Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose. - Lyndon B. Johnson

Today is not only the start of a new 5% Challenge, it is the start of a new month.  I love the feel of a new start.  It's like we are given a whole new clean sheet of paper to fill with anything.  What was written or drawn on the last paper doesn't matter.  Of course when I return to real life I know that yes some things that I did in the past do matter and do affect me today.  But today is another chance to change things.

Last night while watching the Oilers/Flames pre-season game I was starting to think about my goals for this month.  I have gotten very good at tracking things this last month, not so much at blogging/journaling.  Why I stop journaling I don't really know.  It helps me so much and I do so much better working on my goals when I journal.  

I have decided to give myself a 30 day challenge.  here are the things I am challenging myself to do this month.

Step Goal for the month -  279,000 steps

Floors for the month - 217 floors

Zone Minutes - 2,480 minutes

Follow the Walk at home 30 Day Beginner Calendar

Drink 64oz of water

Daily Plan

Daily Assessment

Journal Daily


This morning I am thankful for

  1. A day off with lots of things planned
  2. my 2 kittens(cats) that provide me with lots of entertainment
  3. the cooler temperatures at night

5% Challenge Update

Today is Day 1 of week 1 of the challenge.  My weight loss goal for the next 8 is 9.1lbs.

My Goals Update.

My annual Weight goal is to lose 52 pounds by July 1, 2023. -  I am down a nice 8lbs so far, a little behind on my goal but not far enough that i am going to change or reassess the goal.

My Fitness goal is to get my step count to 10,000 steps a day by November 1, 2022 - I am consistently getting 8000 steps a day now and plan to work on getting it to 9000 steps a day by the end of October.  I think I am on track at this point to make my goal.

NO BS - Update

Today is the start of a new month.  I have filled out my goal for the month, weight and measurements, completed my daily plan and am ready to go.

Goal for the week

59,500 steps, 42 floors and 560 zone minutes. All readings courtesy of my Versa:

Welcome to 2023

 Time: 6:58AM Weather: -9C Sunrise @ 8:50AM Sunset @ 4:25PM New Year's Day. A fresh start. A new chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved. Answers to be discovered and then lived in this transformative year of delight and self-discovery. Today carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change. -  Sarah Ban Breathnach I love waking up on New Year's day, it is a fresh start.  I am always so full of hope and excitement for the year to come.  This year I have decided that I really need to work on my goals and get them down so that I can work on them.  When I first started working on them I didn't think I would have an actual weight loss goal.  This morning I decide that yes I will have a weight loss goal.   I need to be accountable to myself this year.  My word of the year for 2023 is ACCOUNTABILITY.   I need to be accountable to myself f...

 Time: 5:50Am Temp: -34C Sunrise @ 8:48AM Sunset @ 4:17PM Goals for today  8000 steps 30 zone minutes 81oz of good fluids Why do we always think that every is simple or should be simple.  There are so many things that are simply complicated, confusing and hard.  I mean I often think back to the way I was brought up, so many things that I was taught were wrong I now accept as just part of life.  I find that most of the time I live a grey zone... Yesterday was a cold day.  I spent way too much time behind the wheel driving on ice.  At lest there was no wind to make it really bad.  My new reps are pretty well trained.   Well go back out with them in the new year and touch base. This morning I am thankful for: Christmas music - I love to listen to it all the time Melissa went to school yesterday That my furnace works
