MMEWJ - day 16

(205.3)

Thursday Jan 16, 2014 

So my workshop "Move More, Eat Well" is on day 16, and I am still going strong. There have been a few hiccups along the way and a few days I've not been super motivated, but overall I'd say 12 of those 16 days have been great. It is the weekends that aren't the easiest, as I noted in an earlier post.

The thing it is really doing for me is raising my self awareness, and without self awareness I can not change. So this workshop is good for me, and my long term goal of living a daily healthy lifestyle.

Also, It got me to get off my rear end last night and get my steps in :) My husband thought I was nuts running up and down stairs and circling the basement to get in my steps. I have 2 goals 1) is for my MMEWJ and the goal is to get a minimum of 6000 steps per day, the other 2) is my FitBit goal and it is to get a minimum of 8000 steps per day in.

Yesterday I got the 6000 in and then said, what the hell, its only 2000 more... so I did it. Yay ME!!!

although it made me 'lose' one of my daily healthy habits of getting a minimum of 7 hours sleep per night. Because I didn't get to sleep until 11:30pm, and I woke up at 6:00am.

I resolve to get better at this.

tonight I have the gym (and I will stay to do my cardio). I love my gym days, and have decided to add another gym day (Friday nights) to the schedule, because it really does make me feel good. I would love to be able to do a Yoga class on Fridays and then 35 minutes of cardio, that would be my dream... I'll have to research where I can get this mix.
