Tuesday: Plans

On the Social Workout website, I am a member of a health-minded community. 

I choose goals that appeal to my physical and mental health.  I keep track of my goals by logging them in daily/weekly/monthly, depending on the duration of the particular goal.

Here are some of the goals I am interested in attempting:

Yoga Practices - 3x per week.
Journaling - 3x per week.
Running - 60 minutes per week.
Jumping Jacks - at least 1 minute each day.
Juicing - 4 juices per week.
Exercise (home workouts) - 2x per week.
Making my own food - 7 days per week.
Getting out of my comfort zone - 1x per week.
Hugging (for Violet purposes) - 2x per day.
Reading - at least 30 minutes per week.
Spending time outside - 15 minutes per day.
Unplugging - 1 hour per day.
Walking - 10 minutes per day.
Workday Stretching - 1 break per day.

I am not really sure when I will start trying to make these things part of my day but I am thinking pretty soon. 

I've noticed so many side effects of not eating well + not moving my body and it has been getting worse lately.  Sometimes I like to deny that it is my fault and I blame old age.  But honestly, I know the "symptoms" could be avoided with just a few mindful changes.

My skin is terrible.  Blemishes, redness and dry patches.  My facial skin is just awful.
Hair is flat, oily and lifeless.
I've gained several pounds over the past few months.  I am not sure of the exact number gained but most of my clothing no longer fits me comfortably or at all.
I have no muscle mass anymore.  My legs are wobbly and dimpled.  My stomach pokes out and the double chin I sport makes me sad.
I am tired a good part of the time.  I should have abundant energy, if not for me, for Violet.
I drink a ton of coffee.
I buy fast food drinks.
I waste precious money on bad food choices.
I listen to really bad pop music on the radio.
I never sweat anymore.  Zero exercise!  Walking up the stairs at work makes me winded.
I waste my free time.
I rely on sugar (candy!) and caffeine to get me through the day.
I cannot sleep, so I take sleeping medication almost every night now.
I am distracted a lot.  Restless. Grumpy.  Purposeless.  And anxious. 
The list goes on and on.
