• Log your current and new habits related to sleep hygiene here:

  • Right now I have dinner late at night, when I am about to go to bed, which is not positive for my health.

• Include images or links to music, videos, or recommendations that help you daily: I love Linda Sun, she is my hero.

I did it by setting up alarms at 6:30 to start cooking dinner so it could be ready or eaten by 7pm

It indeed helped. My digestive system is very slow, so I can eat a heavy meal and feel too full for hours, and having a light dinner early in the afternoon really felt like a change in me, as I felt normal and almost like ready to rest both weeks. I did not wake up at night and I even can remember my dreams better. I have been dreaming some weird stuff.

• Log your feelings and thoughts at the end of the day.

• Include some images with your loved ones or a link to the music or video that helps you feel better every day.

This was the notebook I used for journaling, and even though the content is private, only by looking at the cover you can see art and writing are my therapy. It was hard making it a habit in the morning, especially because as now my mornings are very slow because of vacations, it was hard to make myself focus on writing and not going back again to sleep. Still it was a great challenge.

• Log the food that you like and how it makes you feel.

• Add images, photos, music, gifs, or whatever you like that motivates you to eat healthy.

• Follow the recommendations from the international guidelines you found for your age group. 

• Remember: the main goal is to nourish your body and avoid fad diets.

• Example: "I will eat one fruit or vegetable to increase my daily intake of fiber as an afternoon snack for the next two weeks".

I personally do not love eggs, specially boiled, but talking about performance and physical benefits, I have to recognize that eggs were a great alternative for breakfast. I ate them, i was not hungry until lunch time, and I felt light but strong during my workouts, no tummy ache, not anything. I do not love the flavor, but I love the results. The days I did not have them I still eat healthy, including whole oats, low fat yogurt with fruit, etc.

I will do 1 hour daily of youtube dance workouts after my lifting session, from Monday to Friday for the next two weeks to increase my cardiovascular resistance.

I will do this exercise between 5pm-6pm of weekdays.

According to WHO, adults should do 150-300 minutes weekly of moderate intensity physical activity, so I will complement my weight lifting with dancing videos in youtube, between 3-5 times a week. (World Health Organization, 2020)

Example: "I will run in the park near my house three times a week for the next two weeks to increase my physical activity."

About the dance workouts, I intercalated between my favorites, Pamela Reif and Madfit, and even though some days were too tiring and hard to complete, I think I did a great job. First days felt like it was impossible, but now I feel I made little progress with my breathing and resistance. I am trying to build muscle at the moment, and cardio is not my best friend for it, but certainly I think that when I am in cut, this will help me quite quickly to get the results I want.
