Progress Post 3


     As you can see, my progress is up and down in a little bit of everywhere. I have really tried to step up my game. Maybe I should work on my weekly average rather than my day-to-day average. I know the two come together. I just feel like a day-to-day check-in would be better for me mentally.

    With the holidays, I did gain 2.3 pounds. I am not proud of that. It's actually eating at me to the point. I have somewhat become angry at myself. Being at home makes it twice as hard to really be mobile. Anytime I get up my toddler is constantly in my face wanting me to pick her up. There are no excuses though. I should've done a better job regulating my food intake. But small starts count too!

    The fact that I'm tracking my daily step count is progress. It might not be perfection, but it is a start. Our current cold weather has kind of trapped me in the house as well. The windchill was so cold today that my face went numb while I was feeding all our farm animals. I couldn't feel my hands by the time I got back in the house. When I regained feeling, it was scorching hot heat on my hands.

    I think tomorrow I'm going to really strive to hit the 8000 step goal. I might even go in there and work on my treadmill for a little while. I'll have to find my oil and perhaps I can get the belt to running. I'm pretty handy when it comes to things like that. YouTube videos also help. Anyway, I'll post a progress report here again in a few days. Wish me luck!

Lists Again

        While cleaning out some storage boxes today I found various books with list being used as book marks. These books are well worn and have been read dozens of times. The lists were left in chapters that I deemed important. I reread some of the saved items and soon discovered that I had a list of what my thirties need to look like. It's a laughable concept. I really had all these plans as to how my thirties would look and be. Let me share a few of them with you.  #4. I will be an independent woman that doesn't rely on any man.  #9. I will have obtained a master's degree in some field that has purpose.  #21. I will live somewhere far away from town.  #24. I will have the job I have been wanting my whole life.  #31. Break away from family that doesn't see me for me.  #39. Buy a car that no one else has ever owned.         Context:         I wrote this list as a first year teacher. I was 21 ...

Lists Continued

 I will share some of my old lists. Not all content is sharable.   #14. Leave all unfinished business in the past.      I wish I could tell you guys what this was referencing, but I cannot remember. This list was made so many years ago. I wanted to do "this" before I turned 30. I can just about bet it had something to do with an old flame or some transgression I had with a peer. In my younger years I was so full of life bursting with opinionated attitude. Not caring what others thought about me was freeing in many ways. It was my way or the high. I was not well liked and often struggled with friendships. The younger me was so self confident and self assured. I knew what I wanted and went for it. She could have conquered the world. I was voted by my peers my high school year as being the most outspoken. I would say my peace and move on.      I admire the younger me. She was inspiring and willing to push through what ever wall got in her way. I gues...

Lists 2.0

 #40. Fly in a plane.  Check A+.       I did end up flying in a plane. The year I turned 30 was one of the best year's of my life so far. My best friend/ sister convinced me to go to the infamous Vegas. The four hour flight was breathtaking and I will forever remember the feeling of lifting off. I do not ever really want to fly again. We hit some MAJOR turbulence on the way home and I was frightened to the point I had a panic attack.      We enjoyed seven days of shows,  shopping, and exploring. We averaged over 15,000 steps a day and slept well at night. That was what life was like before children. My sister and I could take off with a moment's notice and go where ever. We took off to NYC to watch the ball drop one year. As it turns out it isn't an actual ball at all.  #45. Save a life.      Well, this one is really out there. Let me think...   I have saved a life but not like a you are thinking though. I go and...
