Re: Motivational Monday

  • I want the house to be clean before DH comes home. I made a list of what I need to do each day.

    I want to make it to every fitness class I have this week. I need to let my leg heal though and not act like I can do more than I can. No jumping or running this week, whether I feel up to it or not. I need to remember that it's more important that I feel better in the long run and not push myself too quickly.

  • I still have to send my elf her package. Three weeks I've had it now. Can I still use baby brain as an excuse when my baby is three months?

  • I need to get back to my regularly scheduled life. 

    To do this I need to wake up at a normal time, make breakfast, eat regularly, make dinner, clean up after myself, and try to function normally.

    I also want to drag my husband back to the gym this week and pull out our bikes.  We need to get active again like we were in August.

  • I plan to sit down and make a To Do list for EVERYTHING. That way it can be out of my head and maybe I'll get some sleep at night?

    Also, I vow to step away from my WIP and not look at it until next Monday.

    I'd like to get three workouts in this week (baby steps).
    I write sexy books. I read all the books. I love dresses & macarons.

  • Goals this week:
    -Do a plank every day. 
    -Four trips to the gym (one down!).
    -One yoga class (done!).
    -Don't weigh myself again (I am trying to keep it to once a week, and this morning was the time for it.).
    -Track my WW points all week.

    I am doing a seven-week challenge, and these are basically the goals each week. If I complete the challenge within 90% of my goal, I am planning to buy myself a schmancy yoga mat that they sell at the yoga studio I have started going to. The one I have now is from Target, and my hands often slip on it, so I am constantly having to readjust them.

    How I will accomplish these things:
    -Prioritize. Prioritize. Spend less time mindlessly surfing the internet. And prioritize.

  • I still need to clean my closet (which made last week's motivational monday).  Yesterday I wore jeans that were 2 sizes too big because I couldn't find either of my jeans that actually fit because they were buried somewhere under piles and piles of clothing in my closet.  I gave up the search after about 5 minutes of not finding them.  

    If any of my cats go missing I know the first place to look for them.  

    The more I keep putting this off the worse it becomes.

  • I want to brainstorm for NaNo and get some creative juices flowing.

    How am I going to do this?  Turn off the TV...hopefully.

  • My initial plan this week was to start running hills to get my running pace faster.  Then I realized my parents are out of town and they watch A while I run.  Pretty sure running hills with a jogging stroller isn't the smartest idea.  So...new goal - Amp up the ab workouts instead.

    I need to do this while Audrey is napping, otherwise, I have a 15 month old crawling on my head while I'm trying to work out.

  • I want to finish studying for midterms and do well on them. I honestly just need to plan time tomorrow and Wednesday to get it done and list out which chapters are for each session. I read through a bunch of stuff this weekend but I should have been more organized about it.

    I also want to get caught up on laundry. Please.

  • 1. Make applesauce and can (apple butter and pear-apple jelly were done over the weekend, applesauce just didn't get done).

    2. Finish clearing out the summer garden and put up my jury-rigged cold-frame, plant winter lettuce.

    3. Go back to my yoga class.  I haven't been in WEEKS.

    I'm going to accomplish this by wishing and hoping.  :)

  • We need to get our living room/hallway painted this week.  We can't put in new floors until it's done and I can't plan my ds bday party until it's all done because I don't want anyone in our house.  We have plans to do it Friday during the day. 

    I need to get back to Zumba class.  The past few weeks have been busy and I've not been able to make it to many classes.  I will make every possible effort I can to get there at least 2 or 3 times this week.
