Sometimes when I feel like my life is running away from me, I spend a little time wondering about where I went wrong. I actively try and pinpoint certain things that I did to sabotage my progress. During my recent weight gain and mini-eating disorder relapse, I made a list of some of the things I did that I noticed create stress or bigger issues for myself. I found it to be extremely helpful, and it helped me locate all the places where I was going wrong. Try it out, it can be very informative.
Where I went wrong:
- not drinking enough water
- not drinking enough green juices
- not getting enough sleep
- eating too late at night
- not working out in the morning
- not sticking to goals
- not sticking to meal plans
- over-eating at one time, not spacing out meals
- doing the same workout repeatedly
- snacking while cooking
- not spending enough time outside
- not reading the Bible daily
- not stretching after every workout
- not recording every meal
- snacking on too many meal bars (Clif, Lara, Luna, etc…)
- not eating enough vegetables
- skipping yoga classes
- skipping school classes
- not cleaning up after myself
- not doing enough core work
- ignoring strength training
- skipping derby practice
- not walking my dog every day
- not spending my money wisely
