I am a broad strokes kind of gal. This is just how I roll. It is how I have four kids, work full time, go to school and not loose my sanity. I generally don't sweat the small stuff until it becomes the big stuff. I feel like I can accomplish a lot but at the same time (o.k. all the time) I feel like I am letting all my metaphorical balls drop. So one of my new years resolutions is to be more diligent in my actions.
The challenge for this week is to do focus on the details. I propose that you do 5 things that seem small but will have a big impact on how you feel! And of course since this is a health competition...
- Do 20 jumping jacks every time you use the restroom (and if you are drinking your water that will add up!)
- Drink 8 oz of water before each meal.
- And no licks, tastes or bites while making or cleaning up from dinner. I am the notorious mom who eats the last chicken nugget.
I love this challenge a lot. I'm really detail oriented at work but when it comes to taking care of myself I tend to let myself slack off. Here are the five details that I am going to take challenge myself with this week...and hopefully after, too.
ReplyDelete1. No licks, tastes, or bites as I am prepping meals. I am SO bad about this!
2. 28 push-ups before I get in bed at night and when I wake up in the morning. 28 is my age so that's how I got that random number.
3. No snacking or eating after 8 pm except on Wednesdays.
4. Drink 8 oz of water first thing in the morning. Yes, even before my sacred cup of morning coffee.
5. After each workout set out the next time's work out outfit and have it ready to go.
