Sparkdiet: Day 7

But Val, when I count on my fingers, the numbers go 4, 5, 6, 7.

I obviously missed a day.

I'm done with my first week of the book version of the Sparkdiet. I should be full of momentum and ready for the next stage. But I don't feel that way at all. Maybe it's because I suck, and I didn't meet my goals this week.

Or maybe it's because I always feel under prepared. I'm going to take a moment to review and re-align my point of view.

I wrote a blog post 5 out of 7 days, and even did two posts on one day. Goal? The book suggested 5/7 days, so... Met.

I packed my lunch most days this week, and the days I stayed at home, ate here. Goal two? Check.

The goal of working out for ten minutes did not get met the majority of the time. I did Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday... and that was it.

The next stage is about getting my nutrients right, in addition to continuing with the goals I should have met this week.

Sunday is a new day. And habits are about continuously doing things, so, I'll keep chugging away at the exercise thing. 2/3 is a decent track score. Passing.

I need to start thinking about a reward for the end of my four weeks, and little rewards for meeting small goals. I think I might create a "prize box" for small goals-- little slips of paper entitling me to a bubble bath, or an hour of TV. Because honestly, I would do well by myself to start using Netflix as a reward instead of a time suck.

Bring on Stage 2. :)
