Progress Report

As some of you may know, I'm participating in RecipeGirl's Ten in 10: Ten Weeks to Healthy in 2010 Challenge.  Let's see how I've been doing on each of my goals...

+ Cut back on Diet Coke - I've been doing really well here, limiting myself to two cans a day.  Ideally I'd like to get down to 1 a day (or less), but let's just take baby steps here.  I knew from the onset this would be the hardest goal for me.  There were two days when I had more than two--those were days I had meals at restaurants and ordered a Diet Coke with my meal.

 + Drink more water - Definitely doing well here.  With Diet Coke consumption down, this goal came naturally.  Besides water and Diet Coke, the only other beverage I consume is soy milk.

 + Eat more: fruits, veggies, and whole grains - Um...work in progress.  I'm eating more veggies for sure, and fruits too--but not anywhere close to what is recommended. 

 + Get more sleep - Again, a work in progress.  I'm averaging about 6 hours a night, working towards a goal of 7 hours of sleep each night.  We'll see how this goes though, because of my last goal:

 + Hit the gym 3-4 x a week - I am a morning workout person.  This means getting up before dawn, which makes getting decent amounts of sleep potentially problematic.  Over the holidays, I got out of my pre-work workout routine and it's been difficult getting back into the swing of things.  Week 1 the gym saw me ZERO times.  Week 2: Three times.  I need to be both more active and more consistent.
