I WILL
Exercise 3 to 5 days a week - Often unspoken perk of sharing health related news with peers...acquaintances and people just met in the grocery store line.....have gleaned excellent advise on exercise of late. Begun walking not by distance but by time. Fantastic notion as no longer think of walking for exercise as a destination (track needed to know distance, and, therefore, track clothes necessary.) Have found walking perimeter of parking lots while waiting for children's release from their miscellaneous classes to be most useful re-purposing of time. (Just wish epiphany had occurred prior to 90 degree weather.)
All aforementioned walking was precipitated by unfortunate slipping on of last year's black exercise pants that led to moment in mirror that looked horrifyingly like a a costume of Olivia Newton John's final scene in Grease gone all wrong. Also, was particularly unpleasant moment of looking at body sharpers in public store.
Take my vitamins - Am reading Bob Greene's 20 Years Younger book and am using corresponding notebook for keeping track of exercise, vitamins, etc. As surely notebook was not published simply for my own use (as considerably cost for such an endeavor no matter how attentive to my needs) found comfort in knowing others need actual checklist in hand to remember to wash face, exercise, take vitamins, etc.
Also, not trying to look and feel 20 years younger. Will take 4 years ago.
Read - Have been reading like mad. And Netflixing like mad. Oddly enough, both keep self from going mad. Finishing up Mr. Darcy's Secret after a second read. Have watched: Young Victoria, Wives and Daughters (both excellent) and Mrs. Brown (interesting but not as good as I hoped).
Give up soda! - Soda only consumed on Mondays at Chick-fil-A as part of weekly kids meal purchased there. Have excitedly told many about new beverage of choice: Organic Mint and Honey Sweet Leaf Green Tea. Now can not find tea in any local grocery stores. Clear indication of my personal promotion of product to all local friends. And possibly addictive qualities of lovely beverage.
Not wear shoes in the house: Utter fail...but as house if full of dust already from renovations to basement, does not matter much.
Write thank you notes - Yes!
Finish the plethora of projects half done and/or started in my head - Excessively important items taken care of, such as rearranging dishes within cupboards.
De-clutter the house room by room - Renovations on basement (7 days of jackhammering, banging under foot) followed by roof replacement (5 more days of hammering just overhead) have left me teetering on edge of standing mid gocery store isle, dressed in 30 year old tuxedo and muttering about hotdog buns as if Steve Martin in Father of the Bride....figuratively, of course, as do not actually own 30 year old tuxedo. However, ability to relate to person completely falling apart over stress of postive things happening uncanny.
Meal plan - Hmmm?
Start scrapbook project: 53 Saturdays
Plan out each day with some sort of strategy - Yes.
Pray / Bible study daily - Yes.
Not be a victim to technology - Considering just purging inbox of all items. Seem to stay at 400 items. Can not possibly be all relevant...or even meant for me.
Keep up with this list every Sunday in format of Bridget Jone's Dairy: Did I say EVERY Sunday?
