Be-YOU-tifully YOU Project: Week #4

Hello My Dear Darling Friends!

We have reached the final day of January 2018, but it is still only the beginning of a beautiful year!

This past week was decent.  I did a great job of eating healthy meals throughout the day, but I must say that I was haunted by the midnight munchies and they had a lot of power over me this entire week.

It was also the week that I tried giving up exercise completely to focus on nutrition.  I can see how this approach could be very effective especially once I got into a consistent routine, but it gave me a lot of extra time and I wasn’t sure what to do.

A lot of my cravings were fueled by habit.  Most of the time I was’t even hungry, but if a snack or food was offered I didn’t say, “no thank you.”

I decided to let myself have these last few days of January to be a little less strict and work things out.  Tomorrow I am going to get back on track.  I think that I will  also set a rule for myself like, “No eating after 7 pm.”

My break from exercise lasted up until Sunday morning and then my friend Tara invited me to go for a swim on Sunday night.  I decided to start my day with Buti Yoga and my energy started to soar.  Swimming felt amazing and I am so glad that I decided to go!  Tara and I have created a schedule that will soon turn into a routine of swimming on Mon/ Tues/ and Thurs!!!  We went for our 2nd swim on Tuesday and we are swimming again tomorrow!!!

JANUARY:

DISCIPLINE

• Get your beauty sleep.  Still doing a great job with this, but still need to wake up earlier.
• Follow a morning ritual and a nightly routine.  I didn’t really do this at all this week.  I think having a set routine will help me to keep my munchies in check 😉
• Complete homework early.  I also need to get more homework done.  This goes back to needing a routine.
• Commit and follow through promptly.  This wasn’t great either.
• Create a healthy routine. Not really.
• Eat Clean. About 50/50
• Plan ahead and prepare (keep a food journal and write a daily schedule).  I’ve done better with this on past weeks.
• Exercise daily.  Nope.
• Do what you Must.  Thank goodness tomorrow is a new month!

This past week, my goal list turned into a bunch of things that need work and I am okay with that.  I set many big goals for myself so that I am more likely to reach a few in the process.  I am happy about the fact that I am stressing less and able to move forward quicker than I could before.

I am looking forward to February and am ready to bring my BEST!!!

FEBRUARY:
