Goals

I wanted to post some weekly goals here. I wrote them in my planner as well so hopefully seeing them in a couple different places will help me stay on track. These are goals for the month of February - which is quickly approaching.

1. Exercise 4x per week
2. Read 3 books
3. Enroll my oldest son in an extra curricular activity
4. Finish the rest of the FlyLady Babysteps (I’m on day 18 and there are 31 total)

There. It is written - so shall it be done! (Insert eye roll here).

Week of workouts

I started keeping track of my workouts on wed of last week. I was short on time a lot of the days last week so I did a couple really short workouts. I’ll try to be better at keeping track of my workouts next week.

Also- I need to detox off sugar.....yikes! So hard to kick that habit.

Saturday: off

Sunday: I just had a couple minutes for a workout. This one was fun and got my blood pumping:

Quote of the Year

I’ve been following the Fly Lady Method of cleaning since October. I’ll do a full review of it at a later time but I wanted to touch on a quote that has really hit home with me: Progress Not Perfrction. 

I didn’t realize how much of a perfectionist I am. I’m not the kind of profectionist that will stay up cleaning the house until the wee hours of the night so everything will be “perfect”. I am the kind of perfectionist who won’t even start something because it won’t be “perfect”. Perfectionism traps me. It keeps me from moving forward. I want to paint in our new house - but it will take me MONTHS to decide on a paint color because it won’t be perfect. I want to decorate our house pretty but I won’t because it won’t be perfect. I didn’t want to  start a blog because mine won’t be perfect like a lot of other bloggers etc etc etc. 

The fly lady preaches progress not Prefection.  Things don’t need to be perfect. Things won’t be perfect. 

Doing a little something every day is better than doing nothing. Working out for 15 mins a day is better than nothing. Folding one pile of laundry is better than folding no laundry. Picking a paint color for the walls is better than having no paint at all on plain textured walls (seriously - there’s not even flat paint on the walls  In the bathroom and kitchen) 

My diet doesn’t have to be perfect all the time. If I can’t exercise for a hour a day - then I should at least do 15 mins. 

Progress. Not perfection.
