Weekly Challenge Number Three

So, here we are, three weeks into taking Baby Steps out of whatever mess we found ourselves in.

SO, how have you done the past two weeks? I have been pretty pleased with myself.

Keeping my area around the bed clear and the bed made I have been successful with for two full weeks. And last week I made it to the YMCA FIVE times when my goal was only three.

This coming week it is my intention to keep track of the carbs I eat. This is going to be a pain in the butt to do -- but I have an app on my phone that will help me to do it. It will also be scary to see how many I am eating when I am not supposed to have many at all. So, maybe another week I'll start cutting down the number, but the goal for this week is simply to

    I have done okay with my challenges. Not perfect, but I'm trying to let go of striving for perfectionism. My desk is still a dumping ground for everyone, but I'm keeping on top of it for the most part. My other challenge has gone as expected; I've failed many times but have had a few times when I've kept my mouth shut.

    This week, I'm going to focus on getting to bed at a decent hour. I often stay up until 2:00 or 3:00, savoring the silence. Two of my kids have sleep disorders, so I'm often woken up by them throughout the night. The lack of sleep is really taking a toll on my health, so my goal is to be in bed before midnight this week.

    My goal has been to work on my attitude. Try to figure out what is causing my irritability, and either change it if I can, or choose happiness if I can't. I've improved, but I'm still struggling with this.

Day 5

Today is the day to start a gratitude journal. Getting it started is your only job today. Whether or not you keep it up is up to you. So, either on your computer or in a notebook I want you to write the title on the first page. Gratitude journal. Now write the number 1. Write down one thing you are grateful for. If you can't narrow it down to one, keep writing. Then let me know how many you came up with in five minutes. I think you might be surprised.

Day 10

If you started this when I started writing it, today is Christmas Eve, but if you started late, it's OK, this post can be Christmas specific or not. I want you to come up with three special holiday or birthday memories. It can be the expression on the face of someone in your past when they got a gift you gave that was special, or a funny thing that happened when you were a child. Or it can be a meltdown that didn't ruin Christmas but instead made it memorable. Whatever it is -- three holiday memories that bring a smile. It won't be as hard as you think.

Day 3

Today you have a very simple assignment. Think of one person who has made a difference in your life. It could be someone from 40 years ago or from yesterday. The only thing is you have to know how to contact them in writing electronically (Facebook, email, etc). Now, copy and paste this into an email or Facebook message and send it to them. If you have some energy, you can add some more stuff, but if not, just copy and paste this... Hi, ________ (You do have to type their name, but that is it) I was thinking about you today and just wanted you to know that I really appreciate the impact you have had on my life. When I thought about the great times we have had together, it made me smile and I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me. Your Name Here (ok, you have to type your name too) Easy, huh? Now if you want to increase the amount of joy this brings, you should send this to 2 or 3 or 5 or 10 people.... but if all you have energy and time to do is send one, that's ...
