Report Card for week one

Okay so how did I do? I am feeling pretty good but let's review the data. Since most of these were daily goals I will rate myself on a scale of 1-7 for each day of the week. The more points I rack up the better off I am. outine:

• 7 I will complete my morning and evening routine to take care of my body. Did this every day, even on Saturday night when I was so party sick
• 6 Sleep: I will sleep 11pm-6am 6 days a week, Mondays I will sleep in. Stayed up until 1am Saturday and I slept in Sunday instead of Monday but was out of bed every other morning before 7am, felt good!
• 5 Exercise: I will do a different exercise 6 days a week. Sunday I will rest. The schedule may look something like Mondays and Wednesdays: hockey or body pump Tuesdays: hot yoga Thursdays: WII and hockey game Fridays: skiing or swimming Saturdays: yoga Monday I did WII, Tuesday hot yoga and skiing, Wednesday hockey, Thursday WII and hockey but Friday we stayed home from skiing and Saturday I spent most of the day running around, I tried to make up for some of it by going for a bike ride on Sunday
• 5 Food: I will strive for a balance of 75% elimination diet foods and 25% foods my tongue likes ie: sweets, breads, pastas, cereals, butter, cheese, meats  I couldn't quite figure out how to record this so it might change as I go along but this week I simply counted up the total  foods eaten 21 off foods vs the elimination diet foods 86 for the week. That's 80% vs 20% assuming I did the math correct because I got a little lost in that simple arithmetic.  5% feels great!
• 7 Journaling: I will write every day either in my blog or my private journal. I will track what I eat. I did this every day, I love the livestrong website. It makes this so much fun. I am still trying to find my ground with my blogging. It is an interesting experience. I find myself focused on my diet and am thinking I probably use that to distract myself from deeper discoveries I could be making
• 3 Intimacy: I will be spend time every day being my authentic self with my family and friends. This obviously isn't a very concrete goal since I don't have a clue how to grade it, apparently needs to go back to the drawing board and revamp it to make it more specific. However I did feel myself let go of my wall I was using to close myself off from people, even those people I love that I felt safe with. I could feel my soul rejoin and feel myself take a huge sigh of relief to be whole again. I feel like I was able to be authentic at my Pilgrim Cove meeting, book club and Amanda's birthday party. It can sometimes be tempting to try too hard at social functions. I think I struck a good balance.
• 6 Spiritual practice: I will complete my Art of Living home practice every day. I will go to Thursday and Sunday weekly group Kriya. I will do my meditation practice twice a day, morning and evening. I will attend church or some other spiritual place every Sunday. This was one area that I felt like I really excelled at, did my home practice every day but missed meditation once and skipped church on Sunday, spent time outdoors instead that day but not really sure I was being reflective.
• 1 Silence: I will spend Sundays 6am-6pm in silence so that I might hear the messages being sent. Didn't do this at all
• 3 Responsibility: I will complete all tasks that I take on in a timely manner. I will continue to lead our church camp into success. I will spend 2 hours a day looking for a job or working on my business. I will spend time focused on my children in ways that work for them. This could use a bit more specificity but I gave up on my job search somewhere along the week. I got discouraged and let myself slack off. Although I did spend time with my kiddos I think I can do much better at that. All in all, I think I was very self involved this week. It was my birthday after all so I won't bother beating myself up for it:) Moving on
• 1 Self Esteem: I will continue my study of "Feeling Good". I will engage in daily positive self talk. I will create new affirmations for myself to use during this 60 day period. I will listen to Abraham cd's or uplifting music while driving. Well I did work some on my positive self talk but wasn't proactive about any of the rest of this. My Abraham cd's are still sitting unused, my affirmations are still in my head, not down on paper, and I haven't picked up the book at all

44/70 63% Wouldn't be too happy if my kids came home with that report card so I think I have to hold myself to the same standard. This week I will plan to focus on self esteem, my silence, redoing my authenticity goal. I will also stay strong on my 2 hour a day job search goal.
