Week 2 Report: Pagan Fitness Challenge

Week 2 Report: Pagan Fitness Challenge

I am participating in the "Winter Pagan Fitness Challenge" I found at Pagan Health & Fitness. As I posted previously, the author asks us to come up with 5 things to go with the diet to represent the elements. The goals I chose were: 

Status Report: 

Air~ Breathe more intently. Do yoga to practice healing breathing. --> I did not do any yoga this week. I'm not sure why, BUT I did set up a DVD player in my room last night so I am better equipped this upcoming week to get this done. 
           +0 Photobucket
Fire~ Feel the burn of working out! --> I did do toning exercises twice this week. Woot! I met my weekly goal! 
         +2 Photobucket
Water~ Drink more of it! --> I maintained 7 glasses on all but two days. I did meet my weekly goal of 8 glasses on two days as well. Not too shabby!
         +2 Photobucket
Earth~ Focus on being more grounded in life. --> I did ground and shield every day (actually twice a day). But, the week was especially stressful and it didn't really feel like I did this as well as I should. I am working through something right now that I believe will help me to better focus. 
        +0 Photobucket
Spirit~ Work on my attitude and accepting me. Goddess made me a beautiful person now, I just have to own it!  --> Although I did well accepting myself this week, I had an external contributor which really sucked my emotional energy and made me feel quite negative towards another. I cannot, in good faith, accept any points for the week since I do not like having negative feelings towards others. I will continue to work on this. 
      +0 Photobucket
For the week I have earned +4 Photobucketpoints, for a total of +11 
Photobucket, which is still pretty good!!! 

For week 3 goals, I am not changing any since this past week was such a challenge. There is no sense in stressing through this experience!

Water~ Drink more of it! -- Goal is eight glasses every day next week (1 point each)
Earth~ Focus on being more grounded in life. -- Goal is to ground every morning (1 point each)
Spirit~ Work on my attitude and accepting me. Goddess made me a beautiful person now, I just have to own it! (no negativity to self... half point each day successful)


Photobucketpoints goal for the week 3 is: 24.5 points!

Blessed be!

  1. It sounds like you had a great week! I found that adding some lemon slices to my water makes it taste very good (if you like lemon). You can also add other fruits. I make a pitcher of water and add the fruit then leave it in the fridge overnight. My 15 year old son drinks it too :)

    1. Thanks for that idea! I'll have to do that. Maybe it'll get my husband to drink more water too.
