Today I was checking more goals off my list, and I realized how well I am doing, especially with my fitness goals. Of my 18 total Health goals, I've completed 7, 5 are in progress, which only leaves 6 to get started on.
I'll start with those, as far as what I've completed.
#39. Keep a food and activity journal to aid with losing weight
I wanted to join weight watchers again because I know it works. I know it. But last year I let my subscription keep going and didn't use it. So Steven made a deal with me that if I could keep up with my exercise goals for a month that I could join weight watchers again, he would believe that I was serious about it again, and not just going to pay for something I wasn't using again. So in the meantime, I've been using myfitnesspal.com, and logging my food and exercise there. I've lost 5 pounds since I started my weight loss on Feb 8th, which is not nearly as good as i would want BUT I've still met some of my exercise goals.
#40. Make a list of things that make me happy
This is something I've been working on for a while, so you might have seen it before. Here is where you can read about these things.
☑42. Cook meals 3x a week for a month
I completed this a while back, but I've been keeping up with this fairly consistantly. Especially now that we are trying to cut back on our sodium as well as our spending!
☑44. Attempt to rid myself of anger and/or see a therapist
I've been seeing my therapist for probably 6 months now and I feel really good about it. She's someone I can be open with outside of my family who can help me move in the right direction in life.
☑47. Do a Zumba class
Completed this a while back as well, but because I loved the class so much, I bought the kinect game and I've been zumba-ing it up for a while now. Its such a great way to burn calories and have fun while I'm doing it.
#48. Do the 100 push up challenge
I just started week 5 yesterday, which means I should have just 6 more days (2 weeks) until I can do 100 pushups on my own. I can hardly believe it, because when I started I could only do 5.
49. Start doing pilates again 3x a week for two months (4/8)
I was doing so well with this one for a while! I was getting up in the mornings and doing my pilates and loving it, feeling great all day! Then I got sick a couple weeks ago, and got off track. I got up early enough to do it today but this DST crap has my sleep schedule off track so I just couldn't make myself do it. I plan to do it tonight, but it doesn't have the same effect as when I do it in the morning when I wake up. Still, I've been doing well!
☑50. Find a workout regimen I like and stick with it for 30 days or 10 weeks (30/30)
This one blows my mind. I was checking off all my goals every day not even thinking about this goal. I got to 30 days last tuesday, and I'm still going, so i'll also meet the 10 weeks goal... and again, I plan to keep on going. I've got a schedule set up through May, due to the Couch to 5k which i will be starting next monday (another goal I can check off!)
☑51. Eat a good breakfast every day for a week
I've done pretty well with this one over the course of the last month. I've slipped up a few times, but mostly I've been bringing my breakfast to work from home. So, again, I've kept it up over a week.
☑53. Complete the 200 squat challenge
I completed this today, my final test putting me at X total squats.
I'm so proud of myself!! I could do about 30 when I first started, so this is a huge difference from when I started. I feel great about it.
54. Cut out fast food for one month(5/30)
After hearing from the doctor that we need to cut back on sodium, fast food is a big no-no. So that was Thursday. Steven goes back in 3 months. I'd say we don't have fast food between now and then. Hopefully we can make it at least a month.
☑56. Spend more time outside
Pretty sure I finished this one last spring, but I'm pumped to re-meet this goal again this Spring. Which is right around the corner!
These are my progressions in the 'health' category! I'm feeling pretty darn proud of myself!
