Week one done

How to improve were the buzz words a week ago. A good portion of the population was putting some thought into what they needed to do to change their bad habits and everything needed to start with the timing of the new calendar year. There was a flurry of articles concerning weight, health, and nutrition. Get your plan, start your charts, make those improvements, now is the time.

It's been a week since the brand, spanking new 2016 rolled in. What has happened during that week? Is it time to reminiscence about what took place and what we need to do for the future? It's not a bad idea. Taking a closer look can keep you on track because it can help keep you focused on the important things. It should come with the warning that it can't turn into a beat-up session where you take issue with things that didn't work or didn't get done. There is no progress in that. This process must stay objective.

For my one week report I can say:

• Ran a 5K on 1/1/16 and (surprisingly) came in third in my age group. (Didn't see that one coming).
• Started and kept to my second week of run training (See, everything doesn't start with the New Year-I started before)
• Wrote up a daily blog post
• Started exercise one of my Plot Whisperer workbook.

Not too shabby for one week but then it IS the first week and that always goes well, right? So what now? Keep it up. Look for another race to sign up (yikes! not sure why that is so scary now). Keep going with the run training, write some more, and smile about it. I think the most important thing to remember about this entire How to improve idea is it takes a lot of consistent patience. Make it count, enjoy the moments, and yeah, get it done.
