It's been a whole month since my very first post, where I decided some goals that would help me build healthier habits that would serve me on the long run. I don't want to say the whole month has been a fiasco but... welp. It was, indeed, a fiasco. 

I tried starting with humble and easy goals in order to set me up for success but it turns out it hasn't helped at all. Maybe they were just too lazy or maybe I thought they would be easy and underestimated the amount of effort they would take.

I managed not to buy any chocolate but, once again, I managed it because I still have a lot at home. We'll see next month how well I manage once it has run out.

I didn't increase my step count. I could say that I was bedridden for a week in total but that's just a weak excuse that doesn't apply to the other 3 weeks in the month.

Even my exercising routine, which i'd been following daily for two months at this point, fell into oblivion during this past week that I've been on vacation.

At least I've managed to be more mindful about my hydration levels, which means I've accomplished to build one new habit out of the four I intended for this month (and out of those three I just abandoned a good habit I'd been having for the last two months, so how's that for improvement, huh?).

I am not happy at all with this overview and shielding myself in the little progress I've made would be more harmful than good. I need to hold myself accountable in order to succeed. I also know me and I thrive under pressure and in not so kind environments so I have used my vacation time to prepare next month's goals, which will be challenging enough to keep me engaged. As I'm trying to build long lasting habits, this new goals will be added to my current ones so they won't be forgotten and there's still time for improvement in these specific areas. I'll write another post about my next goals on January 2nd. 

As always, thanks for reading.
