What was is gone, what is to come can still be. If I do what I've always done, I'll get what I've always got. This needs to change. Here I challenge myself to that change and see what can yet become of this chapter of my life.

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!!
