I’m about to go outside and try to tackle mowing the yard. My husband has always done this (he says that it’s the only exercise he gets) but there’s no way he can with his back the way it is. Actually, it’s all going to depend on whether or not I can start the mower with my shoulder the way it is.
Shake for breakfast. Lunch will depend on how I…[Read more]

Nikki Massie started the topic How to stop making excuses in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 6 months ago
So I am big into podcasts. One I just discovered and LOVE is called “Optimal Living Daily.” Basically it finds great blog posts about living your best life, and reads them to you – one each day! The podcast is usually 8-10 minutes and I listen on my walk from the parking lot into work.
This one is about excuses. We all make them. And they tend to…[Read more]

I’ve been a little all over the place lately and I am ready for that to stop. I did better this morning with breakfast (a meat/cheese roll-up) and I have my eats for the day. It’s raining cats and dogs here in Baltimore but I may just go out walking at lunch anyway.
I’ll check in throughout the day. What’s going on with you guys?

Catching up with old friends is good! I’m glad you got to do that – and glad you went to bed early-ish (for you). LOL.
(Side note: Enough of us have trouble with getting to bed early that that I think that is DEFINITELY going to be part of the “Simple Healthy Habits” Challenge.)

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Done. Definitely going to have to work on changing my narrative. I hate it when the logical part of my brain and the emotional part of my brain disagree. 😠</p>

If you made your list yesterday, you have your marching orders on what to DO today.
What I’d like you to write about is this.
How do you feel about making time to do things for yourself? Does that feeling make you more or less likely to do those things?
Lastly, do you think that feeling, that narrative, needs to change?

Mid-week sweep! How’s your plan going? I feel like you had the food planned up-front so that’s probably going pretty well. Is the exercise going as planned?

Mid-week sweep! Looks like your plan is going ok. I’m glad the Oreos are gone (they are the devil). Otherwise, are you on track to complete your weekly plan?

Mid-week sweep! (That means I’m sweeping through…checking to see how your weekly plan is going…)
Report back! How’s it going? What’s getting done? What’s been challenging you? Let’s talk about it!

How’s this plan going? I know you already knocked out the cooking ahead part but how has it been going with a better sleep routine!

Today is the day! I meet with the new plastic surgeon in hopes that I can FINALLY complete my reconstruction after mastectomy. Fingers crossed!

I’m so glad you got that sorted out. I think Robin had that same experience (if I’m remembering correctly) with prepping food ahead of busy stuff. That can really take a load off.
I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow for your surgery! Please let us know, when you can, how you are doing.

Lots to do and not much energy to do it.
Breakfast will most likely be a shake.
Lunch will be deli meat, a cheese stick and a kiwi.
Dinner is leftovers.

All done. However, instead of making my list start tomorrow, mine is starting today. I really like this. I’m thinking that I will be making a list like this every week.
