Updates - Cynthia

I am amazed that I have been keeping a journal for 6 weeks. I don’t really look at it, but it’s good practice. I do see that I don’t take days off and for that reason, I get slower. A goal I have is to make my workouts “performance-based.” I did weigh myself today. It is the same. For me, I have to remember that I do not want to lose weight. And, I don’t want to gain weight.

My goals with this challenge are to take an honest look at my recreational drinking and sugar consumption, take time to meditate and to be flexible with the time I choose to meditate. No, I don’t do it everyday, more often than not, it’s just because I don’t feel like it. I would rather zone out with a 20-minute TV show then to zone in on me. However, since I just realized this, I will try to mediate tonight.

Another goal has been to take an honest look at my smoking. Why do I do it? Does it make me feel better or worse? Is the 5 minutes of smoking worth the half hour I spend thinking about why I do it. . . probably not? Awareness is first, action is second. Stay tuned.
