It’s been a week and a hard one at that. Just tracking is hard, but I should have put a reinforcer in place just to track the data for this first week. Now that I have baseline I’m going to pick 3 goals to put into intervention and start tracking the progress. The baseline data that looked like I’d be most successful with was drinking more water, doing yoga, and walking more. My baseline for walking was 1766 steps per day. A good goal would be 2000 steps/day. It’s just a little above the average for each day and 3 out of the 6 days I’ve reached or exceeded that average so striving for 6 out 7 days a week of 2000 steps is doable. Shooting for 3500 steps everyday would be a tall order compared to my other scores. I was able to do it one day, but I clearly can’t on a regular basis, so I need to set a goal that I can get a more consistent result and then move up from there.
Water was my next potential goal as I know it doesn’t take much effort to drink water and I have a high likelihood of contacting reinforcement if I set my goal around something attainable. Looking at the graph on most days I drank between 10 and 20 ounces, so I’m going to set my goal at 17 ounces 6 days a week.
Finally, I’m going to work on doing more yoga. I did yoga 3 times out of 6 days and would like to get to 6 days a week.
