Today is Tune-up Tuesday. So, I will share some goals I have been or will be working on this week.
Exercise!!! I have gained a couple pounds in the past couple of weeks. My diagnosis: no exercise. After taking care of an almost ten month old baby, I'm exhausted! But seriously, I have no GOOD excuse. Don't you have to expend energy to get more energy or something like that? Well, I started a little exercise at a cabin last week. I was fortunate enough to get a little solitude there (we were with family, which means LOTS of people) while the others went off-roading and I put Lydia to sleep. While she slept and I was alone, I did some yoga. Oh, it was wonderful! I felt so relaxed afterward. The next day killed, but immediately after was heaven. So, my goal for this week is to do yoga at least twice. I am also working on doing small strengthening exercises every day. So far, I've done crunches every day, worked on my glutes, legs, and arms, adding a little bit each day. So far, my goal is going great! Let's hope I keep this up! I lost all my pregnancy weight several months ago, but I can't seem to shake the flabbiness. Hmm, maybe because I haven't been extremely active?
Organize!!! I always need to organize. My problem is I don't know where to put things. Also, we have way too much junk. Honestly, we really need a scanner so that I can recycle a lot of papers we have lying around. Our old scanner died. Yeah, we get used stuff/hand-me-downs, and it doesn't last very long. But this week's organizational project is our attic. The playroom is great, but the other room is a disaster. It seriously looks like a tornado came through. That room's purpose is a craft room, library, and storage. So far, I've rearranged a couple things to give better places for certain items. It looks a lot better, but it still needs much more work.
Wake up at 7 am two times this week: If I don't wake up early enough to take a shower before Lydia wakes up, I don't get a shower until her first nap, which is around 10:00. Then, the curtains don't get opened because I'm hideous. I waste nap time by taking a shower instead of accomplishing tasks around the house. Etc, etc, etc. I just need to buck up and get over sleeping-in. Sleep is overrated anyway, right? Ha ha! But really, 7:00 should be reasonable, so I just need to do it, but I'm starting with twice this week, to work up to every day.
Main Goal: take things little by little: So, I've had a lot to get done. Before Lydia came along, I could do tons of things in one day. Well, our tiny dancer makes accomplishing things difficult, so I think my new rule is to do things one at a time. I get overwhelmed with how much there is to do. Accomplishing things during nap time is very difficult. I never know how long she will actually nap. It's on average 1 hour, twice a day, but she has a habit of waking up right as I get into the groove of something.
Well, there you go. I'll give you the update next week. What are your goals for this week?
