Do you ever have those moments where you are just so frustrated you
can't stand it anymore? I am feeling that way tonight. My kid's rooms
are a mess. They have had no TV for a week and still are not cleaning
their rooms. My room is a mess for that matter. I have papers I keep
hitting as I type. It is driving me batty. I feel very unorganized and
irritated at the state of my house and being. The state of my mind,
body and house are not optimal at this moment. I'd say my weight, but I
am working really hard to avoid body shaming myself. Getting angry
over the scale really doesn't help me love myself, and my body doesn't
metabolize fat better just because I am mad at it. Gee, it sure would
be nice if it were that easy!
So here we go. I am
sitting here frustrated and realized that the best way to motivate
myself is to set some goals (well I already had some) now to make them
public and work on achieving them.
My current goals have been:
Complete my morning routine, complete my evening routine. Plan menus,
get 64 oz of water a day and get to the point where I can run a mile in
10 minutes.
My morning routine consists of:
Being Grateful
An
Hour of Power (thank you Darren Hardy!) This includes reading
positive content, meditation writing in my journal, time for reading
scriptures and praying.
Make my bed
Bathroom blitz (wipe surfaces and swish the toilet) Flylady calls this the swish and swipe
Start a load of laundry
Empty the dishwasher
Finish 32 oz water
My Evening routine consists of:
Wash all dishes and empty the sink
Start the dishwasher
Wipe down counters and table
Sweep the floor (Mostly the high traffic areas)
Empty the garbage
Finish 32 oz water
Set out water for the next day (2 mugs of 32 oz)
What am I eating tomorrow?
Set out exercise clothes
When's my bedtime?
I am working to have these completed daily for 60 days in a row. So join me! I will report and share how my journey goes.
The
next step...Set a plan for menu planning, running, and approaching each
meal intuitively. We will talk about that in the next post.
So how about you? Do you have a morning and evening routine? Is it working for you?
It's Been a long journey to get to where I am. Sometimes it feels like I start and stop and start again. Revisiting things I have done, said I would do, know and haven't done. So to get out of this rut of starting and stopping again, I am revitalizing this blog and creating a Knowledgebase. A place to learn from my life experiments and remember what I set out to do. Building upon the knowledge I had before. Always learning and always improving

It's hard. I KNOW the routines help. But I am off the wagon in so many ways, and the coming holidays make it all, well, worse. I am trying my best with some RAFs, and making sure I have some fresh veggies and veg juices a few times this past week. And trying to breathe.....deeply, when I have those moments being driven batty!
Thanks Nancy! This was a moment of clarity and commitment for me.
It sounds like you are doing amazing. Veg, RAFs and breathing are all so important and you are doing them. Even with the holidays coming, you are doing them. YAY!
