Hi all! action-smiley-065.gif
Here's a simple challenge for all of us today!
Choose ONE thing to improve upon today.

I'm already making a big long list in my sick li'l head,,
but NO, I say! ONE thing to improve upon and record
on paper or the computer...somewhere you know you can keep
track of progress.
I've not been getting all my water in and so, I'm
committed to doing that today. How much water is enough???
Take your weight and divide it by 2 and there's your number.
Once I know the specific I'm shooting for...I can be
conscious about going after that goal.
What ONE thing will your challenge include???

Good morning Mickee! Since I was fighting a plateau, I have really been conscious of following the rules so foodwise, there really isn't anything for me to change. I busted my plateau and the scale is heading downward again so I think for me it will be to get more walking in because I don't take enough time doing it now that I am going to Curves.

celadon! Congrats on breaking through that plateau!
It's like some actual wall has crumbled! I'm so happy for you!
Where would you like to walk?? You could hop around while running the vacuum!
Now, THERE's a picture for you!

Emarie.. How many mins would you like to be sure to get in today??
5??? 10??? Make it a "doable" thing and THEN challenge yourself!
At times, I just need to break through my paralysis of non-action.
You know what I mean??

Go get 'em gals!

Mickee, I struggle with the exercise thing. I do great for awhile to the point of getting obcessed and then I slow down. I have always been a walker and before surgery, I could barely move because of the tendonitis in my knees. Since surgery, it is as easy as it ever was and the more I lose, the easier it gets. So, I just have to get off my butt and go! I live in a very rural setting and Sandi likes to tease me when I say I am off to walk in the neighborhood. Wouldn't it be just loverly if I could actually go for a walk and be visiting all of you? I would never come home!!!

We miss you, too, Tami, when you're not around.
Is the stress lightening up a little?
How's the job going?

Sometimes the stress seems to ease up and then it comes crashing back down again! I had to leave work early yesterday as mom was home alone and we had a ewe drop twin lambs. The grandkids were there, but mom isn't supposed to go outside to the barn yet. She did as I didn't make it home fast enough, but all is well.

The job is going great. I have already knocked their sox off. I got them caught up weeks before they expected that so they are searching for other things for me to do!
