The Good

Started off the year with a couple of hikes this month and one bucket list hike
I salvaged the month in terms of steps, activity, and overall trajectory
After battling the flu and trips, I managed to get back to my routine
I beat January 2019 for steps, days of activity, miles of walking/hiking/running
Lifting more weight and feeling more confident about my presence in a gym
Seeing slight results from gym/food adjustments
I don’t feel deprived of food, fun, or life due to being conscientious about my food intake
I have developed habits already, and continue to do so daily
I’m down 11 lbs since the start of January, which is not the main goal, but certainly helps keep me motivated

Started the year with a severe cold or flu issue - making walking, running, training, hiking, and just about everything difficult or impossible because I was also working 13-14 hour days out of town so I just needed to rest instead of pushing myself
I did not run much in January, but that will change in February
I had a few days when I just said “fuck-it” and that is something NOOM is helping me overcome, honestly.
I did not exactly hit my daily activity goal in the way I wanted, so that will be a major focus in February by adding more activity in the mornings.
Many nights were lacking in sleep. I have a plan for this issue.

I was feeling VERY defeated in the beginning
Routine makes me happy and getting back to it saved me this month
Writing in my journal daily is a vital piece to maintaining my sanity
Exercise is when I clear my head - lifting makes me focus on breathing and just doing the damn thing instead of worrying or hurrying
Despite the stress of work keeping me tense for ten days, I made it through the month quite well and upbeat
I was away from my bed for 17 nights and it really taught me how to chill out and just accept things in life. Silly, but true.

I am on track. I have clear goals and specific plans to achieve them.
I am tracking my food. I’m tracking my food every day, even if it is one of those days I have too much of a good thing. Keeping my food log keeps me honest and makes me want to do well with my choices.
My coworkers are working out. Honestly, I have the coolest friends at work who work out at lunch and have taught me so much.
January was a win. I would have liked to push myself more, and I did let working out of town kind of slow me down a little, but the month was an overall success. I hit some goals and have adjusted others. I learned how to function out of town and still live within my food and exercise program.

Read/Listen to at least 1 book per month
I didn’t quite get through a book in January, so I’ll have to double down in February.
Drinking more water
My water intake in January was lower than it should have been, so I’m trying to focus in on that in February
Take 2 days off from social media
I’m going to have to work harder with this in February, January was a complete miss
More jogging There will be WAY more jogging in February as I embark on my training for a 10K (so first, I will focus on actually running a mile… crawl before you walk)
Working on increasing my daily average for activity I hit over 11k per day on average, but there’s room to grow here.
More adventurous hikes - I have a few spots in mind.
We will be camping as a family in Caprock Canyons State Park - back to Fern Cave I go!
Continued daily mindful breaks and reading The Awakening I’ve read my “The Book of Awakening” every day in January and entered writing daily in my journal.
There’s no reason I can’t hit 100 miles for February. Only 60 in January, so what’s 40 more?
I am aiming for 50%+ vegetarian. I’ve been pretty good about breakfasts being vegetarian, but I haven’t mastered the lunch and dinner yet.
