Thursday Update

This week is flying by.  I am still working on my routines.  They are slowly coming along.  I know I am trying to make changes in several areas of my life all at the same time and that will make it more difficult but I just need to keep pushing forward.  I also need to not be too hard on myself if I slip.  A friend posted these 10 Steps to Self-Care on Facebook today.  I will be using these as guidelines to keep reaching for my dreams.

My first goal is my weight.  Wednesday I weighed 266.4 pounds and today it was 264.8 pounds.  I am 4.8 pounds away from meeting my first goal.  This is very exciting.

I have only been walking 10 minutes on the treadmill at 3.0 mph daily.  I am having a few problems with cramping in my legs but I am determined to get in some exercise daily.

Menu planning and cooking is going well.  Last night was margarita night so I didn't have to cook then.  Tonight I prepared another recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks from The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond.  Supper tonight was pot roast with potatoes and carrots.  It was yummy.

I have taken all my medications this week and can really tell a difference.  This is one routine I must not slip up on again.

As far as the house goals, those haven't been going quite as well but I keep trying.  My goal again for tomorrow is to spend 15 minutes in my room and the living room and 30 minutes in the kitchen.  When these goals are easily being met, I will add to them.

How are things going for you?  Have you set any new goals?  Let me know how it is going.  Share your dreams and start taking the steps needed to reach those.

             Until tomorrow . . . . . . . . . . .
