13 of 100 ... Weekend's Success!



Not much time to write tonight (have to get up and be at work very early tomorrow ... between 6:30 and 7:00, and anyone who knows me well, knows that is a real challenge for me!  I'm doing part of a job for a girl that is going to be away over the next week, and survival tomorrow is going to be my primary goal.  I think I know how to not crash and burn on the weekends!  Let's test it next weekend again and see if the results are the same.


Part 1 - Gratitude Moments in my Day.
1. Today, I am grateful for: getting my food for work tomorrow all prepped and in the fridge!  on the menu: Greek Salad with chicken, an apple, veggies, and a few other things.  The plan is to have breakfast before I go ..
2. Today, I am grateful for: having a good, productive day!  Again, not everything checked off, but a few! And that's always a good feeling!
3. Today, I am grateful for: getting focused in the morning and maintaining it throughout the day.
4.  Today, I am grateful for: the weather.  It wasn't horrible (no snow, no rain ... at least from my experience) and when I went out, I did so without a coat.  Maybe spring is here?
5. Today, I am grateful for: the Blackhawks winning their game and moving up in the playoffs!  I'm not a huge hockey fan, but I do like to pick a team and follow them through ... for the last 3 years, it's been the 'Hawks, and here we go again!


Part 2: Steps out of the Rut
1.  6 cups of water?  Yup!! I found an app to remind me as I wish, and it worked wonderfully!!! One more week of 6 cups and we'll up the amount.
2.  Empty sink?  Yup!! And I washed my dishes 3 times today to make sure!
3.  Activity?  Start of a new week ... all the activity I did was walking around for groceries and some shopping.  Not what I'd consider 'activity'. 


Time to add something new:  I've been doing some thinking and the next area I want to ease into is nutrition.  So, here's the plan:
1.  I want to plan my meals ahead of time and then eat to plan.  As part of this, I want to record everything I eat on those days.  Right now, I'm going to start with planning for 3 days a week.  It might be more, but we'll start this week at 3 days.  (Hence, my ready lunch!) 
2.  In that day of planned meals, I need to include a salad of some sort at lunch or supper and a piece of fruit of some sort throughout the day.  In the past, I take fruit, but I don't always eat it. 
** In honesty, this shouldn't be hard ... until I get home.  That's often where things fall apart.  So, here's to a focused attack on following through on home-life, also!
3.  And one more thing - this shouldn't be hard but I have been slipping recently:  I need to remember to take my medication every day. 


There ... let's start the next week!  ... and off to bed I go ...


(Not sure how to get rid of all this space below ... will attempt another day ...)
Next day ... did it!!
