Behavioral Contract 9 June- 7 July

Image
By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Even though I made a workout plan I am still falling a little behind in my training so I decided to make a behavioral contract with myself. A behavioral contract can help you when you are making lifestyle changes and it sets up a reward system for adopting new behaviors. Once the goal is met (or the contract expires) another must take its place for the program to be effective. This will not contain everything that is in a typical behavioral contract since I am the client and the trainer.

I will:

  • Perform Cardio-respiratory Training / Resistance Training
  • On weekdays
  • 3-5 days per week                         / 2 days per week
  • 20-30 minutes at RPE of 4-5          / body weight


How confident am I that I can do this? 8
(1- not confident, 10 completely confident)

If I successfully make this lifestyle change by 7 July, I will reward myself with a new beauty product.
If I fail to successfully make this lifestyle change I will forfeit this reward.

I am very excited for my reward. I'm thinking of maybe getting a powder from BeautiControl. I just recently got SPF from them and am waiting on my shipment of makeup to come in. It's great quality and doesn't make me break out.

Well now its time for me to get some yard work in. There may be a post on that later today or tomorrow.

Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Today my husband and I completed the Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run! We got there at 07:30 bright and early. Before we went I ate a little bit of fruit and packed some things we might need (lots of towels, baby wipes, eye drops, snacks for afterwards, water, and electrolytes). I really enjoyed myself and it was empowering to accomplish it! Jake and I did it together all the way through. I'm so thankful that I have such an amazing husband that is so patient with me and helped me all the way through the event. The event was just short of 6 miles. It had over ten obstacles and included mud pits and a run through the woods that was very muddy! At the end we got some free water, Gatorade, fruit, snacks, and beer! I was very surprised but my Fitbit Surge held up pretty well! The only thing is when we got sprayed with water at the end, the force of the water must have hit one of the buttons and it turned off my Fitbit. That was as we were crossing the finis...

LASIK: Three Week Review

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
So on May 27th I had my LASIK surgery! I'm going to write the great, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The Day Of The morning of the surgery I woke up very early to make the 1.5 hour drive the where the center was. They said to make sure to eat the morning of because they didn't want the valium to make my stomach upset. I managed to get some nuts, granola, and some other snacks down. I was really nervous so eating a bit was hard. If I could do it again I would have eaten an actual breakfast! I didn't eat enough and afterwards I was very nauseous. When I finally got to the clinic I waited about a half an hour after my appointment time to be seen. I wasn't in a huge hurry just very anxious and the wait didn't help. I already new what to expect but I just wanted it done and over with. I was finally called in and we went over some paperwork that I had to sign, they made sure I knew about all the risks involved, I made the payment, and then they gave me a little happ...
