Half way point OVERVIEW

THE GOOD:
EXERCISE and WATER INTAKE have been consistently good throught out the challenge.

THE IMPROVED:
MEDITATION: I've increased my meditation overall. First couple weeks were basically non-existent. These last couple weeks have been 4-5 10-min sessions per week. I've been able to use my backyard as a great place to give my mind a rest. I've figured out that when I wake up in the morning and remind myself that this is something I need to do, I find the time in a busy day to include a small amount of meditation.

FRUITS/VEG: Its still a challenge for me. I started this competition by using my blender in the mornings to create some smoothies, but then for some reason, my body began rejecting my Frankenstein concoctions. Who would of thunk it? So now its back to salads and remembering to include some vegetable in every meal I eat. It seems to be working better at this point. I have a banana or an apple a day as well.

THE BAD
ALCOHOL: I've have my good weeks, and I've have my bad. This last Saturday I over-indulged a bit. One thing I've been able to do is to push the moment I take that first drink as much as possible. It seems to help keep those number of drinks down. I'm no where near perfection on this, but I know I'm more conscious of the total number of alcoholic drinks than I EVER WAS BEFORE IN MY LIFE, which I believe is a step in the right direction. In addition, I've had offers to go out (Cinco de Mayo), but I insisted on not participating because I knew I would of had a cerveza or two. Maybe its not so "bad" after all.

JOURNAL: I started great on keeping up with my journal, but it for some reason (mood probably), it has decreased. But I think I'm back on track. No points if I don't do this part of the challenge.
