Hot 100 Wk 13

I’m late

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 13 (Dec 17^th-23rd): (D) A lot less tense this past week but not enough me time – in fact less than normal. Mr. Sandra’s youngest was with us all weekend and right up until today (Boxing Day). And it was his birthday on the Monday but on the weekend I planned a little party for him. He used to always tell me his Mom never got him a cake for his birthday so for the last few years, even if we didn’t have him on his birthday, I always made sure we did something that ended in a cake. This year we went bowling as well. And Mr. Sandra’s daughter (24yr old) came out to stay for the week before Christmas. She is living in another province right now and came to visit for Christmas. Anyway…my point really is that is I spent very little me time and lots of keeping others happy time :)
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 13 (Dec 17^th-23rd): (B) I worked out on the weekend, went to Hot Yoga on Tuesday but the rest of the week was a wash. I really need to pick it back up again now that the busy holiday season is over. I will have more “Me” time and that means I can get my exercise in. 
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 13 (Dec 17^th-23rd) (C) I sure did not do as good as I could have this week. Eating the Chinese food on the weekend certainly didn’t help.
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 13 (Dec 17^th-23rd): (C) Some days I managed to get some good steps in, other's just wasn’t there. Need to really pick this up. MY Fitbit is really showing me 2where I need to work on getting more active.
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 13 (Dec 17^th-23rd): (C-) My extra fridge kicked the bucket and although I mostly just had liquids in there, I did have a bunch of veggies and fruit I threw out a lot. The freezer portion is working but not the fridge part. Sucks for Xmas leftovers…
