My Fitness and Nutrition
This page helps me track my own personal commitment to fitness and nutrition. It's a combination of journal and operating manual.
Foundational Maxims
Nutrition
- I base the majority of my food on whole foods.
- I allow myself to enjoy "treat" foods in moderation.
- I support my activity by eating enough food, but not too much.
- I experience my foods fully and mindfully.
Exercise
- I move my body at least 30 minutes every day.
- I lift heavy things on a regular basis to allow me to do other activities with ease.
- I value flexibility and stretch on a regular basis.
Mental
- I journal daily to get my mind organized.
- I unplug an hour before bed and spend some of that meditating.
- I manage my stress by taking time out of the day for mindfulness on regular intervals, even if just for a minute.
