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.

I've been impressed by your weight loss! Wouldn't it be great if just thinking about exercise burned calories?! I'd be anorexic.

One of the things we tell our clients is "only a small change is necessary." That's because small changes add up to big results if you stick with it. Sounds like you've got the concept down!
