Reflection Week 2
Aug 09, 2014
Okay so last week I made some goals around my eating behaviours. I'm here today to report how I did this week and make goals for next week. I like to post it here because I feel it helps me to be accountable for my actions as I know others may read this. Last weeks goals were to continue with the previous goals set. ( no pop, 3 meals a day no skipping meals, increase water intake to 1.5-3 L water per day, start taking vitamins and only 1 ice tea per week) I then added the goals for this week to include no eating after 8-9pm, limiting my eating out to once a week and decrease my ice-cream trips. I feel I had a very successful week again. Yeah me !!!! I find these little goals being achieved empowering and it's building my self esteem. I was successfully in keeping all week 1 goals going. I drank no pop, drank at least 1.5 L of water per day most days 2.5-3L. I have been taking my vitamins everyday without fail, I had only one ice tea this week on Friday and I only missed one meal but that was due to an emergency I had to rush my partner to the hospital. This weeks goals were mostly met. I never ate after 8-9pm, I ate out only once on Friday at McDonald's and I chose a McChicken meal instead of my usual Double Big Mac meal although I did large size my drink which probably negated the better sandwich choice but still I ate out just once and I had ice-cream once but I found myself substituting frozen yogurt instead so I put a stop to that. I had ice-cream on Sunday as it was my daughters birthday and then on Monday and Tuesday I had frozen yogurt. Tuesday is went I realized what I was doing and put a stop to it. I did not eat any more ice-icream or frozen yogurt for the text of the week. Okay time to set goals for the up coming week. I will continue with week 1 and 2 goals plus add no fluid with my meals and slowing down my eating. I eat very very fast and I am usually the first one done even though I'm the last served so I will focus during my meals trying to be sure to chew each bite 20-30 times. I think I may struggle with this as I have always been told to hurry up while eating so this habit has been ingrained since childhood but I'm determined to kick this habit. Wish me luck :-) have a great week everybody :-)
