Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you'll start to see a big difference in your life. - Yoko Ono

Normally I am not a fan of Yoko Ono  but I do like this quote from her.  It is so true.  If we smile at ourselves daily it does change us.

We are just finishing having our first snow storm of the season.  In a little while I will need to go out and shovel the front walk and then tackle the back parking pad.  I also need to drive to Tofield today for work.  It should be an okay drive.

Today is the first day of Standard time.  For the next 18 week (126 days) we are on Mountain Standard Time.  I decided that I am going to give myself a personal challenge from today until time changes again on March 12, 2023.  I am going to blog at https://mjsflife.blogspot.com/ my journey to a healthier me.

5% Challenge Update

This week we are reading food labels.  I have started to do this for a while now.  It is simply crazy how much sugar is hidden in some things.  I remember years ago when we first started seeing the paleo diet trend and I thought what BS.  Now while I don't think paleo is the way to go, I do think that the more natural foods that you can consume the better.

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
