Two of the OG blogging queens have died in the past year, Julie Powell and
Heather Armstrong aka Dooce, which has left me a bit shook. I didn’t

Dear Noelle
ReplyDeleteOf course you can do it. You continue to inspire me and give me the motivation to stick to my goals toooooooooooooooo. The way you inspired me Sunday continued.......... in the blog post I just mention the getting off the computer, and the "getting on with it" but apart from mentioning housework and drinking fluids I didn't go into further detail as I was busy "getting on with it", but after what I wrote I did some superb things.
On Sunday 4th I took down the most visible Xmas decs but couldn't box them up as hubby had not taken down boxes from the attic. He took them down Monday or Tuesday but I am bad at doing any housework on a weekday. Anyway, I spent Saturday vegging in my PJs and it was only Sunday, when I read your post about "achieving your goals" that I got the firm kick up the bum I needed.
So I boxed the Xmas decs Sunday evening and did so much housework, (hubby didn't see as he was away from home Sunday evening and night), that Monday night when I arrived home from work he remarked on it.
He sees the way I box up the decs EVERY year, but I did it so mindfully and so beautifully you couldn't fail to notice it was done with a superb attention to detail, so he put it all in the attic with a bounce in his step because he could see I went above and beyond.
Which meant I came back to a beautiful flat on Monday evening and made us a beautiful dinner of fresh salmon and vegetables.
So the goodness went on and on and on.
Thank you.
Let's keep making it happen.
It's always great to have a goal, and what's even better is when you can look at what it takes to accomplish it and realize what is a realistic goal. You can so totally do this!!
ReplyDeleteWell, 3 lbs might be a lot per week, but good to have a goal. They say not to lose too much too quickly for you lose muscle unless you're building muscle with weights. For example, if I weight 270, my safe to lose max to aim for per week is 2.7 loss. I learned this at livestrong.com and thedailyplate.com. Both are free sites that have helped me figure out calories and exercise proportions. I wish you the best of luck and sweat! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat goal!
ReplyDeleteDeciding on an obtainable goal, is one of the first steps to knowing that you are in control. Keep us posted! Susan
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!! That is awesome. You are motivating me to get with it...I struggle with the exercise. But I know once I get into a routine it gets easier. Keep us posted!! :)
