Ladies, tomorrow is the day! Are you ready? (I am so ready at this moment, although I hadn't thought about it all day, so we'll see how ready I am when I get halfway through tomorrow and realize, "Oh, yeah. I was supposed to be tracking what I am eating.")
Whatever your goals, post them here or post them at home on your bathroom mirror, refrigerator, steering wheel, etc., but write down what you are going to do to LIVE this week and post them somewhere that you will see it frequently. They don't have to be perfect goals--you can adjust them each week as you figure out for yourself what works and what doesn't. Don't make major adjustments to them everyday because that's procrastination (i.e. "I didn't exercise yesterday, so I'm going to exercise six days a week starting TODAY, and today will be my one day of the week off.")
Also, comment on this post to let me know what day of the week you want to post inspiration on. Pick a day that your head isn't spinning already with deadlines and pressure.
Good luck ladies! We can do this!

Rah! Rah! Rah! I have discovered a new trick! If you are staying at a hotel with a big breakfast buffet that tempts you to eat twice as much as usual, and, the night before, you think, "I will eat dinner for breakfast in the morning," And then you eat only healthy foods, you do not gain weight! So, eat dinner for breakfast if you know you'll be tempted. That's my tip. And now, I need a tip from you Alison. Can I post on this or only comment? I don't see a place on my screen where I can create an original post, only respond to your posts.
ReplyDeleteAnd one more thing. I'm thinking of Margaret, who's having surgery today. Go, Margaret! We're cheering you on!
Commenting is fine because everyone will still see your comment, but you all should be able to post a new post as well. Up at the top of your page there should be a box that says, "new post". Is that there?
DeleteThere isn't. That's why I asked. But I'm fine with just commenting. What about when I want to become, like, a VIP or something? I might want to know how.
DeleteSo, I'll take Mondays for my inspirational comment.
ReplyDeleteYou get Mondays because you are the only person to have claimed a day! Also, you are already a VIP. You don't need to post on a blog to make you one.
ReplyDeleteMonday-My day to inspire you! Do not think that joining a blog or making a goal is the end. You are not dead. That is the end. Setting a goal is only the beginning. Now is the time to assess your goals. Are you achieving them? Are they at least helping you get closer to where you want to be? Are you reviewing them regularly? What are they helping you achieve? What have you forgotten? What is actually impossible that needs to be changed as a goal? We have to take our goals seriously or we are not being honest with ourselves. Ourselves are the most important people to be honest with. Time to review goals and recommit. Time to be a little more alive. Do you think your body is telling you it's too tired? Actually, your body is trying to tell you it needs you to get up and get going even if it's not easy to do, but you aren't listening because you're tired. Do it anyway and you won't be! You really don't have scheduling problems. You're using that as an excuse. (Except for Margaret. You get a free pass this week. The rest of us have no excuse.) Go Mamas!
ReplyDeletemy goodness Claire what an incredible inspiration you are!!! I will read this great inspirational comment daily and go and do!!! I almost stuck to my goals last week by doing my phys ther exercises, except for one day, biking two out of three. I actually lost a pound and a half...it took the scale four days before it started to budge...thank you girls for getting us all moving; I am thinking of all of you girls and Robert ( Ella Mae) when I feel tempted and your comment Claire is sooo true: "ourselves are the most important people to be honest with". Go us!!!
