The same problems that plagued my progress on my health journal last week, also slowed me this week.  I’m putting in over 12 hours at work trying to fix a problem.  Like I said last week, normally such events would make me reverse course, but I’m sticking to my health journal goal!

Instead I did as much as I could, given the time that I’m able to do what I can…  So I decided to eat a little healthier and more cheaply.  The oatmeal bowls  in the chart below had fruit pieces in then and they were free!  So it was both healthy and cheap!

I started a crude journal (hoping to improve it during the upcoming weeks), that will serve as a starting point for tracking my fitness/health goals and saving money while doing it.  Another great option would be Weight Watchers Online, I’m sure they have a journal as part of their program!

Sometimes life does knocks you off course, but you have the option to try to get back to the planned path that you are supposed to be on, instead of letting life’s circumstances dictate where you go…

So here you have my “not quite ready for prime time” health journal.
