Week 2 - Fit by 40

Okay so I suck at remembering to update daily.  That's the bad news.

The good news is that I stuck to my guns and went a whole week without sodas.  YAY ME!  Okay, celebration is over.  On to week 2....

Week 2 Goal:  Nothing but water after 8 pm


Sounds so simple, but when you get home at 6:15, settle in, get homework and housework done, take care of animals, put on the elastic waist pajama pants and land on the couch, it's well after 8 pm.  And that's when I want to reward myself for another hard day survived with something sweet.  And tonight is Joe's cub scout holiday dinner which doesn't start until 7 so hopefully I'll be done and out of there by 8.

I have learned in the last week to try to be more patient as well.  It was really hard towards the end of the week to resist the carbonated fizziness of a soda, but I persevered and made it out the other side.  By Friday I was thinking of what my next week's goal was and when I would start it, but since I started Week 1 on a Monday, I figured all the weeks should start on a Monday.  Learning not to rush things is another helpful tool to get through life....probably save me $ on speeding tickets too.

So instead of trying to do everything at once, I am taking baby steps.  One thing mastered at a time before I move on and in the process I learn how to take things as they come, not rush or regret.  Wow, that sounds very zen and we all know that I am anything but, but maybe it's time to make a change.

Happy Monday!
