3 Barriers to Change

Some barriers I am running into that are making it difficult to stay on track include: 1) not keeping daily accounts of how I am doing with REST*, 2) eating unhealthy because I do not cook meals ahead of time, because I'm out of the house or really hungry cause I haven't eaten at regular meal times and lastly, 3) staying up till midnight or one on the computer and snacking because I prob don't take enough time during the day to have "alone time" and it's my only time to relax and do a little wedding planning.

The way I'm going to try and overcome these barriers include: 1) begin keeping a daily journal on water intake, f/v intake, sugar intake, hrs of sleep and if I took my vitamins/supplements. Then I will post my daily progress each week and not just my overall weekly general progress. 2) When I have any down time (perhaps Sunday evening before the week starts) I will try and cook a few meals for the week and I can also begin making my lunches the night before if I know I won't be at home during lunch the next day. This should help with eating at regular meal times and eating more fresh healthy foods, also when I'm out I can search for healthy alternatives. 3) Lastly, I can work on going to bed at 11 instead of 12 or 1 by doing wedding planning on the weekends only or during the day when I have time but not in the evening. Instead of going on the computer which tends to make me anxious and is easy to stay on for a long time I can make sure I take time to reflect and pray each night before I go to bed. I could also have my fiance call me every night at 11pm to make sure I'm in bed, sometimes the extra accountability can go a long way.
