So I haven’t done much since I said I didn’t want to put the change off anymore. But I did come up with 30 days challenges. So I started and did really well. I mean I was rolling along. This time I was going to do it!
Then day 3 came along. And I thought “I can exercise later”. “One donut is ok.” And I was going to go help my daughter move her stuff and she was going to buy donuts also. So if I was going to have sugar on Sunday, it was ok to have it on Wednesday and Thursday.
I could have not bothered to write about that experience. Or just started and waited until I finished and then write how wonderfully disciplined I am and finished a 30 day challenge. But the truth is. I’m not wonderfully disciplined. I’m not even mediocrely disciplined. I wanted to share that side of the journey also. Anyone can come on here after they completed the challenge and say they did it. And we wouldn’t even know how hard it was for them to keep at. When I see things like that, I get frustrated. Because why can’t I just do it?! I feel like I am the only one that can’t do something for 30 days. That’s one month out of 12!
Oy, yoy, yoy. This is going to be hard. But I really do want to make these changes. So I will restart the challenges tomorrow. The areas I will keep track of are morning routine, evening routine, strength exercises, biking and no sugar. It’s on here, so I have to do it now.
Probably not a great idea to challenge all these areas at one time. But if I am going to make changes in 6 months, it will take major changes now. So here I go … again.
