Getting Better

I am happy to announce that even though I have yet to reach my goals, and yet to earn a prize, I am getting better. My living room is cleaner more often, and I have worked out more in the past week than I did the previous week.

When it comes to my living room, there were only a few days that I didn't get it clean (I wish I could say it was only days that I was working). Since my living room/dining room area are the rooms that people see when they first come into my house, I want them as clean as possible as often as possible. Even though I have yet to reach my living room goal, I am adding the dining room to it for that reason. My goal this week is to have the living room and dining room cleaned and vacuumed at least once a day. I really want to get that painting hung, so I think I will accomplish it this time.

As far as working out goes, I used the broken part for the Wii as an excuse to not work out at all. Tuesday night I stopped using it as an excuse and pulled out one of my exercise videos finally started working out again. That night I told myself that I was not aloud to have soda the next day unless I got some exercise in first. The next morning I got out another video and did a work out after dropping the boys off at school. Today, I made the same rule for myself. I walked the boys to school and walked to and from the gas station before I aloud myself a soda. The threat of cutting off my soda seems to get me into gear. I am going to have the goal of working out at least 3 days this week again. If I do that, I will get some pretty yarn.

I know that I can do this. I am feeling a bit more motivated now that the kids are back in school.

And the Lazy Award Goes To...Me

I don't know what is wrong with me. I just can't reach my goals lately.  I am going to start over today. This time I will accomplish...something at least.

For my cleaning goal this week, I am going to keep the same goal. I am going to pick up and vacuum the living room everyday. I need a better reward though. I am going to reward myself with hanging my new painting that I got for my birthday. (I can't get my pics to work on here lately, but the pic of the painting is on my facebook page.)

For my weight loss goal, I am not going to concentrate on my weight as much as my habits. I am going to work out at least 3 days this week. If I can do that, I will get some pretty cotton yarn.

Wish me luck!

Goal Update

I did great on my goals for the first few days. It is really hard for me to get back into the swing of things for some reason.  I really want to get my life in order. My kids need to learn good habits. They will learn a lot of their habits from me since I am the parent they are around the most. I have got to step up my game and stop being so lazy. I am going to restart my goals tonight. I can do this. I will check in next week. Maybe if I keep in mind that others, no matter how few, are checking in on my progress, I would accomplish my goals.  I am going to place my orange goal folder somewhere that it is more visible to remind me to get the daily stuff done.
My main cleaning goal for this week is to have my living room and vacuumed everyday. My reward will be finally taking down all of my pictures and rearranging them in a way that my ex-husband is less of a presence in my home (I know it is lazy pathetic that I haven't done this yet).
My weight goal for this week is to get down to 170 by next Thursday.
