Day 3


SATURDAY JANUARY 3RD 2015.
365 List Project

DAY THREE  //  LIST ALL THE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL HEALTHY - MIND, BODY & SOUL.


Today I decided to focus on all the things that make me feel healthy, firstly - in my mind – all the things that make my emotional state feel and be happy.
Secondly – in body – all the things that physical health-wise that make me feel good and well.
Thirdly – in soul – all the things that make my soul feel at peace and well.
I believe that in taking note of all the things that make you feel healthy, achieving a healthier-self is more do-able because you now have the tools and information identified to get you there!
Remember there is no right or wrong way to write these lists – you can just interpret them as you like and make use of them in your own way – whatever helps you!

Day 4

SUNDAY JANUARY 4TH 2015.

365 List Project

DAY FOUR  //  LIST ALL THE DRESS SIZES & WEIGHTS YOU’VE BEEN SINCE THE AGE OF FIFTEEN.

LIST YOUR DREAM WEIGHT & DRESS SIZE.
 

(Here’s my list…)

Today I decided to focus on all the body sizes, shapes, and weights I have been since the age of fifteen. (Fifteen is the age I have significantly changed from). I wanted to note down all the size changes my body has gone through –up and down in size and shape. This is something I want to be able to look back on and know what I looked like and felt like to a certain extent.

For example – when I met my fiancé I was a uk size 10/12 and approx. 11-12 stone and I felt great, I wasn’t the skinniest I had ever been or the most toned but I felt good. I exercised regularly (mostly aerobics and treadmill at the local gym) and kept in decent shape, I felt sexy and comfortable in my clothes but I had curves but no dreaded muffin top (like now) and I liked clothes shopping and I didn’t dread catching sight of myself in the mirror (especially with no clothes on!) Being a size uk size 12 even a 14 I felt comfortable in my own skin and I felt more comfortable in the company of others, especially with my other half. I felt accepted more socially than I do now at a bigger size (… a uk 18/20 cringe) and at a slimmer size I felt as though I was given more respect and I was definitely more confident!

Also in writing this list, it helped me to assess my ideas on body image and has spurred me on to get fit and healthy.

THIS IS ONE LIST I AM GOING TO KEEP PRIVATE FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

DAY FIVE  //  LIST A TYPICAL WEEKS EXERCISE.

(Here’s my list…)

Today I am looking at the exercise I do within a typical week.

I thought it would be a good idea to write down the details of what exercise my body gets within an average week so I can see where my routine needs improvement and to help identify anything I am doing wrong. Remember to be honest when writing your list!

Notes:

Need to use the treadmill that is masquerading as a clothes maiden in our kitchen!

Dog walking could do with being done a few more times per day instead of just once, if anything for the sake of our garden!

Could anymore housework be squeezed in to just add to the exercise and a better organised/ maintained house?!

I need to add some variety into doing some extra exercise such as a work-out dvd or an aerobics class or even swimming?!

I’m just not doing enough cardio!

365 List Project

DAY ONE  //  LIST A TYPICAL WEEKS DIET.

 


 So to start the 365 List Project I thought that I would kick off with my typical weeks diet (obviously I use the term diet loosely...you will see why...)

I wanted to start they year on an honest note not in any denial or disillusion of any sorts, so I could spend the rest of the year working through my list of New Year’s Resolutions. (I make my New Year’s Resolutions throughout the month of December so I am ready and prepared to start January in full swing armed with the list I need to get me off to a good start).

At the top of my New Year’s Resolution’s list is to lose some weight and get healthier and fitter.

The aim of each list is to write it down as honestly as possible so you can really take a good look at yourself and the things you do.

So jot down on average what you would eat and drink! in a typical week for you.

 

  Do your best to be honest! The aim of each list is to write it down as honestly as possible so you can really take a good look at yourself and the things you do. Get every little naughty morsel on that list. And when you have completed full the list for one whole week -Monday to Sunday, read it back to yourself from start to finish and then write down what your thoughts are.

 

What is good, what's bad and what is most certainly ugly?!

 

On a final note don’t forget to enjoy your list-making, it’s meant to be a bit of fun!
