Time???

I sometimes feel like I just don't have enough time to get anything done. My morning started at 730, and I feel like I've been on the go ever since. Laundry upon laundry has been done, and it's still going. Dishes have been done, yet still need to find a home. Next up is yard work. Not only is our pool still half full and needs to be emptied, cleaned and packed away for the winter, the leaves are almost completely off of our humongous tree out back. So that adds to raking. And a lawn that needs one last mow of the season.
And that's just the start of it.

Now I know it sounds like I'm complaining, and you're probably wondering how if I'm so busy I still manage to Blog... I needed to. I needed it to be said. I don't mean to complain, but sometimes it helps.

On the rare days that I schedule my day, or my week, I find things go that much smoother. But that's the kicker ... I gotta fit in time, or even just make an effort, to make up this schedule.

Imagine the time I would find (and the words I could write) if I just managed to organize myself a little better.

Guess it's on my list of things to do...

In a Funk?

I've made a lot of personal changes this year. The biggest of which was to get healthy. I know that New Years comes, and a very common resolution is to "lose weight". I didn't make that resolution this year. Why set myself up for failure? Instead, January brought on a competition organized by a friend to lose weight. It was friendly, yet competitive. We put in money to join, and at the end (we did it until the beginning of June) the person who lost the highest percentage of weight won 80% of the money, and second place took home the remaining 20%. I can happily say that I took home second place.

The last few months, however, have been at a stand still. Kind of in a slump. Still working out, but not to the extreme, and my eating, well, that's another story.

The gym I go to, which is one of the best places I've ever been, has a lot of people in this same funk. Feeling as though they are at a plateau, their eating has been terrible, they may even be gaining weight. Not what we want to be doing. The owner recently put out a Funk Challenge. If we were interested we got to put together a team of 5 members from the gym, and compete. It's not much. We have to work out and journal what we eat. Now the competition. The trainers are on teams of 3. If a team of members outworks (clocks more workouts hours, kms walked or biked), we get to train the trainers...something to look forward to. Definitely a good push.

It's been on for a week, and I find that I'm back in the groove of working out, and trying to eat a little better. It's amazing what you can do, if you just have that motivation, and push yourself a little harder.

Today is YOUR day. You CAN do this
