mini 5 day challenge

Posted on Oct 7, 2008 in Blog | 11 comments

You know you want to do it everyday.  It wouldn’t take that much effort on your part.  But you just can’t seem to get it accomplished.  What is it? What do you want to be doing everyday? Maybe its:

- making the bed every morning
- calling any friend or family member just to say hello
- not going back for a second helping of food
- saying a nightly prayer
- not eating fast food
- morning workout, even it is just 10 minutes
- eat a piece of fruit
- saying I love you
- organize your email in-box
- respond to your emails
- drinking your coffee with no sugar
- write in your journal
- turn off the tv 2 hours early
- it could be ANYTHING

Lets do a mini 5 day challenge. Commit to doing something daily for 5 days… something that you believe your body, mind and/or heart would benefit from. Doesn’t that sound lovely?

~ Decide what you want to do in the 5 day period. (it can be absolutely anything)
~ Prepare to start this Friday October 10
~ Leave your commitment in a comment below, share as much or as little info you like
~ Beginning Friday, there will be a daily post for 5 days so we can all report back on our progress.

Lets do this!

I don’t know what the sticker below means..  I just liked the way it looked on the pole.  Let me know if you know what I don’t know about that sticker!  LOL

    Out of like 500 things I challenge myself to do my back exercises and stretches daily. One doctor told me, Angel you must do these stretches everyday, make it a habit just like brushing your teeth. Another doctor told me, Angel don't lift anything heavier than a coffee cup.

    I have not done the specific exercises and stretches given to me in over a year. And I move like a million pounds of freight in the last year. Humm wonder why my back is crunchy and hurts more and more these days.

    So I pick to commit to my back stretches and exercises!!

    I am only going to drink one coke or juice a day(everything else will be either water or tea with sugar in the raw sweetener) and I am going to do 30 minutes of Yoga each morning. I will not press snooze to get a couple extra minutes of sleep because this will benefit me much more than a little extra wonderful sleep. I am also going to take 10 minutes when I get home and sit in silence and focus on finding my happy place before having to do homework, chores, work and cooking dinner.(everyone needs some me time)

    Starting physical therapy next Monday for neck and back problems. In addition to those exercises, I WILL use my ab lounge and exercise my core. I have a fabulous halloween costume that I want to wear, but it reveals my midriff, so I've GOT to get in shape before the end of the month. Whew! Work it girls . . . work it! (I really need to give up the beer, but . . . I really LIKE my beer!)
