pregnancy has made this goal a definate postponement. I’m not taking it off my list though, b/c I know it will definatly be a goal after the baby gets her. BTW- it’s a girl!!!

I re-organized my "control journal"... 2 years ago

... though that’s not what I call it. I got pretty dividers and have sections for my menus, shopping lists, etc.
I finalized a good weekly routine and have it on the refrigerator, and completed my items for today.

I had gotten bad about keeping my calendar and maintaining the house during my 1st trimester. Now that I’m feeling better, I’m glad to get back on schedule!

giving up is not accurate... 2 years ago

... my husband and I were blessed with pregnancy. We are due May 1st. So, this goal is postponed. :)



Become a vegetarian
still truckin' 2 years ago

I’ve been at this for a month and a half now. I don’t miss meat- I just need to get better at meal planning (especially lunches) so I don’t eat as many starches or limit myself to subway salads or cheese pizzas (the latter being so yummy but not exactly healthy.

working on 3 right now.. 2 years ago

... one has a lot of statistics in it, which makes it slow going for me. One is in the hands of a colleague, so I can’t work on it currently. The last is still a figment of my imagination just purring around my brain- it’ll come out, it actually has a little in pieces on my desktop…

not going to make it... 2 years ago

... because of many reasons, but most of all priorities. Taking 4 doctoral classes at a university that’s an hour and a 1/2 drive makes for difficult eating (especially since I’ve given up meat as of mid- june. I do not want to replace meat with starches like pastas and bread, so this made it all the more difficult. I’m sick of Taco Bell burritos. Now that the summer term is over and I can unpack the suitcase I’ve lived out of, I can be more schedule oriented. One day…

2 more classes! 2 years ago

I’m so close- the light at the end of said tunnel is visable. I should be done with coursework by December. If I take comps at the end of January, I’ll be ABD (all but dissertation).

This goal... 2 years ago

... is very rewarding. :-) I’ll most likely continue to keep post-its in my bag.

visited the YMCA today... 2 years ago

Not to actually work out, but to see if I liked the facility. My hubbie goes there everyday… I know I need to do something in addition to watching my eating habits. I plan to join this upcoming week.

called dss today... 2 years ago

b/c the pictures on their slideshow just kill me! Those are sweet children in need of a home. I hear that adoption costs are quite minimal that route, so I called today to get some answers. I left a message and noone has called back yet.

these routines are extremely difficult 2 years ago

with my schedule. I think they work better for people who have the opportunity to actually not get dressed to their shoes… Having said that, there are some very good qualities about having and keeping routines. I swished and swooped this morning and love the feeling I get from seeing a sparkling toilet. :)

talk about a backslide... 2 years ago

... but I’m back on track. I was up at 5 to do 30 minutes of lower body yoga. I feel good, and aim to keep this up. I also stopped writing down what I eat, and my line graph depressed me when it went the wrong direction. I aim to turn this trend around. I’ll post progress…

after going without... 2 years ago

... red meat since before Thanksgiving, I think I can now check this one off. I don’t miss it, and yes, I do feel better. :-)

I'm sorry to have dropped off the edge of the planet... 2 years ago

But my schedule is so very hectic. I’ve got a retched cold, so I’m taking a holiday from work… This goal has been wonderful- really keeping me on my toes (so to speak). Meeting it meant sometimes doing yoga with only the DVD in my head- sometimes that was even better than following someone else! I appreciate all the emails/posts from the group~ you kept me motivated. Best wishes to all the yogis out there.

Subscribing to the Flylady e-reminders has been helpful. 2 years ago

I especially like the weekly emails that tell you a place to focus on. The one I plan to tackle today is the linen closet. We have towels in their that my hubbie had 100 years before me! That’s a little hyperbole, but I’ve added towels to my grocery (Wal-Mart) list so that I can gradually build us a nice collection. I highly recommend subscribing to their email list. You can do so here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FlyLadyMentors
