Here I go again, moving forward.

Last week was a bit of a struggle and I did not accomplish my goals.  My excuse or reason is that I did not feel well.  I woke up today not feeling good about that; however, today is a new day and I am the boss of me.  This is the long way of saying that I can start again today.  I only tried the hula hoop a few times. 
Exercise is an important part of my current journey.  I really want to succeed but the hula hoop is such a difficult thing for me to accomplish.  I was really hoping that I would get it.  I am not sure what made me think that I could do it.  It is not like I ever got that hoop to work as a child.  I did promise myself that I would show up for an entire month so I will do that.  I am kind of hitting the reset again and starting my 30-day count over.  I will also be including 10 minutes of biking after each meal Monday through Saturday.  I will give myself a pass for any meals not eaten at home.   I do not often eat out so that should not be a problem. 
Along with not working out last week because I felt sick, I did not eat as many salads as I had planned.  My goal was two a day most days and one a day was nonnegotiable.  I am restarting that too just so I can see the change that happens with the hula hooping, biking and eating salads. 
I weighted myself this morning and wrote it down.  I will announce next Monday if I am down any or the same as my beginning weight. 
I am trying to be careful what I tell myself.  The anxiety in my head is high today.  I really feel like I wasted a week.  Alas, since I did not feel well, it could not be helped.  I am grateful for the opportunity to start again. 
I can make good choices and show up everyday.

100 Day Journey to a Better Me! Preparing

Time to start over.  It is almost 100 days until my birthday and I want to celebrate as a better me.  I have been considering my goals and what I would like to accomplish.  I am posting them here so I can get everything ready.   Eating plan: Eggs & overnight oats for breakfast Jarred salad for lunch Divided plate plan for dinner (1/4 starch, 1/4 protein, and 1/2 non-carb vegetables) Daily workouts-right now my knee hurts so I will work up my time as I can tolerate it due to the pain.  Drink enough water-6 glasses Read for school or for fun daily (I will graduate school during this challenge). Progress Pictures daily. (Took this from some else's challenge--feels a bit awkward but I will try.) Come Follow Me daily-this is family scripture study.  Here is a link Dejunking 1-100-This will include the house and the storage building.  I may end up dejunking areas or boxes instead of counting objects.   Something creative e

In the beginning

This is the beginning of my blog.   I hope that it will be a series of at least 12 thirty-day challenges.   My first challenge is to do three things: eat a salad every day, hula hoop every day and declutter my house every day.   I will skip these activities on Sunday because that is a day reserved for family and worship.        It is kind of scary to open a blog and put my goals out into the world in such a public way.   I am hopeful that this will inspire others to take steps towards their goals and keep me on track to achieving mine.   I am hopeful for a positive outcome, but at the very least if I make this public I will show up and do the work that I have set out to do.   I am responsible for the actions that I take, even though I cannot control the outcome.        For myself, I dream of having my blood sugar under control.   This involves making good choices in how I eat and taking proper medication.   I hope that having a salad daily will move me in the right direction.

 Today I have been thinking about the concept of enough.  I am doing two things that make me consider enough.  The first is the continuous dejunking that I am doing.  Even thought I am taking it slow I need to figure out how much of everything I need and eliminate the rest.  I am working on that with some help from minimalist ideas and just looking at what I like and what I want to have in my home   The other part is food.  I am working to serve myself the right amount of food so that I will be a good weight.  I want enough  but I don't want to waste food but I don't want to be hungry either.   I will strive to understand this concept and learn to have enough.   I am also a bit perplexed because we learned that there are supply chain issues in 2020.  How much storage is appropriate.  Just something to think about.
