2010 Assignment # 7 Progress not Perfection/ Daily and weekly


Assignment #7 Worksheet: Daily Win list

Day_Sunday__________

Date____2/14/10_______




Planned Action

1)give away the rest of the birthday ice cream and cake to the grandkids
2)go to the store and stock up on my good healthy foods
3)Take a pic of my healthy food sections in the kitchen
4)eat 6 small healthy and nutritious meals a day
5)Exercise even if I don’t feel like it or I am off work and don’t have to teach, Just do it anyway
6.)continue working on building my relationships with my daughters and my foster daughter that now lives with us
Reason Why

1)To be honest I have been slacking, this is my lifestyle and I am slacking and gained a few lbs back, I have to nip this in the bud . I don’t want my good habits of 5 years to unravel and slip slowly back into my old ways, it’s very very easy to do, Especially at age 56, you tend to think oh what the heck, who cares, well I care and my loved ones care that I am healthy, I don’t have to be a beauty queen, or look oh la la in a bikini but I do have to be healthy and I am blessed that I already am, I just have to continue my healthy journey.
2)When I eat unhealthy I feel bloated and retain salt which makes me look bloated also
3)When I feel burnt out on exercise and take a few days off, I actually feel worst. My back hurts from the 2 herniated disks and my hip and shoulder hurts from the pinched nerve and other muscles hurt from I guess the fibromyalgia..The few days off actually hurt me in the long run, I need the exercise to stay limber and have healthy strong bones and muscles. The time off is nice but not worth it.
4)When I take days off or vacation and eat unhealthy and don’t exercise, I get to a point where I want to stop this and get back into my routine, yet when I do I find it harder to get going again, it’s a very easy time for me or anyone to say, oh heck with it all and give up, but I fight my way back into my routine and within 2 or 3 days I’m back to energetic Linda
5)I have medical problems, 2 hernated disks, pinched nerve, curverture of the spine and when I ecercise regualy I don’t hurt and when I eat healthy I am regular on going to the bathroom, lol
6.) I want this house to be filled with love and homony
Actual

1) gave away a few pieces of cake left, threw out the icecream
2)When to the store and stocked up on healthy foods
3)took a few pics of my little healthy sections in the kitchen
4)Been eating healthy everyday this week, YEAH!!!
5)worked out, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and plan on going again today
6.Talking and getting good responses from my family, our house is a loving home again, things are really working out.
Win?

1)I’m back in my routine
2)I lost 6 lbs already
3)my kitchen is healthy not just pretty, lol
4)I’m back to being regular in the bathroom, lol
5)I feel energetic, healthy and alive
6.)The sturggles I faced with my daughter all of her struggles she was facing have come to a cease. Things are happy again, she is living home again and we all have a win win situation.

Assignment #7 Worksheet: Weekly review


Date_Sunday__2/21/10________


Accomplishment

1)Kitchen got a great late winter or early spring cleaning
2)my healthy foods are organized now, not just all over the place
3)Haven’t had junk food or even too much healthy food, I’ve been organized and in control of my portions
4)I haven’t had an alcoholic drink all week, by not being on track I was slipping into a night cap which I don’t want to start up again.
5)have 4 really good high intensity workouts and even ran a 5K on the treadmill on incline level 5 to 15. It took 46 min. but I did it and I was soaking wet and happy with myself.
6.) Winning the love and respect from my daughter was important to me, I feel we have together crossed the abyss to a higher and deeper and more meaningful relationship
Reason Why

1)To live a healthy , pain free life
2)To feel good
3)To be an example to my kids and grandkids
4)I need to keep up this journey not only for myself but for the members at the gym that count on me tobe there and help them
5)To be honest and be doing what I said I do, I don’t want to blog how everything is so perfect if it’s not, or say I’m doing all this exercise if I am really slacking, so I guess I could say to keep my self accountable and keep my word true to people that I encourage or inspire
6.) my dream has always been to have a good relationship with my family and a place where all my loved ones always felt this was home and could always come home no matter what.
Further Progress


1)at 56 it’s hard to say what other progress I can make, but I know I will make progress in some aspect of my life, this program is about mind, body, soul and spirit and I have room to let progress take over in all areas
2)Continue to eat healthy and workout
3)live the life I am proud for everyone to see me living
4)continue helping people on line and in my home community
5)contiune to work on my spirit and soul and mind to be free of mental adversities
6.) keep the peaceful loving home I have now to stay this happy.

Something I can do even more next week:
Eat cleaner, workout smarter, be a better example, contact people I haven’t hear from on t.com and see how they are doing, continue working on the fantastic relationships I’m having with my kids, grandkids and foster children. Let go of things that bother me as soon as they happen, don’t waste time on things I can’t control and just smile and be happy and feel free.
