Even with changes to improve my diet, I’m still at 188. So, i’m going to begin to incorporate more gym time into my plan. Hopefully this can jump start me, I need to play a bit of catch up on this goal.
I’ve got a lot going on. School, Work, Weight loss, The Budget Project, it’s not overwhelming, but it can be hard to be consistently attentive to many different goals, different, assignments, or even just customers at work.
The idea of clean week came to me when I was reflecting on this challenge. I remember thinking “if I could get everything right for just one week even, I’m sure it would motivate me to continue. It was called clean week in its infancy because initially I was focused on giving up drugs and drinking in efforts to “clean up my act,” so to speak. The idea of clean week has evolved, it’s definitely still about being clean in a physical way, but also in your behavior. Clean week has come to be an opportunity for me to put aside bad habits, poor decisions, and devote 7 days to behaving with integrity, treating my body well, and consciously living as the person I aspire to be. It’s really like sending myself to a mini mindfulness bootcamp.
So, I’m going to give it a go, and decided I’d put it on here. Rather than dropping an entire year on my plate, I’m just focusing on this week, one day at a time.
The goals of this clean week:
Log my Points, commit to a week of no diet cheating.
Attend to my budget, Buy as little as possible (discluding gas, coffee, or books)
Don’t smoke any weed.
Go to the library and do school work or read in my free time.
Be consistent in morning practice.
Crochet daily.
