One of the things I struggle with is finding the time to blog. I want to do this. I want to help others. I also want to use it for my own accountability. I have a really hard time finding time for it since I have a cherub of a 20 month old who thinks that any time I am on the computer, it's for her own enjoyment, ie: to watch videos of puppies playing on YouTube. Crazy lil girl!
I downloaded a Blogger app for my phone which I'm excited to be able to use. For whatever reason, the baby will let me fuss with my phone but not the laptop. This way I can update from the couch, on a break at work, etc.
So, I'm continuing to work hard on my choices, as in making healthy choices in both food, drinking my water and exercise. I'm working through goal setting right now. For a nerdy girl like me, it's a really interesting process. I have goals: as a mom, as a wife and as an individual. Then as an individual, I have goals about drinking enough water, getting enough sleep, food choices and exercise. The first step was to create a visualization of what I want.
For me, I want a healthy body. To me, I picture myself, trim, strong, muscles toned, running down the side of the road. I can even picture what kind of shorts, tank top and shoes I'm wearing. I stay focused on that when someone brings cookies to the office or when I'm at a restaurant choosing between a salad or fries.
The next step is to define the goals, definable goals, and work on the steps to getting there. That's what I'm working on right now. One of my definable goals is to increase both my speed and my endurance running. I'm working on a workout schedule to hold myself accountable that both works how fast and how long I will run. Is it nerdy that I'm excited about a calendar?
So.... I am running tomorrow. I have to get up at 5am to do it. You have my permission to ask me if I did it and if not, beat me with a wet noodle :)
Have a great night!
