Now we all move into the weekend and this means routine change. You have to set up a plan to avoid your triggers without the 7 hours of school to fill the morning and mid day. I know you all can do it and remember most of the time you are your own worst enemy! Have a great weekend and we will see you on Monday!

Habit Project Day 5
The most amazing thing happened this morning, well not really relative to most of the world, but amazing for my world. Yesterday I avoided my trigger because I had my golf league right after school and did not get home until 7:00. I then hooked up with my buddy for trivia at 8:00 and returned home at 10:30. This meant no workout for me so far so I said I would get up early and workout in the morning. This is something I never do and when my alarm went off I said there is no way this is happening. But then I thought about how good the week has been and leting all of you and myself down so I just got up and did a strength and cardio 15 workout! Hooray me!

Hello! Yesterday was not a very successful day. Right when I came downstairs in the morning I went on my phone. This made me have to rush and get my things together which I don't like. Usually when I get downstairs to my phone in the morning I just respond to messages but yesterday I went on instagram. Then when I got home I went straight on my phone. At about 4 I painted my nails and as I was about to do my top coat my mom called me and reminded me that I had to do the dishes... which isn't fun when your nails aren't fully dry. But I did them anyway and my nails didn't even get messed up! I didn't have any dance so I ended up going on my phone after the dishes until about 6 then I did my homework. My homework didn't take me too long so after my homework I ate dinner then went back to my phone. I guess I kind of saw yesterday as kind of a break day but even though I did that I'm not going to do more break days. I was watching YouTube before I went upstairs so I kept my phone downstairs and went to take a shower. After about halfway through jamming out to One Direction in the shower, I realized that Emilie had texted me and I didn't want to just not answer her. So after my shower I went downstairs and responded to Emilie's text. Then I went back up to bed and read until about 10:30 and went to sleep.
ReplyDeleteToday was just one of those bad days.
ReplyDeleteI hurt my nee really bad this morning again and was in pain most of the school day. When I got home because I was in so much pain I made a decision to eat some chips and cookies. I completely forgot about the Habit project until I started eating my snack. I immediately grabbed a pear and some ice water and ate that instead. This whole nee thing is causing so much stress in my life right now. I have three very important soccer games to play in this weekend and I possibly won't be able to play in them. Ever since the nee injury took place I have forgotten about the habit project completely. I promise this weekend I will work so hard not to eat any fattening foods. I made my self feel really bad about continuing with my habit and not try to break it. Now I learned that you can't let anything over power you when you are trying to accomplish something. Tonight I get to go out with a couple of friends from school and see a movie. Friends are the one thing that can always take my mind off things.
Great job everyone!
Today I went to school and I didn't feel good. I felt sick and kinda light headed. I ended up going home about 30 minutes into school. I have not been feeling good lately which is very annoying because I have a busy weekend and I already had to miss my cousins graduation party tonight. Today I slept for a little bit and then just relaxed on the couch. I did not have energy today. I don't think that I cracked my knuckles more than 5 times today. I thought on Wednesday when I stayed home that I wasn't cracking them as much because I was relaxed and I think it was the same today. I noticed that when I went back to school yesterday that I was cracking more. Today I did not snack at all. I had a little lunch but that was it. It was probably because I didn't feel good. When I feel better I'm sure I will want to snack more. When I have a snack I think I will be able to keep it healthy I have been trying hard to cut back on the bad snacks and I think it is paying off.
ReplyDeleteand good job Mr Phillips with your workout
ReplyDeleteToday I sat on my couch and watch some tv for about to hours, then I went out and relaxed for the rest of the day. Now I'm going to watch a movie, So far this is going great.
ReplyDeleteToday wasn't the most productive day either. As soon as I got home I changed. My sister Mollie and I were very hyper. We decided to have a mini dance party. After we watched pitch perfect. We didn't just lay there we danced every time a song was on. There is A LOT of singing in the movie too. After the movie we had dinner, which was delicious. After dinner we waited facetimed my friend Katelyn. She was with a couple of her friends. It was really nice talking to Katelyn because I haven't talked to her lately. For the rest of the night I am probably just going to rest. Good job everyone!
ReplyDeleteLunch went great today . As soon as I got home I ate a bagel and an orange instead of a devil dog. I was kinda still hungry an hour later so I drank a bottle of water which filled my stomach . I'm currently watching a movie right now . I'm about to eat dinner and then get ready for bed because I have a competition tommorow .
ReplyDeleteThis is a continuation from my blog because it would not let me type . I have to go to bed early so I won't be using my phone . I'm sooo excited for comp😀😀
DeleteGood luck mariah hope you have a great comp!
DeleteToday was a great day when I got off the bus I walked Kaitlyn home and walked home and I changed my clothes and packed my bag to go to my dads house. I walked around the neighborhood and I came home at 4:45 and I had to go to my neighbors house because I forgot something. J got up there got it and Nicolas and I went outside and rode our bikes done the hills. We went to his friends house and stayed there for awhile. Played basketball and my dad txted saying that he was at the house so I left and went with my dad. It was a long drive so we talked and my favorite song came on the radio ( See you again). I asked for ice cream and we got some and d went home. Ate dinner and talked again. I told my dad about the habit project and he said it was good for me because I watch TV a lot and my dad always tell me that he would give me an book to read and watch less tv. So my dad was proud of me for not watching TV. I'm planning on to stay up late tonight and do some of my homework and go to beds late maybe. But today I did good and I'm waiting what my task would be for tomorrow. Good job everyone your doing good.

DeleteToday I hadn't touched my phone once until after around 5:30. That's an hour more than I normally route for, which is a huge success for me. I got home, and went outside to play with my dogs, when the neighbor's new puppy decided to visit me and I played with her too. After that I left around 5:30ish (I wasn't paying attention to the time at the moment) and went out to the movies with my mom, her boyfriend and his two kids. We saw Hot Pursuit (which was hilarious) and normally I go on my phone to check things during the movie, but I didn't touch it once. I just got home a couple minutes ago and I'm hoping to get my homework done tomorrow since I didn't have time really to do it. With my 'like' habit, it's still not going well for me. I try to stop saying it, but the word rolls off of my tongue almost naturally. I've been trying to stop myself and to anyone who reads this, please tell me if I say the word 'like'. I never realize I do, so I don't ever know if I say it unless someone tells me. I see some people are struggling, so I hope everything ends well. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteToday I woke up feeling great, my mom only had to wake me up once and I was good. During school I was more alert and motivated to do things. At no point during the day I felt the need to nap. I was still feeling good after school, so I went to a nearby basketball court by myself and made a couple new friends. I helped run errands with my mom again, and i like going with her because when i used to nap was when she would be home free. By the time I usually woke up she was busy and we never really talked. I'm beginning to like giving up my habit and I feel less awkward without napping than yesterday.
ReplyDeleteToday went well, I haven't thought about getting soda, I have replaced drinking soda with health beverage as for tomorrow it's going to be tough cause I'll be home for half of the day but i know I can avoid it .keep up the good everyone! !
ReplyDeleteSo today was different. I went to school but instead of going home I went to Emma's house with Taylor. I stayed there and walked her dogs and got a chocolate shake. Then we went to the movies and I finally got home around 11. Then since it was past 9 I went on my Ipod and watched T.V. For the weekend I am going to try and workout, clean my mom's car, clean my room, and get any other things I need/want to get done done. If anyone has any thing I could do please comment. I hope everyone is doing well on their task because I think it will be harder on the weekend for a lot of people. Stay strong.
ReplyDeleteLast night I did surprisingly well for a weekend. I watched a movie, which got rid of a lot of time in which I couldn't use a phone. I was, however, feeling very tempted to go on my phone when people started texting me and I couldn't answer. I just kept telling myself that the project is more important than texting someone. The momentum is still going for me. Now my job is to bring that momentum tonight and push through. Sunday night will be easier because I will go to bed earlier. I will be ecstatic when my habit finally dies off and a new, healthier routine will take over. Cmon guys, the weekend can't intimidate us if we just keep our momentum and stick together!
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you tell the people who normally text you to avoid texting you at the times you are trying to avoid your phone. This would make it even easier to avoid your habi!
DeleteToday was kind of a mixed up day. I went home with someone on the bus with one of my friends. We were going to the movies at 7:15, so we decided to kill some time by playing video games. We played for about 2 hours which is the time I want to ply for on the weekdays, but since it's the weekend I'll be able to play for about 4-5 hours of the day. We got back from the movie at around 10 and we played more video games till 12 ish. So I still played the amount of time I wanted to for the day
ReplyDeleteToday was an off day for me. After school I had my friend rocky come over and hangout, so I didn't do my homework and I am waiting for Saturday night to do it. I know this is an excuse for not doing my homework but I will get it done Saturday night.
ReplyDeleteHenno! Last night was pretty good. I got home watched my show and had a snack. Then I went upstairs and did my home work. I then was on my phone talking to people and playing a game. I went downstairs and I had dinner and then went back upstairs and showered. When I got out I went to go and study for social studies some more. By then it was like 8:00. So I still had some time. I read my book until like 9:00. I then watched a little bit of tv. It was 10:00 by the time I was done. I put my phone away and I fell asleep by 10:30.
ReplyDeleteYesterday wasn't a great day for me with the project but it wasn't a bad one. I decided to take the evening off and relax since I had just gotten through a whole week of school. I will definitely make sure to do my homework Saturday or if I'm too busy, Sunday. Hope everyone has a good weekend and good luck.
ReplyDeleteYesterday was tougher than it usually is for avoiding my old habit. I had a friend sleepover last night and we went out for the whole day to Worcester State to play football. When we got home it was about 8;45. A couple hours later we were about to go to bed, but then I remembered that I couldn't use my phone before I go to bed. So i went upstairs to get my book and started to read and eventually I fell asleep. It was tougher than usual because I went to bed later than I do on a school night. I hope tonight I'll avoid my bad habit and remember to read my book.
ReplyDeletetoday, was a good day for me. I woke up ate some breakfast did some other stuff, and then i played some video games from like 9ish to 10. After that i got ready to g for my run. when i got home it was like noon~ish so i had lunch. I then went out to play some basketball in my driveway. After about 30 minutes of that my mom came home and i had to help her clean my dog. Then me my brother and my sister went to worcester state and did some stuff. We got home at around 3:30, so i relaxed a bit and then i payed video games from 4-430. So today i was able to use my phone less than i usually do and play video games less than i usually. On a normal weekend day i play about 4-5 hours of video games and like 2-3 hours on my phone. Today i have used my phone for a little less than an hour and i have played video games for about an hour an a half. So i have had a pretty productive day today, and i plan to read instead of using my phone before bed again as well.
ReplyDeleteYesterday, I did it a couple times but mostly the same as the previous day's (excluding the day where I did it a lot). I believe I am getting better at it but am still a little worried because I want to be rid of it after these two weeks. My mom picked us up from school yesterday and we went to Walmart. We picked up what we needed and my mom told us we could pick out a drink and a snack. Me and my brother picked out orange juices to drink. Then we walked by all these delicious looking foods. Oreos, goldfish, nutter butters and chips were all staring at me as I walked by. My brother grabbed some, but I just kept walking and was happy with my orange juice. I'm proud of myself for that. Then we went to blacks tone and then to O'Connors to celebrate my moms birthday I got something healthy and I've been eating healthy and exercising for a while now so I hope to keep it going. I'm also aware of how much I'm eating now. I used to just keep on eating and eating but now I pay attention to when my stomach is telling me I'm full and eat healthy sized portions of food.
ReplyDeleteOne day at a time Megan! It's good to have the goal of ending this habit in two weeks but maybe it will take longer...maybe it will be quicker. Just keep your focus on one day at a time, improving each day and before you know it will be gone!
DeleteFriday was a successfully day for me. I went out for a little then I came back home and watch some t.v. . then I played some video games. It was getting kind of late so I ate supper and took a shower then went to bed
ReplyDeleteLike I said, it's getting harder not to play with my iPad. You have to find other ways to entertain yourself. But if you don't find the most interesting thing to entertain yourself, it will feel like time is not passing by and that's how it felt. It's becoming the weekend and it will become much more easy. Like I said, this can be challenging or not to some people.
ReplyDeleteFor me I call it a challenge.
Today was a very busy day for me and I didn't come close to doing my bad habit. Well so today I woke up at 8:15 and I started to get ready for church. And left at 11:45 and church ended at 1:15. After church we went out to eat at a Chinese buffet in shrewsbury . we spent like an hour and 30 min there. We left there at like 3:50 and we drove back to Worcester and my aunt wanted to go to a cook out so we went my house to change and then we went to a cook out on Vernon. And I'm now going home to get ready for school tomorrow it was a great weekend. See everyone tomorrow .
ReplyDeleteI'm was sick this day and wasn't able to post on the day Or go to school. On this day though I was not able to avoid triggers like waking up late but I couldn't chew gum because i was sick. Hopefully I get better soon
ReplyDeletehad to get my braces tightened so my mouth hurt and i could only eat soft foods with was tough so I had food like eggs and apple sause. I did avoid t.v because I went to my dads house and me and my sister went to the mall. So overall it was a good day and im proud of myself.
ReplyDeleteNot munch too to say today Friday, because the novel was not in store today.
ReplyDeleteJonathan you need to expanded on your writing. Saying not much to say today really defeats the purpose of this project. How did you feel when the novel was not there, what are your future plans, were you tempted to buy anything else. I do not totally understand why you think your cheap. Do you have a ton of money stored away that you will not spend or do you just not like to spend money in general. Your leaving us all hanging as to your habit and why you chose it.
Deletetoday i was really sick and did not go to school soo i didnt really avoid my trigger so i rested and i watched tv.
