take better care of myself

I’m so much more in the habit of doing basic self-maintainance now.

Walking, stretching, water, skin care, sunscreen…. they’re all part of routines.

There’s a whole other level of taking care of myself I still need to address – mentally, emotionally….. but I think I need to take care of that on another goal where I can try to figure out more clearly what I need.

It’s been grim for a while here – but I’m approaching this goal again with renewed vigor.

• talk a walk
• put on basic makeup
• take my vitamin
• do sit-ups
• floss
• sunscreen if not actually raining
• stretch
• 3 minutes of rest in the afternoon with the chum

This has not been going so well.

• take a walk
• do basic makeup

• do sit-ups
• floss teeth
• stretch
• 3 minutes of afternoon resting with R
• put on sunscreen

Blah! I wanted to add some one a week and one a month goals but these dailies are doing so badly, I feel maybe I shouldn’t add anything.

At least I haven’t back slid on my retired goals- all of them are still up and running.

• shower before Rowan’s first nap
• do skin care morning and night
• eat a healthier lunch

Yay! So here’s a new adjusted list of things I’d like to be doing daily:

• floss teeth
• take a walk
• do basic makeup
• do sit-ups
• stretch
• 3 minutes of afternoon resting with R
• put on sunscreen

There was something else, but I forgot it.

Reviewing my basic daily goals:

• shower before Rowan’s first nap
• do skin care morning and night
• eat a healthier lunch

• brush and floss teeth
• take a walk
• do basic makeup – tinted sunscreen and eyeshadow at least!

• do sit-ups
• stretch

I’ll retire the top 3 if they’re still daily next week. Then maybe I can add a few new things. Yay for progress!

Some of these things are now routine, so I’m cutting them from the list and marking them done.

Farewell to:
drink 8 glasses of water
take my vitamin

Yay!

Reviewing my basic daily goals:

• shower before Rowan’s first nap
  do skin care morning and night
  drink 8 glasses of water

• brush and floss teeth
  take a walk
  eat a healthier lunch
  take my vitamin

• do sit-ups
  do basic makeup – tinted sunscreen and eyeshadow at least!
  stretch

Plus there are several more things it would be nice to add but…......
This week’s focus – sit-ups followed by stretching. When? At night while watching TV with the man.

Looking over last week’s swell ideas:

brush and floss teeth -doing great on brushing – flossing about half the time. My hygenist would not be pleased

do sit-ups – most days – doing the whole 2 sets of 5 different types. I’m feeling a ifference in the muscles under the stretched outness

shower before Rowan’s first nap – done it every day!!!!!

take a walk – I need to find a way to make this more routine

eat a healthier lunch – I’m not sure what criteria I should set for this, More thought needed.

do skin care morning and night – am getting to most of it most days

do basic makeup – tinted sunscreen and eyeshadow at least! HA! not happening

stretch – nope nope nope

drink 8 glasses of water – you know, on observing this, i am doing this already

take my vitamin – not happening!

Well, some progress.

I think this covers a lot of my smaller goals – here’s what it means to me right now:

brush and floss teeth
do sit-ups
shower before Rowan’s first nap
take a walk
eat a healthier lunch
do skin care morning and night
do basic makeup – tinted sunscreen and eyeshadow at least!
stretch
drink 8 glasses of water
take my vitamin

Gosh! That’s a lot!
