3in30 Challenge-Nov Week 3

Well the week didn't start out great.  My daughter had strep throat and I think she gave it to me.  I was sick over the weekend and the beginning of the week.  So here is how I did.

1)Going to bed at 9pm, waking up at 5:30- I mostly slept in because I was sick.  I did wake up early Wed-Friday.

2)Losing 4 pounds- Well I weighted in on Monday (I started weight watchers) and I lost 3lbs!  Well my husband reminded me that it was probably because I was sick.  I did make it to the gym Wed-Friday so that should help alot.  I didn't do good with watching what I eat.  I think this part will take some time because I have a serious love affair with all foods that are unhealthy (chocolate chip cookies, ice cream, alfredo..I can go on an on).

3)Organizing my closet- I have not done a thing.  Have you ever had a goal that completely scared you?  This goal does that to me..puts complete fear in my heart.  Why? Because it is so unorganized I have no clue where to start.  Well, I still have a week and a half so there is still hope.

I am still completely unorganized.  My house is still a mess.  Flylady has helped me alot.  Most of the time when I go to bed the dishes are clean and the kitchen looks half way decent.  This is a big step for me.  But I have been so unorganized for so long that I have a loooong way to go.  Most of my days are filled with frustration because I can't find stuff because everything is everywhere.  I recently misplaced the key to my mom's storage locker.  In the process of searching for it (which I never found) I just got completely overwhelmed because I realized how much clutter and chaos is in my house.  Whenever I feel like giving up I tell myself just to focus on the things I have accomplished.  One great accomplishment since starting Flylady is my bathroom sink is less cluttered.    

How did your week go? I hope everyone made great steps towards reaching their goal.

3in30 Challenge November Goals: Week 1

Hello World..It's time to give an update for the first week of November. 

1)Go to bed at 9 pm, wake up at 5:30 am- I did pretty good with the going to bed part..getting up on Monday and Tuesday didn't happen.  I did get up the other days of the week. I also won't make it to bed on time tonight, it is 9:22 and I am just doing my update.   I want this to be a natural part of my routine.  I think it will take a while, hopefully by the end of the year.

2)Lose 4 pounds- This did not start out so well.  I just had the hardest time getting myself motivated until I read Meredith's blog.  She has lost twenty something pounds.  I thought that was so awesome and it really helped me get my mojo back.  So I made it to the gym three times.  This week I need to focus on my eating habits. 

3)Organize my closet- I thought long and hard about my third goal and then it dawned on me that my closet is a COMPLETE mess. It is almost impossible to find anything in there so this will be the third goal.  I haven't started yet but I plan on doing 15mins. a day for the rest of the month.

I have lots of things I wanted to talk about but I am completely beat.  I have been working ALL day.  I swear everytime I thought I was done, there was something else to do.  So now I am just going to take a break.  I hope I can find sometime to blog during the week.  I hope everyone has a successful second week. Good luck!
