Day 9: Weekly Goal Update

Check in time!

This first week(ish) of the year has really been an eye opener. I’ve been eating clean and working out as planned. I’m feeling better about myself more and more every single day. I can already see a difference in the clearness of my skin and my shrinking waist line. I know some weeks will not be as amazing as this one, but I am striving to be the best I can be every day. One Day at a Time. Hope everyone had an awesome week. Good things are coming everyone's way this year. Let's keep working hard and staying healthy. My long term goals are still being chipped away slowly. I will post more when I cross one off my list. 

Daily Goals: 

• Eliminate pop from my dietBeside from a sip of a Wild Cherry Pepsi, I have not had any other pop. Giving up pop is a failry simple goal to stick to because to me, pop is a treat. I never really drank more than three cans a week if I was drinking it at all. Yay! 

• Work out at least five times a weekYup yup yup. Got my daily work outs in despite this brutally cold weather. Makes me feel really proud of myself that I am able to keep up with working out. I love working out more so because of the endorphin high and the sense of accomplishment I get afterward. Weight loss is 70% what you eat and 30% exercise. I love that 30% though. Yay!

• Get at least 8,000 steps a day on my Fit BitThis is the one goal that I need to work on the most. I've been doing okay, but okay doesn't cut it. Here's the breakdown of my daily steps. Jan 1: 648 * Jan 2: 9104 *Jan 3: 10212 * Jan 4: 4714 * Jan 5: 8473 * Jan 6: 7068 * Jan 7: 8684

•  Daily Record of Food Consumption in my Food Journal
  I love my food journal because it's a purple polka dotted Moleskin notebook. I also record my water intake, meditation time/reflections, and my total steps. Yay! 

• Blog every day for the entire 2015 yearYou're reading it right now. :) Yay! 

• Meditate at least three times a weekThis week I have meditated every day but one, which was the other day after I ate the pizza and felt dizzy. I'm loving taking about 15 minutes out of my day to recharge my mind and allow it to relax with some deep breathing and mindfulness. Yay!

• Journal dailyI should probably change this goal to journaling on the weekdays. I mainly get too busy during the weekend to take time to reflect. But I will start pushing myself to journal at least a page a day on Saturday and Sunday.
