it’s one hour at a time! I don’t remember it being so difficult to stick to my plan last summer! Maybe it was and I simply forgot? Or maybe I was completely motivated last summer and this summer, I am not all that motivated. I don’t know what it is, but I’m telling ya, this has been difficult at best.

Hey, one day, one hour, whatever it takes!

Thanks John! Whatever it takes… that’s my motto for the moment.

There are definitely times when the journey is easier and times when it is tougher. You did well by not eating all of the fish and chips. Learning to eat less, to leave stuff on our plates is one of the hardest lessons! I have trouble with that, but sometimes, sometimes I manage it.
Take it an hour at a time and a meal at a time. It does get easier as it becomes habit.

Thanks! How long do they say it takes to form a habit? I think it’s 20something…
I’m having an easier go at it this week. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been here and learned good habits once before, or if I’m more focused this week, than I was last week. Maybe it’s all the encouragement I’ve been receiving along with all the wonderfully inspirational blogs I’ve been reading.
Okay, didn’t mean to babble… thanks for your support! I really, really appreciate it.
