• This check-in is for August 31st – September 6th.  What an exhausting long weekend!  In 3 days, I managed to bring my step count up to what I needed for the whole week.
• 10-Week Mindful Diet Plan for Healthy Eating? No, I followed the three-day beignet and coffee diet plan.
• I’ll now be working towards my new step goal of averaging 9K steps per day.

• This check-in is for August 24th – 30th.  What an exhausting week!  I thought the 1st week of school was supposed to be easy to give everyone the chance to get back into the swing of things?!  I think I’m going to scratch the 10-Week Mindful Diet Plan for Healthy Eating for now, especially since I’m about to go to New Orleans.
• Now that I’m back in school, I’m moving around a lot more.  Monday and Tuesday wiped me out to the point that I didn’t even have the energy to get up in time to do yoga on Wednesday.  The rest of the week just added to the exhaustion, so I slept and binge-watched the latest episodes of “Once Upon a Time” on Netflix.
• I didn’t meet my step goal (average 8K steps per day), but I did really well Monday through Thursday, and I surpassed my Active Minutes goal.  I’m hoping all the walking around New Orleans will allow me to knock my step goal out of the park.

• This check-in is for August 17th – 23rd.  I was still on Summer break, so I didn’t do week three of the 10-Week Mindful Diet Plan for Healthy Eating from Yoga Journal.
• I stayed indoors and participated in Bout of Books 14.
• Now that I’m back in school, I’ve picked my goals back up as well.  In addition to the diet plan, I’ll also be working on my step goal of averaging 8K steps per day.  I’ll only be doing yoga five times a week, though, since I haven’t been able to figure out a time to do it on Tuesdays and Thursdays without conflicting with anything else.

• This check-in is for August 10th – 16th.  I’m still on Summer break, so I didn’t do week three of the 10-Week Mindful Diet Plan for Healthy Eating from Yoga Journal.
• I’ve been staying indoors and out of the oven that is Texas in August.  Mostly, I’ve been gaming and reading, and the only exercise I’m getting is when I play with Dresden, the cat and when I clean.
• I return to school for my final semester next week.  I’ll pick my goals back up at that time.

• This check-in is for August 3rd – 9th.  I didn’t do week three of the 10-Week Mindful Diet Plan for Healthy Eating from Yoga Journal.
• I accomplished nothing this week other than a whole lot of reading and gaming.  This is my last Summer break before I graduate from college and have to return to adulthood.
• I return to school for my final semester the last week of August.  I’ll pick my goals back up at that time.

• This check-in is for July 27th – August 2nd.  I completed week two of the 10-Week Mindful Diet Plan for Healthy Eating from Yoga Journal.
• My cat Dresden freaked out about some random thing while I was holding him, and my hand and arm took the brunt of his frantic attempt to get away.  Even after I was able to type and use my computer mouse again, I couldn’t do most yoga positions.  So, I skipped the yoga this week.
• Now that my Summer class has come to an end (today is my Final), I’ll be switching to doing yoga at night during the week before I go to bed.  By the time I’ll be getting up in the morning, the Boyfriend will be going to bed, and I won’t be able to use the TV.

• This check-in is for July 20th – 26th.  I completed week one of the 10-Week Mindful Diet Plan for Healthy Eating from Yoga Journal.
• I did great during the week but ran into some snags that I hadn’t thought about or planned for over the weekend.  My original plan was to do yoga in the morning before I got ready to go to class, but on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I would do yoga at night before I went to bed.  Well, Friday night is the one night I get the apartment to myself and can do whatever I want because it’s the Boyfriend’s gaming night.  The last thing I wanted to do was interrupt my fun with yoga.  Saturday night is date night, and Sunday night was spent studying for a test.
• I’ll continue to do yoga in the morning during the week, including Friday, and at night on Sunday, but I’m not sure what to do for Saturday.  The Boyfriend works 3rd shift and has to sleep during the day so I do everything I can to be as silent as possible and keep my use of light to a minimum.

• This check-in is for July 13th – 19th.  I will be trying something different for the next ten weeks.  Instead of concentrating and failing week after week to reach my step goal, I’m doing the 10-Week Mindful Diet Plan for Healthy Eating from Yoga Journal.  It’s free and doesn’t require me to buy anything to follow the plan.
• I started the plan yesterday so I won’t be updating on my progress until next week.
• I’ll still try to get my steps in and track that information, but as of this morning, I’m starting a daily yoga practice in keeping with the plan.  I’ve added seven yoga sessions a week to my fitness goals listed below.
• If you’d like to join me on this 10-week journey, leave a comment or friend me on Facebook.  If you don’t own any yoga DVDs or can go to a class, there are tons of free yoga videos on Youtube.

• This check-in is for July 6th – 12th.  My goal was to walk more than I did the week before, and that’s exactly what I did, so I’m happy.
• I’m going to try to average 8K steps a day again now that I’m no longer having stomach problems.

• This check-in is for June 29th – July 5th.  I was still dealing with the stomach bug until Sunday.  Though I feel much better, and I’m walking more because of where my class is in relation to where I park, I’m not going to push myself to reach my goal.  As long as I do better than I did this past week, I’ll be happy.
