So I haven’t managed to kick it into gear yet, so I’m changing things up a bit. I am going to do an 8 day challenge. Kind of like a kick-start program. Lots of things happening at the same time, to challenge myself to really push through. I might not hit every task 100% each day, but as long as I feel like it was more successful than not I earn a dollar. I could earn $8 this week!

Each Day –

  1. Drink 125 oz water
  2. Eat on my meal plan, only on my meal plan
  3. Some form of exercise every day
  4. Eat zero sugar in the form of chocolate, baked goods, etc.
  5. Take all of my meds and supplements

All of this will be hard, but it is short term and with so many things going on I will likely do really good with some and let others slide. I operate really well in this type of arena, I feel much better about things if I get 75% of 100 things, vs. if I get 100% of 3 things done. Just the way my head works. The idea is that it will take a huge amount of focus to keep all of these things going and  I will be going out of town next Thursday so there is an end in sight, with a built in reward at the end! My thought is that putting in so much effort this week will make next week feel easier, plus it will kick-start all of the healthy things I need to be doing and will help me feel ok for travelling. Traveling can be a challenging experience in my condition – easy to get dehydrated, lack of easy access bathrooms, challenging to find food I can eat, nerves, etc. If I am at a good place physically before I start traveling it is much easier to maintain.

I will try to touch base in a few days to keep myself accountable – around the mid-week point (Sun/Mon)…
