Hot 100 Week 11 Update

Wow this year sure is going by fast!!

  1. Nurture my Body, Soul & Mind
    • I really need to spend some Me, Myself & I time every day and focus on grounding myself. When I am not grounded I find I swing all over the place. I'm unorganized, stressed, a little more negative towards myself and possibly judgmental to others.
      • Week 11 (Dec 3rd-Dec 9th): (B) I didn’t spend as much “me” time this week but I’m still feeling relaxed and non-stressed. This is a good state to be in.
  2. Put 110% effort into my 3x strength training sessions, and 3x Interval cardio sessions
    • In the last 2 years, I do not feel like I have worked at my hardest during my workouts. I've just been going through the motions. Now some days my body aches, and my muscles are sore but I still feel I could do more. I am going to try to do my absolute best without burning myself out. And in order to not burn out, I need to make sure that goal #1 is a priority.
      • Week 11 (Dec 3rd-Dec 9th): (B) I worked out pretty good this week and got in one Hot Yoga session. Was going to go last night but ended up going Christmas shopping instead. I know – relaxing versus crazy shopping but I feel less stressed getting the shopping done. I’ve got 20 people to buy for and usually I wait until the last minute. This year is different and I’m feeling a LOT less stressed about it. I’ve been getting in 3 Interval sessions and am really enjoying doing them. My speed spurts are getting faster and faster and boy do I sweat. J
  3. 90/10 rule for eating.
    • 90% of the time I want to eat organic, clean, healthy meals. As few chemicals as possible. 10% (or less) of the time will be my leeway. Those times where either the supply isn't available or I just need a "free" meal. I loathe to grant myself a free "DAY" as I can quickly undo everything I have gained during the previous six days of eating 100% on track.
      • Week 11 (Dec 3rd-Dec 9th): (A) Because of Allan’s challenge (and my determination to get this right), I’ve eaten pretty good all week. I did mess up on the weekend because we were “Kid” free and had sushi twice, and went out for beers but since Monday I’ve been right on track. OK, well maybe not 100% on track because last night I had popcorn after dinner. Mr. Sandra just isn’t taking me seriously enough with this and waved a bowl of popcorn in my face and although at that moment I did say “no thank you I’ve had my calories for the day”, later on I did grab a couple of handfuls. It was on my mind at that point and seeing the bag out on the cupboard, well I gave in.
  4. Track an average of 10,000 steps every day.  
    • Every day is not too much of a stretch. Even on easy days where all I want to do is walk, then I will walk 10,000 steps worth. That's only about an hour of walking really. It can be done.
      • Week 11 (Dec 3rd-Dec 9th): Well I got my FitBit and started to wear it on Wednesday. So from this day forward I will have some statistics.
  5. Stop being wasteful.
    • Sometimes at the end of the week I throw out more bad fruit and veggies than I should be. I need to learn to only buy what I need for a couple of days and then make sure I eat it. I hate waste and I sometimes over-buy a product and it goes bad by the time I eat it. I live close to a grocery store so I should only buy a couple of days’ worth.
      • Week 11 (Dec 3rd-Dec 9th): (A-)  I’ve done pretty good this week not wasting the veggies but eating them all J

I hope you are all having a great week!
