60-Day Challenge Check-In Day 24

Happy Spring!

Comments

Have been falling off the food wagon since yesterday. Thursdays are always bad because my cleaning lady comes (too busy straigtening to have breakfast; at lunchtime she is in my kitchen). Today is Purim, a holiday with a lot of religious significance, but also with some of the trappings of Halloween. So I had some junk candy last night (along with a quick, but not totally unhealthy dinner, that involved ketchup and mayo with HFCS)--and then could not fall asleep despite being exhausted. Connected? Only in my head? No idea.

But STILL FLOSSING! Hooray for me. Is it already day 24?

Happy spring!

I havent checked in for a long time but I'm doing good:
1) Went to the gym twice this week, am planning on going again on the weekend
2) Had sex TWICE this week. WOAH! Hah
3) Have been given no choice by my son but to not spend much time online as if I dont do exactly what he wants me to do, he will now bite me. Um, any advice on getting an 11month old to stop biting?!

Still good on my goals - BWO+ this morning, got sunscreen on my face and have my thermos sitting in front of me, reminding me to fill it up and drink it today!

And because I've found that I *can* keep up with my commitment to t-tapping, yesterday, I signed up for the Habit Formers group. So even once this challenge is over, I'm planning on sticking with it. woo hoo!

Moxie, can you get any discounts on products if you refer people? I'd be happy to tell them you sent me!

@ andrea
When he bites, say something like "ouch! no biting" and then put him down on the floor and walk away. I have found that anything less didn't get the message through to my son (12 months). But once I started leaving him alone in a room, he caught on pretty quickly.

On the challenge, I'm doing pretty well. My coffee goal has been accomplished - I can make it through the day without any caffeine and am none the worse for wear. I have it from time to time, but really savor it when I have it, rather than sucking it down.

On resuming my old pre-baby sugar free ways, I'm doing pretty well, but could still do better.

Cleaning 10 minutes a day - doing pretty well. Fortunately, I am still in no danger of dying with an immaculate house. :) I've also been getting rid of stuff.

Like others, this has also gotten me to think about other goals and start realizing them. I sort of think of this is the "Just Go Ahead and Be the Person You Really Want to Be Challenge." One of my goals is to make my son laugh more often. That's a fun one.

Two days ago I did 20 minutes of Pilates and did my Bible reading but wasn't in bed until 12:30, yikes!

Yesterday I was in bed by 10 but didn't do any exercise of Bible reading.

Could it be that I just don't have time to get "it all" done and still get to bed on time. What is "it all" anyways?

Did fantastically on water yesterday!

Some exercise moving; lots more today.

No snuggles last night.

No reading, although I should have time today while the nice people are putting a line in for the gas stove at the house! If I'm not too sleepy.

I hate having to get up 3 hours early. Spose I may as well try to get used to it..

Supplements, check. Exercise, check. Mindful eating -- no. Apparently I can't be mindful about nachos. Sigh. Still, it's a work in progress. Positive self-talk, check!

drank milk (got more!!) and took my fish oil.
didn't write yesterday, spent too much time online and have to make up for it today (greeeaaat).
was nice to my husband- made choc chip cookies for us to snarf down before good friday with giant glasses of milk.

i realized that i really need to work on my anger/control issues. i'm really turning into a cranky beotch and i can't stand it! augh!!

happy purim! (kate, do you say "happy" for purim?) happy easter on sunday! and happy spring! even though it's pretty chilly here!

Did not do well yesterday.

1. Yoga - Well, I didn't exactly so yoga, but I did take 5 minutes before bed to stretch and included some yoga positions/motions in it.
2. Didn't even think about the HFCSs in the things I ate. Might have had none, but I really need to check the labels and think about it.
3. I don't think I even ate any fruits or veggies yesterday.

Will do better today and this weekend.

Back on the wagon here.
Generally have been doing good with # 1 (patience with myself and my kids) but this past week the snacking (#2) got out of hand again. The last two days I have done much better with that and my portions (#3) during meals have been larger than ideal but smaller than usual.

I am not sure why my brain says don't eat so much but my body shovels it in. I am an emotional eater I know but even bribing myself with new clothes (in addition to feeling/looking better) is not helping me with these goals every day. Still, it is helpful to just be aware of how and why I am eating throughtout the day.

[Mommy-O]

Did BWO after a day off and now I get why you take the day off, so that you can appreciate it more on the day on - whew!

Got to bed at a decent hour last night so I feel well rested today.

Hubby and I had snuggling time on the couch while watching Lost and Lipstick Jungle last night. It felt so nice and felt like someone lifted all my worries away. This not having any birth control so can't have sex thing seems to be working well in helping us to reconnect intimately without sex being the ultimate goal - who knew?

Fine on food stuff, still slogging through midterms.

I honestly can't remember any patience with my toddler yesterday, and my heart still hurts to think what a jerk I was to him. He's only napping every 2-3 days now and on the no-nap days (like yesterday) everything causes a tantrum. I don't remember what he did (bit me? hit the dog AGAIN?) but I do remember picking him up and holding his face an inch from mine and growling through clenched teeth, "KNOCK IT OFF." His whole face wobbled and he started to cry.

Today was a perfect day with him, but I still feel like a jerk.

[Moxie]

Carmie, my mom *still* feels guilty about the time she called me a "pill" when I was a baby.

If your son's anything like me, he won't remember, and if you're anything like my mom, you'll be harassing him with apologies for 35 years...;-)

Un salut très bonne à tous les lecteurs. Je pense que tout le monde devrait d'accord avec moi en pensant que l'anatomie est le fondement de tout apprentissage, si la science médicale ou un moteur ou un autre dispositif, d'abord à apprendre d'une succursale doit être connue structure physique ou anatomique. De cela, il doit commencer, puis plonger dans le sujet, ici est l'importance de l'anatomie.

Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or

something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but

other than that, this is great blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.
