(Inaugural) Motivational Monday!
What do you want to accomplish this week?
How are you going to go about doing that?
Re: (Inaugural) Motivational Monday!
Follow my SK blog as I reread the entire SK library (again!):
http://www.skallthetime.blogspot.com/
1) Finish my resume
2) Can some pickles, hopefully tonight
3) Stick to my points
How?
1) I really want J to submit his resume to his dream job that he's terrified to apply to so I told him I'd update mine as well. Since it's mostly for him, that's motivation enough.
2) Get everything prepped and washed before Wes goes to bed so I have plenty of time tonight to do it.
3) Tracking my points daily. Not beat myself up about any slip ups.

I also need to do a bunch of vacation baking on Friday when we get the stove back. Two weeks of crockpot and grilled meals..I'm so looking forward to Friday.
I guess I'll tackle it by getting off my computer and doing it! Easier said than done..
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”

Clean and unpack (we've only lived here for a year) as much as I can this week before school starts next Monday. That also includes cleaning/organizing my H and I's (yes we share) office at school. It brings a whole new meaning of closeness when you share a space big enough for 3 desks and 2 filing cabinets with your SO. Luckily I'm only really "in" the office for 30min-1 hour/day to eat lunch. More than that if I'm procrastinating
How? Work as hard as I can each day but let myself just chill after about 8pm or so each night. H and I are taking probably a half day trip on Thursday just to relax as well
- yoga every other day
- walk for at least a half hour every other day
- pick up a book and read...
- scrub the kitchen floor
How??
- get off my ass
- get off my ass and pull DH up with me
- stay on my ass and pick that book up! I could also get DH to set the treadmill back up and I could read AND walk. Hmmm....
- get off my ass...and get some sort of mask or something because I doubt the chemicals would be good for me to breathe in right now.

* After 22 months and 2 failed IUIs, we finally got our BFP *
DS delivered naturally at 41w6d on 4/18/14
Want to accomplish: Going for a few runs. I'm signed up for the color run at the end of the month and haven't been doing anything.
How? I've already got my gym bag packed and in the car, so there's no excuse not to go after work.

-quit watching so much crap tv and read!
