Week Two

Decision Making Process

• State the situation: Should I run in the morning
  
• List the options: sleep in and exercise in the afternoon, run in the morning, sleep in.
  

• Weigh the outcomes: sleeping in and working out later is a good idea, but I don't think I like that as much, I like running in the morning, helps to give me energy, sleeping is feels good, but mentally, I am not a fresh, and tend to feel guilty if I do so
  
• Values: I love to run, especially in the morning. I feel better about me, and usually have better days. I value a healthy body, and this helps to meet that need.
  
• What was your decision?: I decided to run
  
• Evaluate: I think running was a good choice. We had about 45 minutes of running time and it was a great workout. I am looking forward to running again on Friday!
  

Positive Lifestyle Factor: eating nutritious foods including a healthy breakfast

• I enjoy breakfast very much. I have been able to enhance this positive lifestyle factor by eating breakfast each day this week.
  
• I have not made the best choice avoiding dessert. I like it very much too, and even though I run and keep in shape, I would rather not have these extra calories. I will try to have better will power in this area by keeping my thoughts positive and focusing on my goals.
  

Goal Setting

• I have made progress in putting the live strong website on my toolbar, and tracking my calories on Saturday.
• I have not been able to track my calories much this week, and have been finding that it is hard to remember what I ate the previous day. I will have to do a better job of scheduling this time.
• I have learned much thus far. Most importantly that getting this goal accomplished will take much self control and discipline. I look forward to seeing if I can accomplish this goal by the end of the trimester.
