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.
