day 107 & 108–the weekend!!

107 & 108

Happy weekend! I’m so excited to have a few days off. I’ve been at the computer so much the last few days my eyeballs are going to fall out.

This weekend:

keep up with the daily 7. the weekend is so hard to get stuff done, I know. Every little bit counts, though. It doesn’t have to be perfect,  just do the best you can.

cross some punch list stuff off

anything need to happen in the yard? divvy up the work if possible.

enter a crockpot contest!

yesterday: friday fun day

day 106

106

I am writing this at 7:14 on Thursday night, and Project Runway is paused (we have Dish, so we get things when they are shown on the east coast) and I did a whole bunch of work today so I’m going to sit on the couch and watch it.

Because I deserve it.

I may even have some wine!

Today (friday!):

write down the 5 absolute best things that happened this week

Today:

speed dust, vacuum, and mop

daily 7

exercise

shower

take a nap

103–run errands, prepare for summer

103

Good morning to you! It’s time to gear up for summer. For some reason you can’t buy shorts or a swim suit in the middle of summer, you have to now. Everything’s on sale—I like to order online, but if you prefer to go into stores, you should be able to find a good selection.

It looks like the kids are going to pretty much live in Lands End clothing over the summer. I just received a big order the other day.

I love shopping in my jammies.

Today:

efficient erranding (remember the sunscreen!)

finish PROMing everyone’s clothing from winter

daily 7

schedule 3 more punch list items for the next few weekends

exercise. 27 days until Mother’s Day

yesterday: monday recovery day

Those who can, do. Those who can’t, complain. –my grandma Bunny

day 102–28 days until Mother’s Day

102

dude. ONE HUNDRED and TWO? how did that happen?

I launched a 30 days of working out challenge for myself over the weekend, which isn’t really fair, because no one really hangs out on the computer on Saturday and Sunday. But I did it anyway. Don’t worry about catching up or keeping up—you’ve got to make your own goals to fit your own schedule.

I did run a mile on each day over the weekend, and I’m going to run at least a mile every day for the next 28, because I’ve got 10 pounds of baby weight that still needs to come off, and I’m the type of person who needs a deadline.

and thankfully I’ve already eaten all of the girl scout cookies in the house so there’s nothing left to tempt me.

Today:

weekend recovery/spring break recovery

run a mile/exercise/find a way to move

get clothing out for spring/summer, and PROM accordingly

over the weekend–exercise challenge

The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you’re willing to work. —Oprah Winfrey

days 100 + 101: the weekend

100 & 101

Happy 100th day of the year! Check over your list of things you were itching to do this year. How have you done so far? What do you need to tweak?

We have exactly one month until Mother’s Day—and for me, that means, one month until a family vacation to Disneyland. A family vacation which means sundresses and tanktops, and maybe even a swimsuit.

gulp.

I need to work out more, and I need to do it now. I have been using the finishing up of this book as an excuse to live off of coffee and boxes of girl scout cookies, and it’s not doing me any favors.

Who’s in for a 30-day exercise challenge? Run everyday, do the 30-Day shred, just something. ANYTHING. Somethings gotta be better than nothing, right?

This weekend:

exercise. for reals.

write down everything you’ve done in the last 100 days. Even if it’s silly things like brushing your teeth consistently for 100 days in a row.

Feel proud of yourself.

cross something off of your punch list

daily 7

yesterday: friday’s post

day 99–TGIF

99

It’s the 99th day of the year, and it’s F.R.I.D.A.Y.

yay!

Plan some fun for yourself, and for your family. You’ve been working too hard, and you need a vacation.

and if you’ve been slacking off, no worries. Kick it up a notch for a few hours and get a bunch of stuff done.

And then take a break.

You deserve it.

Today:

chill

catch up on stuff

yesterday: Thursday, schedule punch list stuff for the weekend

Any idiot can face a crisis – it’s day to day living that wears you out.
