October Goals

Monday, October 03, 2011

As I yet begin again. I figure that I need to have a few goals. I am going to have weekly goals & mthly goals.

My goals fro October are:
1. cardio @ least 3x a week
2. strength training @ least 3x a wk
3. eat fruits & veggies every day
4. come on sparkpeople everday
5. do a status update everyday


Week 1 goals 4 Oct
1. go to church
2. start packing up things in the house that we no longer use
3. get kitchen back in order

These are my goals to get me back onto the road of recovery. My reward if I do all these things - I will get a pedicure; I havent had one in about2 yrs & that was because I was in a wedding

I realized I had not heard from you for awhile and then saw this blog. Do what you can. I care. One day at a time. Jane on Guam (Love your fall picture!!!) Comment edited on: 9/23/2011 7:41:09 AM Report Inappropriate Comment

I can relate to the phone. I hate when it rings. If the people knocking on the door are selling something then ignore away. The rest of the Demons just need to be given a Big Karate Chop where the sun doesn't shine.. a kick in the shins... a punch in the nose... A right to the gut.. Your Spark Buddies are here for you!

It is question 4 that always gets me - people making rude remarks like they are perfect. I love your question 10 and more than that your answer!! YOU ARE A SURVIVOR! I do have one suggestion for you - Will your doctor prescribe some physical therapy for you? If so that might be the start for more physical activity - just a thought. Best wishes fellow sparker!

Do one good thing for yourself today! Report Inappropriate Comment

Seems like this summer has been a bad one for lots of people...including yours truly. Let's try to stay on Spark and let the power of positivity take the wheel for a while...behind the Lord, of course! But the Lord helps those who help themselves, and if all we can do is make a real effort to Spark it, we'll be going in the right direction. I'm saying this to you, but just as much to myself right now. I'll be praying for you. Report Inappropriate Comment

My thoughts go with you as you see about your health insurance. Pain can definitely have a major part on ones motivation for anything...I know. One step at a time....work on one issue, then, go to another. Shoot me a message, and I'll do what I can to help. Nancy (Mahogany Melters ) Report Inappropriate Comment

Sometimes getting back on track can be the toughest thing. Find what motivates you. Also find out what you really want, do not let small things stand in the way. This week take one thing you need to work on and change that per day. Do not beat yourself up. I read a blog recently that I really loved it was about trying to be perfect ... Don't I think when you do you see yourself as a failure when you don't achieve perfection. Just keep working at it, chipping away at your layers you will figure it all out again!

Maga, we have both been struggling with a lot lately.My folks are trying to help as your husband is. Don't stop at getting a disability attorney. I think you often get better results. see if anyone else has ideas. Hope for us both, why would we be given so much pain? To my knowledge, I have only helped people, certainly I never intentionally inflictrg harn to another. Take care and let's hope we both improve soon. Report Inappropriate Comment

JILLV1022 8/22/2011 10:24PM

i know it is hard to stay positive when things feel out of control. try to think about the good things if you can. it sounds like your husband is helpful and there for you and that is great. hope you start feeling better soon!!! Report Inappropriate Comment
