Habit Project Day 9
So yesterday I avoided the T.V. again although I admit I wanted to turn it on. I think I was still exhausted from a busy weekend of first communions, christenings and yard work. I really did not have any time to just rest at any point. So Lilly and I played and danced and read books and eventually it was time to leave for my basketball game. Worked up a good sweat and our team got the win and next week we move into the playoffs as the two seed. I really need to continue working out though because I can feel my legs are weaker than they have been in the past and my right knee is sore but it is what it is. I also am planning on doing a seven day cleanse in the near future which I have done in the past. Keep working hard everyone!

I woke up at 6 again and got ready again but today it was easier with all the quizzes or tests because i was busy studying so when it was time to go it seemed like it was barely an hour. I didn't have breakfast today because i just didn't want to. I didn't have time to walk my dogs because i was busy studying. I learned that some days are easier than others.
ReplyDeleteHey! So yesterday was a very exciting day for me because I picked up my sister at the airport. Emily had been studying abroad in Denmark for 4 months. I took the day off of school to drive down to JFK airport with my mom and dad. I really hate missing school but I hadn't seen Emily in a really long time so I wanted to see her. I was glad that we didn't really have any homework but I was kind of frustrated that because now I have to make up a couple quizzes. Yesterday I spent basically the whole day in the car so I was on my phone a lot watching Netflix and YouTube on the way there but on the way back I was mostly chatting with my family. When we got home we watched tv on the couch and chilled. I went upstairs an hour earlier than I normally do and went to sleep an hour earlier than I normally do. About 30 min into trying to fall asleep I got up and went downstairs to drink juice because I was afraid my blood sugar was low. I was kind of upset about that because it is always a pain when your blood sugar goes low in the middle of the night and you have to go downstairs.
ReplyDeleteToday was kind of a busy day for me and I still have a lot of homework to do so I will try and do this quickly. So I got out of school at 3 just like everyone else but then I had to get an X-Ray on my thumb to see if it was fractured or not. So that ended at 4:30 and it turned out that it is broken. This put me in a bad mood because it means that I won't be able to play baseball for 3 weeks. You can probably tell that I am not in the mood to do my homework so tonight is going to stink.
ReplyDeleteHenno! Last night was really good. When I got home I watched my show. After that I went upstairs and did my home work. After my home work was done I changed and went downstairs and played football with my brother. After football I went inside and ate dinner. I had softball at 7:30 so I went to go get ready for that. I went to softball and my the time I got home in was around 9:15. I got int he shower and when I got out I read some of my book by that time it was 10:15. So at around 10:30 I fell asleep. I hope everyone else is doing good on their projects!
ReplyDeleteFirst off i want to say sorry for my short posts i just had little to no time this week to even post. anyways though today i went to the basketball with allan,johnathan, jonathan calixto and dylan we had a fun day i guess u can say but it was also a long day at school so i was surprised that i actually played. i avoided my trigger of watching tv so im proud of that. cant wait for tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteplease call me calixto
DeleteToday was similar to yesterday(Monday-Thrusday is almost the same each week which is kinda boring). At lunch I had a bagel and grapes. I did not go to after school so when I got home, I started my homework and instead of having cheese puffs for a snack, I had toast. I went to the and worked out from 5 to 7:30 To avoid watching tv I am going to clean my room and read. Things are going well and I hope to keep it that way.
ReplyDeleteHi guys! My momentum is picking up again. I honestly want to read instead of be on my phone even in the time that I can be on my phone. I think thats a real change from what I used to want to do. This new routine is slowly making my bedtime become earlier and earlier. I feel more happy, prepared, and refreshed after waking up and when arriving at school. My habit of cracking my knuckles is going surprisingly well. I cracked them maybe ten times today, but I stopped myself from doing it around fifteen times. I don't think cracking my knuckles has been around long enough for me to become too used to it, so its easier to give up than my other habit. Keep up the hard work guys! See you tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteHello! Today went ok I guess. Today at lunch I packed a cheese stick and a cutie (orange ) I would have packed more but I forgot the rest at home . I asked for an extra snack which was kinda junk food. I had dance later on after school so I did not eat any junk food there . When I get home since I got
ReplyDeleteOf dance early I'm gonna work out
DeleteBefore I go to bed
DeleteToday was a very stressful day for me. I got two bad grades and I was just in a terrible mood. I was very busy taking quizzes and doing work. I only cracked my knuckles 3 or 4 times. i noticed that I don't really want to crack them as much anymore. i don't enjoy cracking my knuckles as much as I used to. my snacking habit has definitely improved. today I had an apple and a banana at school. I stopped snacking when I'm not hungry at home. It's so much easier to not snack at school because I'm not allowed. At home my kitchen is filled with food. Being home is one of my triggers I think. I had some ice cream today that was not a good choice. It is good that I am able to say that I have a bad habit but I need to work harder to break them.
ReplyDeletewell my new habit trying to combat slouching. i have this problem for an long time so this kind of day one today tried to stand tall but for while my back starting to ache was kind of little bit worry if can do this, but knew that i can do this.
ReplyDeleteToday was an easy day as most of mine are. When I got home I started to do my homework until around 6:30 in which I got ready for a street hockey game. The game was at 7:15 and I got home at around 9:00. Then I finished my homework and got ready to go to bed after this. This left me with no playing time which again made me happy and sad. The project is not as hard on me as it is others because of my busy schedule lately.
ReplyDeleteToday was another successful day. I didn't feel tired at any point during the day which is a big step. I avoided my triggers by doing my homework immediately when I got home the going to play basketball. Today I played basketball with Matt, Jonathan Calixto, Dylan, and Johnathan. At first we were just shooting around and there wasn't real physical activity, but then I played with another guy who got me tired by having me post up against him. I'm liking the project more as the days go on.
ReplyDeleteToday was horrible, but as the day went on my classmates made my day fun even tho I wasn't my usual self.when I got home around 3:30 my mom told me I had to go see my doctor which I didn't want to go but I ended up going the results were terrible tho.After the doctor we went to walmart then Chinese buffet where I was surrounded by my trigger but I avoided it .seeing my cousin and mom drink that soda tempted me but I did the right not to drink it.
ReplyDeleteYo. So today was good. I am being very healthy and active and I think it's bec of this habit project. I did run today with sophia and we made another music video. We also talked to my dad. Then we are and watched a movie. I kinda feel bad because know I'm doing my homework late and I couldve done it when we were watching the movie. Tomorrow I have a orthodontist appointment so after that I hope I will either work out or do my homework. I only went on my iPod for maybe around 30 min. Today besides this. I hope everyone is having fun and is learning a lot. Until tomorrow ciao
ReplyDeleteToday was a great day. Not only did I avoid my bad habbit, but my dad came from Haiti for my brother's graduation. I went out for a bit played some soccer with my brother, I also played some games. Then I went out to go shopping, we bought some clothes. The reason that this is late is because we got home 30 minutes ago, and it just came to me before going to bed to do the blog.
ReplyDeleteYesterday was a lot of fun. After I did my homework my cousin Frankie picked me up. We went to rocketland again but this time we played tennis. We played tennis for about an hour. After tennis we just sat there and talked. Then we went to her house and played a family feud board game. Going outside after school has made me more happy. This project has been a lot of fun. It hasn't really been a struggle for me. Good job everyone!
ReplyDeleteYesterday was a normal day for me. Went to school and came home and did my homework. Then we went to the dentist at 5. There the secratary gave me a mint. At first it was fine then with the mint melting in my mouth I felt like I was chewing gum but I wasn't it was mint melting in my mouth. I don't know whether that counts as breaking the habit though since my habit is chewing gum.
ReplyDeleteToday I had to get up super early to shower and stuff because we had to leave the house at 6:30 for a mass in Webster for my grandparents. Then after that I had a delicious, but somewhat healthy breakfast, I just felt bad after it because I stuffed myself. Then after school, I went home and did my homework and then went to Jasmines for dinner. I had a really fun time but I'm mad at myself because I haven't exercised. I haven't been biting my cheek but I might have started to bite my lip now so I'm going to try to stop it before it progresses.
ReplyDeleteYesterday was an okay day. I couldn't go straight home after school because the realtor was showing our house (my room was a mess) and instead my mom and I went out to different stores around and got ice cream. When we came home it was already passed 4:30 so I avoided my triggers successfully. However, I immediately went on my iPad until around 6;30, when I had to get ready to go out to dinner. After dinner, I hurried and tried to do my homework, completing some of it, but not all. I am doing so poorly with the 'like' habit that I'm thinking of dropping it because it's not getting any better. I say it so many times and I dont even know that I do until I say it. I see most people are doing well. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWhew yesterday was hard! I had a lot of homework to do last night and I had almost no motivation at all. But I begrudgingly did all of the homework as soon as I got home. But since I didn't have any motivation, the homework took me along time. But man did it feel great to get it done. Then I was able to help my grandpa uncover the pool and earned so money! Keep up the outstanding work guys.
ReplyDeleteYesterday was different for me. What I mean by different is that I didn't have the same type of day of going to school then coming home and doing my homework. I wasn't feeling well the night before and u wasn't yesterday either. A lot of the day I slept and was on my phone and watching TV. It was quite boring considering my week is usually packed with things to do. I did read last night but I fell asleep around 10. I don't have a lot to say about yesterday because not a lot happened. I read some of your comments and it looks like a lot of you are doing great.
ReplyDeleteYesterday my dad bought a bunch of healthy snacks for school. So I brought a very healthy lunch to school yesterday. It was refreshing as healthy food always is on a humid day like yesterday. I feel like fruit is my main snack I have everyday. I try to have a price of fruit everyday and lots of water. These past couple of days haven't been that challenging but I can see now that breaking my habit is working and I hope I continue it after the project is done.
ReplyDeleteGreat job 8th grade!!
Yesterday was awful I didn't feel good at all and I felt like I was going to pass out. When I got home I went straight on the couch and I slept all day. My mom came home at 7 and she asked me what was wrong and I told her I don't feel good so she said after I take a shower go shower so I tried to wake myself up and it didn't work. My mom got out of the shower so she told me that I can take a shower in the morning so I got off the couch and went to my messy room which I don't like. I told my mom I dont want to go to school tomorrow she said ok. I got up this morning and I feel worse I don't know if I'm coming to school or not. I couldn't stand up straight so I was bending over most of the time. I avoided my trigger last night but not this morning was not good. I took my bag to the living room and turned on the TV and did my homework at the same time. I got mad but I know that I can avoid TV while doing homework. Good job 8th grade on avoiding your habit!!😊
ReplyDeleteToday has been a fine day so far. So when i woke up i didnt use my phone until like 8, but only for a few minutes. Before that though i was doing homework that is do tomorrow because i was ready for school by 7. Then at like 8:25 i left to go to my bus stop. THen from 8:45 to 3:30 i was at school. I ended up getting home at 3:45, and since i am not busy today i said to my self,"Lets take those runs again." So I took my run and when i got home i did my homework, which i finished at 5:15. Then i ate dinner and after that it was 5:30ish. I then went on my phone but it was fine because i was all done my homework that involved writing and i already went for a run. Now i am planning on studying for my quiz tomorrow, doing a workout, and reading before bed. This would mean i would have been able to avoid playing video games, and going on my phone and watching tv too much. Since i have decided watching tv and going on my phone less, i have felt better than i usually do, and since i have stopped playing video games on school days i have been able to pay attention and remember stuff better, so this project is probably something i will continue.
ReplyDeleteToday was the first day i didnt get to excersise as much as i wanted to. I played basketball and catch with david for about an hour combined. It might seem like a lot but playing catch is quite relaxing. I was disappointed in myself but i plan on going for a run tomorrow. Great job guys!
ReplyDeleteI avoided my bad habit today. When I woke up I got ready for school and study for my quizzes. I was late to school today. I got out of school at 3:05. right when I got out of school I went straight home and I ate and changed for basketball practice.I left my house around 4:08 and got to the Boys and Girls Club at 4:15. I was 15 minutes late to basketball practice but it was no big deal. Practice was until until 5:30. everyone left the gym at 5:30. My Coach let me and my friend jennifer play basketball for 30 minutes by ourselves in the gym. It was fun because we tried really hard and we got good results. I left the Boys and Girls Club around 6:15 and walked home. As I was walking home I seen my friends and they wanted me to hang out with them so I did. When I got home I went to do my homework and take a shower. Today was a pretty good day I avoided my bad habit. Good luck everyone else!
