let's make habits: week 4



UPDATE

Hello again, friends! Congratulations! We are half way done!! :) I hope you're all doing well this week - I'vw loved reading each of your goal updates throughout the week as you would link them. It's one of the highlights of my week, because it's so encouraging to me.

For me, as I told you yesterday, I was feeling a little under the weather this week. So, instead of pushing myself extra hard, I focused on eating healthy and taking long power walks with my husband every night. So, although I didn't adhere to exactly what I was planning for this week, I still feel like I stayed on track and was able to get my body healthy again. You know, this happens in our lives. We plan and things happen and we have to adjust. Sometimes this discourages us so much that we just want to give up completely. But keep going!! It might mean you need to slow down for a short period of time, but keep going because you will be so glad that you did.

EVALUATING YOUR GOAL AND ADJUSTING

When thinking about evaluating my goals to see if I'm doing well or I need to adjust, I think it's important to be realistic, but not give yourself a way out of doing the hard work. You want to be proud of yourself at the end and not feel like you slacked off or made excuses. For me, I'm going to continue my plan. I like that my workout plan doesn't have a certain amount of miles per minute that I have to reach. That way, I can read my body and see where I'm at and push myself accordingly.
