I'm doing 37 things
recycled countless cardboard boxes and papers, given 4 large boxes of books to my friend for his Amazon store, thrown out a large pile for free bulk trash pick up, and thrown away many large trash bags. And I still have so much stuff. But progress is being made.

How I did it
It made me
happy & supported. 
How I did it: Made it a priority by making time to spend together, talk, and mostly listen. I met many women friends through other friends. I joined a woman only book group where we talk about personal growth and relationships. Women get juiced by sharing and being with other women. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: Surfdiva.com surf school in La Jolla CA specializes in teaching women to surf. For me I had to try over and over to get the feel of it. Once I felt the waves start to lift up the back of my board and I was able to get into position quickly, the momentum of the waves did the rest. It's a feeling I'll never forget. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I attended a workshop for women to improve communication skills with men. One of the 'takeaways' I got was the appeal to a man of a woman directly and without demanding, stating what it is that she wants and what it is that would make her happy. A man wants to make his partner happy but often doesn't pick up subtle hints, cues, or other unspoken expectations. I told a man I was dating for a few weeks I wanted to explore an exclusive re… Read how I did it…

Afterwards I tasted blood from my lungs from being out of shape. After a warm up you run as fast as you can for 20 seconds, walk for 8 seconds, repeat intervals 8 times. Supposed to be much quicker and effective training for aerobic and anaerobic capacity. I’m thinking it’ll help get me in cardio shape while running without beating up my feet so badly. I did it on a school track, nice and cushy. The goal is 3 or Tabata training sessions per week, 3 strength training sessions per week, with walks and hikes thrown in there for fun. I also know to truly lose the excess weight I have to stop eating so darn much and give up sweets and wine. www.tabatatraining.org
I have removed countless bags of trash from the garage, recycled many cardboard boxes, made 6 trips to Salvation Army for donation, gave away 4 large boxes of books to my friend to sell on his Amazon store, gave away a large dog pen, and left a big pile on the lawn for free bulk trash pick up day. Whew! Feels great, AND I STILL HAVE SO MUCH LEFT! How in the world did I end up with this much stuff? Well, I’ve lived in my house for 10 and a half years and I threw away/gave away a lot of stuff left by old boyfriends (one in particular who STILL has a lot in my garage.) Some of it is my kid’s but most of it is mine. It makes me much more reflective if I’m thinking of buying or bringing anything new into my house; I think where am I going to put it. Making progress, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
