Week One in a Nutshell

Hello everyone!!!  Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  Sorry I missed a couple of days.  Need to make a few adjustments in my time management.

Overall, I am very happy with week one of my journey.  As I a whole new person? Noooooo.....  Is my house now a home and company ready?  Absolutely not.  So please do NOT drop by.....  But I have actually been happy this week.  I have worked on my goals and I see progress.  That is success!!!

Let's do a little goal update: 

For my first goal of losing 10 pounds - I did actually lose 7 pounds this week.  I know it won't continue at that rate, but I love the first week boost.  I have logged MOST of my food but need to work on that a little this next week.  I did not do so good with the packing of my lunch or menu planning.  That needs much work.  I did exercise at least 15 minutes every day but one.  I only cooked one or two meals, so that needs much improvement as well.

My second goal of having the clean, functional kitchen -  well, that did not go so well this week and moved up in importance to focus on in the coming week.

My third goal of taking better care of me - now this was my biggest victory this week.  I cleansed and moisturized my face every night.  Every day I fixed my hair and put on makeup.  I do need to work on making time to write though.

Now, a tip for all my fellow procrastinators out there.....  If you have a smart phone, use it to your advantage.  I made a list of things that need done including things that I need/want to do daily, weekly, etc.  Give them all due dates and reminder times.  For daily items, you will want to set them up as recurring.  Find a good app to download for to do lists and see where it takes you.  I actually got things done this week I have been putting off for months.  Be sure to set up the reminders so your phone reminds you of what needs done.  I tried a couple before I found the one that works best for me.  Best of all, the app was FREE!!!

Stay tuned for week 2 of my journey.  Let me hear from you on how your own personal journey is going and what goals you have set for yourself.

Until tomorrow.....
