My progress this week has been very positive. I have continued my daily walking routine, and I am on my sixth day of walking this week. I am seeing not only the mental health benefits, but I am starting to see the physical benefits. I have lost 4 pounds, and though that may not seem like much, I can feel it in my clothes. My clothes fit better, which makes me feel better about myself. Walking in the morning when it’s cooler is a great way to start my day. I find myself doing my morning talks out loud with my dog and having a more positive outlook on the day. The last few months have been tough, and I feel like I’m turning the corner to a better outlook on life and a more positive thought process. Having self-confidence is something I have struggled with my whole life, and I lost it for a while. Doing these daily walks and sticking to a commitment has made me feel more confident. Having the benefit of losing weight is a bonus, but this walking commitment is more for my mental health. This assignment has been good for me and something I will use with my degree in Psychology as a good practice and teaching cognitive therapy, of doing things to make yourself more confident, change negative thoughts into positive ones and setting yourself up with a schedule weekly. |

Progress Report #4 My progress report for week four shows slight improvement, but I have still completed the goal of walking five days a week. I didn’t lose as much weight as I did last week. This was a better week for me with my mental health, and I think the walking is helping that. I did get out and get some golfing in, which added more steps. One of the things I noticed this week, with the extra stress of school and lots of assignments, was that I was eating more junk food. I made a change and incorporated a good meal with some cucumbers from the garden. I feel that my legs are getting stronger, and I have continued to do the yoga moves in the morning right when I wake up. Stretching is helping me as well. Having this commitment has been good because I don’t want to have to say that I didn’t do it and disappoint myself. This is a good confidence builder, and when I can say I did it, I can still feel like I was productive this week, even though I made some bad choices. My kids have been following my reports, and they are starting to add some new daily routines to their lives. This week, along with the walking, I will focus more on healthier eating when I have walked and to drink more water. I tend to drink more coffee than water and want to cut back on the caffeine. I have walked extra and have done 7 days this week, so I feel good about the progress. |
