Not so great in eight!

Sorry, but I haven't been that good at following the program for the past two days. I have exercised, done my scripture reading, flossing, etc. but I have a hard time keeping track of the good and bad foods I've eaten. Probably because I eat so many of the bad ones. :o(

I'm kind of like Traci and in the moving process, but I'll try to do better.

Good luck to you all this weekend!!

hello there

I have no idea why I decided to do this 2 weeks before we move, YIKES! Things are going fine though.  I just have trouble keeping track of everything.  It's helped that I am sick with Strep, it hurts too much to eat! I also haven't done any of the things on the calendar. Whoops!  I am sticking with it though. My eating habits are much better this week.

Day 1

Daily Total: 34 points.

I missed the weekly item, and ate a few servings of bad foods, but I did get my daily prayer, exercise, and scripture reading (thanks to Traci) in for the day.  

So far, so good today!

Handy "pages"

Don't forget that you can print out the weekly chart, points system, and good/bad food lists--just click on the "pages" to the right of this blog post! :)

Week 1 Daily Calendar items

Each of these items is worth 5 points.  You can earn a total of 35 points weekly.  If you forget to do a day, you can add it to the next day and report it there.

Week 1 Daily Calendar items:

Monday:  Write a thank-you note or email to someone.

Tuesday:  Floss your teeth.

Wednesday:  Sit down and read something enjoyable for 15 minutes.

Thursday:  Post on this blog--report on how you're doing!

Friday:  Eat an item on the Bad Foods list and don't report the points lost. :)

Saturday:  Spend time with your family doing something fun.

Sunday:  Write down 10 things you're grateful for.

Welcome! Week 1 starts tomorrow!

Many thanks to Traci and Mom who've often asked when we were going to start this up, and kudos to all of you who've already made the jump and have started making changes/getting healthy.  You're an inspiration!

Feeling Great in Eight is an 8-week program that is meant to help you start or remember healthy habits, everything from drinking enough water to saying daily prayers to getting exercise.  You get points for good choices and lose points (or just don't gain points) when you don't.  No one else is keeping track of your points, so you  might as well be honest with yourself. :)  Visit the "How the points work,"  "Good Foods List," and "Bad Foods List" pages on the right for details on earning points.  I plan on printing these out and posting them in our house somewhere so I don't have to get online all the time! 

The Feeling Great in 8 program will begin tomorrow, January 9th.  You'll report your Week 1 scores the following Monday, on January 16th. 

I think I've invited every family to be an author on the blog--if not, let me know!  If you definitely want to participate and report your scores, let me know and I'll make sure there's a "page" added just for you.  So far I just have Mom, Derrick, Traci, and me on there, but everyone is welcome! :)  Oh, and check your email--I'll be sending out a chart today to help you keep track of your scores.

Best wishes to everyone!  Have fun!  And Happy New Year!
