I am thankful for my home today. It's a simple little house, nothing special, but we are able to live comfortably without the fear of being too cold/hot and we have shelter from the elements.
My goal is to journal for the next 21 days. I actually started monday so I don't really have 21 days. I need to remember that I need to journal even the cookies I eat.
Wow, where have I been? I am glad to see everyone is trying a 21 day habit. I can't think of anything health wise right now because I am journaling, exercising, eating right. Actually I really need to start with weights, but I don't want to just yet until I am shown the correct way to use them. Maybe I should not speak badly of myself for 21 days.
Janice-I am smaree123. Do a search. When you find my sparkpage, all my teams are on there. I am the leader for the Charlotte, Collier and Lee Counties Fl Sparkteam, I am on the LA Fitness team and a few more. I will try to find you too!
Suzy and Gayle-Hugs to both of you!!
Dee-They have water aerobics at my gym. I might try it sometimes, if I can get into a bathing suit without being too self conscious.
Shelley ~ I think not speaking badly of yourself would be a great new habit to acquire!
How did everyone do on Day 2? I had an ok day. I did get on the treadmill, but we ate dinner at a local diner which has very few, if any, healthy choices. I ended up getting a grilled chicken sandwich and iced tea (skipped the fries...yay for me!), so not totally terrible and I think I stayed within my calorie limit.
Shelley, how about every time a negative thought pops in your head, you change it to something else that is positive?
I won't be starting the challenge until Friday, but then I will be set to go! I am going to continue the reasons to be thankful.
I am thankful today that I am able to take my mother out of town for her annual heart exam with the specialist. 3.5 years ago not even the doctors expected her to live. My brother is going along, which will need for me to practice patience and the biting of the tongue. I will be very thankful if I make it home tonight without losing my temper all day! LOL!
I am going to join in on the 21-day challenge; I am going to start journaling my food intake again (counting calories). I'm back up to 250, which is a 4-lb. gain. I stayed at 246 forever, and I guess I thought the scale wasn't going to go back up and I got lax. Gotta get going again!
I am not starting until Wednesday next week. The Biggest Loser show starts Tuesday night. I plan on doing the program the same time as they are. Weigh ins will be Tuesday.
I did drink 6 glasses of water today and walked for an hour.
I am thankful to have time to work on Me.
