It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. - Confucius

I used to get so upset with myself when I didn't lose weight quickly, or didn't chance my habits quickly.  I would have these weeks of doing things great then of course things would go to crap and I would backslide (I hate that word) and get mad at myself and give up.  This was and has been the roller coaster of my life for years.  Slowly over the last while I am realizing that this has to change.  I need to make permanent changes.  I am giving up on the all or nothing attitude that I have lived with for decades.  I am now working on small changes.

This morning I am thankful for

  1. my hubby, who is my best friend
  2. my office being upstairs
  3. time

Question of the day

Who are the people in my life that make me the happiest?  Wow this one is easy.  My kids make me happy. My son and his dry humour, quick smile and willingness to help.  My oldest daughter and her love for life and concern for those around her.  My youngest and her special take on life, I am learning to see the world through her eyes and it is amazing.  My hubby make me happy, after 28 years together I can still say that he is not only my best friend, my heart still skips a beat when he reaches for my hand.

Yesterday was the last relaxing day until I go on vacation.  I did very little and I am okay with that.  Today is the start of full steam ahead.  I did manage to not eat in the evening, pat on the back for me.

October 1 2022, New Month

 Time: 7:20AM Weather: 4C Sunrise @ 7:36AM Sunset @ 7:12PM 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
