I'm really excited - today I completed my second goal for the month (making plans for when I am prone to falling off track with food and exercise, or what I am now calling my "coping strategies")! I came up with a list of 9 common times that I am prone to stop thinking about my health (when vertigo flairs, during my period, times when grief is bad, holidays, feeling overwhelmed/too busy, when it's too cold or icy to be outside, when I'm sick, when I'm super tired, and times when I'm incredibly angry), and tried to brainstorm things I can do to try to stay active and eat more healthily. These initial plans are all works in progress - if I find something in them doesn't really work, I can adapt them to something better. But at least I have something in place to work with. :)
I also, as I mentioned in my first update for these goals, I've also added to my list of possible rewards. I tried to focus on some non-monetary ones, since my original list had all monetary rewards (and I found that I didn't actually go through with some of them - for example, I was supposed to buy myself a new Solitudes album last summer, but I didn't bother until about a week ago! It wasn't really a reward at this point). So hopefully I'll have some good ideas for how to motivate me to achieve my goals. :)
In terms of Yoga, since starting Karin Dmitrova's Beyond Flexibility program, I've stayed pretty consistent with it. I'm on track to finish the month having done something yoga-like at least twice a week. :)
