It’s healthy you challenge week 12. It has been a busy and tiresome week. I didn’t get much exercise as I would like to. I was pumped up and excited to go to the gym, but then I lost my motivation when the car didn’t start. So last week I didn’t go to the gym at all. I lifted weights at home and headed up to a walking trail for a walk in the woods instead. It was calm, quiet and very relaxing.
I think I might have taken a big leap trying to shed all the diet mentalities at once. I’m going to step back a little bit with my plan. I’m going to weigh myself every week because I need something to work on, for now. And I’m going to scale back the exercise too. Currently I’m doing about one hour everyday (except on the weekend). I feel that’s a little bit too much. I yawn every time I lift weight! That’s a sign of boringness.
This week I’m going to try Mark’s 10/10/10 exercise solution to see if that would fit me better. Oh by the way, I’ve new design on my blog. I’m really happy with it this time.

I like the mindset here. We shouldn’t try to overdue things even if we are pumped up a lot. We can scale back and still continue great progress. Changing things up frequently helps keep us motivated.
Way to go!
It’s always good to take a step back and reevaluate what you are doing. Keep making healthy choices!
;;) Hi I’m from HYC and thought I would say hi! I’m reevaluating myself as well. Trying to get back in the swing of things. Oh where did you get that chart. What a great way of keeping up with your info!
Bobby – Maybe I’ll need to make a double plan to keep myself motivated all the time =)
MamaBearJune – I’m trying to remember that making healthy choices is the most important. But sometimes it’s difficult. Thanks for a reminder =)
mary beth – Thanks for dropping by and saying hello. Do you mean my goals chart? It’s joesgoals.com. Ever since I’ve used it, I’ve been better at keeping up with my goals
Thanks for the comment on my blog. I think scaling back sounds like a good idea. An hour every day is quite a bit. If you don’t like it, you can always go back to exercising more.
Laura Jane – I guess I’m still in “all or nothing” thinking. I need to find a balance…
