Have I given up? Not really. But I must say that reporting everyday makes a big difference for me making health changes. When I started this blog in November I was able to start drinking lots of water, taking vitamins consistently, exercising, eating healthier food, being mindful of my sleep. I ended up weighing 5 lbs less after the holidays than I did before. Contrast that with last year when I effortlessly gained a rather alarming 14 lbs over the holidays.
On the other hand, in the last few weeks when I haven’t been reporting I’ve lost almost all those positive changes except taking vitamins. They petered out slowly with exercise hanging on by a very tenuous thread–meaning I exercised one day last week and could conceivably exercise sometime this week. And I’m still eating fruits and veggies.
So what to do? I guess I could start by resolving to make an appearance here on this blog daily and then see what happens. The health areas I’d most like to improve right now are sleep, exercise, and eating fruits and veggies. So maybe I could start with those.
