Day In Review: April 1, 2018
I’m trying out a slightly different format for this month, with some more rapidfire sort of check-ins for if I’m on-track with my goals, and then a few longer sections for those that need more elaboration.
✔️ Quick Goals Progress Overview ❌
✔️ Ate at a moderate caloric deficit
❌ Slightly behind the pace for Step Goal (~15,000 steps instead of 16,667)
❌ 46/72 oz water (plus herbal tea but I’m not counting that toward my water total)
🏋🏻 Physical Health Overview 🏋🏻
Despite having a lot of x’s on my goals progress, I feel pretty good about how I did yesterday, physical health wise. Despite Easter dinner (and having twice as much apple crisp for dessert as I’d initially planned), I still managed to eat at a moderate deficit, thanks to eating a lighter evening meal, and to filling half my plate with raw veggies at the family dinner. I also didn’t feel as unsatisfied as I often do on Sundays, probably because I ate slowly so I had less temptation to overdo it at lunch.
I may have actually drunk more water than I thought, but in the evening I found my water bottle nearly full and couldn’t remember whether I’d drunk it and refilled it or actually totally failed to drink much water at all. I didn’t feel overly dehydrated so I’m not too worried. I will do better today.
🧘🏻 Mental Health Overview 🧘🏻
This area needs a bit more work. I didn’t write daily gratitudes (though I did spend time in mindfulness and prayer in the morning so I’ve not dropped everything), and in fact I haven’t made my April spreads for my bullet journal yet... oops :/
That being said, I am feeling overall a lot more balanced than I have previously, and it’s easier to pull myself out of the anxiety or sadness before I’ve sunk too deep into them, so that gives me some hope that my medication might be kicking in and I might have lucked out and found one that fits me well right away (or at least it’s the placebo effect).
Today I need to make sure I get my April spreads set up in my bullet journal so I can get back on track with the gratitude writing.
