Sleep and Food Mood Journal Roll

-
Wow, because of this journal, I want to eat less so I don't have to record that much. I'll provide the accompanying pictures of my new eating adventures in the next post. For now, take a look at how commitments and social gatherings really do me in with my eating habits. Plus, I didn't reach 10k steps every day in the last 5 days. I had instances of over-sleeping and under-sleeping. Ironically, in both scenarios, I tend to eat more throughout the day.

I will find ways to balance good sleep, hydrating, eating, and staying more active this week.

    Ah it is incredibly tough if everyone around you enjoys going out to eat a lot. But kudos for keeping up a journal and being more conscious about your food choices.

    You're definitely getting in fruit, which is good. It might be a better snack alternative since you feel guilty with the other snacks you've been having.

    Man you sure do drink more water than I get a chance to. Maybe that's why I'm always just a little bit thirsty haha.

Yesterday's Results The scale reads: 145 lbs. Goal: 137 lbs. The stupid Wal*mart pedometer reads: 3375 steps, 0.852 mi., 140 calories (Lies again - the pedometer reset with my notice) Other aerobic activities: Snoring :( My ma has one. My future mother-in-law has one. According to one website, "Neoprene belt helps shed inches and fat around the waist. Lose weight naturally around the waistline." So far, no offense to them, I haven't seen it work for either one of them. I honestly never worn belts. Even at a slimmer physique, I didn't care or need to wear belts. To this day, I love wearing baggy jeans, but I never sag. My hope is even if I lose weight, I wouldn't need to go purchasing new baggy jeans. What fitness accessories can help (I do know there are no one-stop-cure-alls out there) lose the weight "naturally?" So far I have ankle weights and small weighted gloves.

Last Month's Results The scale reads: 145 lbs. Goal: 127 lbs. I can't believe 8 weeks has passed already! Look what I have accomplished within that time: I've earned the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award ! See, I earned myself some golden stars! I could've technically had 7 shiny, golden badges of accomplishment, but I had forgotten to keep track of my steps while I was in Southern CA (The first week of the challenge). I think I actually did more walking during that trip compared to the last 7 weeks of this endeavor. I guess it was silly of me to initiate the challenge before going on the trip. Regardless, I'm content with the results because: I was able to reach my goal. I was dedicated to this endeavor and a positive result came of it. I got the award electronically . I wasn't going to dish out 6 buckos and some change to get the paper one with stickers and a badge. There were many stressful periods during the weeks, but I walked off most of t...

Progress Report Mind: Embracing walking meditations Making progress on that Headspace 365 days streak (Currently at a 25 days streak) Body: Leslie Sansone's 6 Week Challenge Soul: Doodling My, my. Coffee ice cream has kept me up for the last 4 hours. I am not a fan of this nervous energy. This caffeine sensitivity to a coffee extract is frustrating at the midnight hour. Anyways... The Jessica Smith love is still going strong through the last however many years. Her January 2019 challenge is infectiously encouraging me to try, try anything and everything again. My anchoring mantra for the year is "energy." Every day is an opportunity to get and spread more energy. My optimistic conscience is pushing for 365 days of positive energy! To this end, the new goal for the progress reports is to record the positive developments in mind, body, and soul with less nag and fuss, which usually deplete energy.
