My Second Week

Sucess is such a relative thing!

This week I have two squares on my chart staring back at me with no stickers. So in that sense, I suppose I did worse this week (though I was sick one of the days). Still it was much easier this week to keep going despite my missed work outs. The compulsion to view myself as a failure was not as strong and so I was able to continue through a setback. In that sense I was far more successful.

I will continue this last week with the same 7 day goal I originally set. Though next week when I reset my goals for the next 3 week period, I think I will make some adjustments so that the goal is a little more reasonable, but still increase my level of activity.

I have been 100% with my goal of eating breakfast everyday though and so I am very proud of that. Even the day I was sick and unable to keep things in, I made sure to at least have a glass of orange juice with pulp in the morning. A habit is definitely being formed and I believe I can continue to build on this progress. My next food goal will be to aim for preparing a proper dinner at least during week nights, so that I am eating a regular breakfast at breakfast time, and a regular dinner at dinner time (as opposed to the constant grazing I do all day now). I am going to take the stress of finding highly healthful recipes off me for night now and just concentrate on making dinner every night. I figure once I get my eating patterns reset, then I can tweak it with the more healthful goals (not that I'm striving to cook unhealthy stuff now).

So week 2 not so bad!
