I’m a newbie in the blogging world, but I’ve come to realize
that if I state that I’m undertaking a challenge it is proper practice to
update on my successes and failures of the challenge. So here is an update on
my Week 1: Be Healthy and Week 2: Be Accessible progress.
Week 1: Be Healthy
Well, let me just say that eating no processed foods is
difficult, or at least it was for me. I think it would be possible with well
thought out planning, but when you start to look at how much food we (I)
consume that is processes…Wow. My first three days were excellent – I was
eating a lot of fruit and veggies in their natural form. However, mid-week it
wasn’t enough so I did “cheat” with some of my regulars, like cereal (yummm).
Overall, I’m totally satisfied with my efforts and new knowledge of processed
foods. I find now I am consistently making an effort to eat less processed
foods.
My supersize challenge this week was to practice yoga every
day – well I practiced 4/7 days. Okay, so not perfect, however when I looked back on
my practice schedule I did practice April 28, 29, 30 and May 1, 2, 3, and 5. So
that is close to 7 days in a row :)
Week 2: Be Accessible
Bye, bye facebook. I have SO enjoyed the reprieve from my
social network. I did connect via Skype and e-mail with friends at a distance,
and certainly spent time with my friends in person. In fact, I’m wondering as
this week’s challenge comes to an end if I even want to reactivate. I think for
me this week has helped break the habit of facebook, and in the future, upon my
reactivation, I will limit my usage.
The supersize challenge this week was to introduce a friend
to yoga. My friend Lynnette came to a Friday night Moksha class with me and she
did SO good! In fact, we spoke the next day and she is considering trying the
intro month this summer! I’d say this is a success!
Okay, so tomorrow will bring Week 3: Live Green – watch for
the blog update!
