Smart Habit Saturday

To wrap up May, I would have to say that I did…average. I usually got about 3 days a week in which wasn’t quite my goal, but it was more than the 0 or 1 day a week I had been doing so I guess that’s an improvement. I didn’t do as well [...]

Smart Habit Saturday

By the time most of you read this, I will be on a plane to Los Angeles (I LOVE AUTO POSTING!) to start the much needed vacation, I am going to make some specific goals for this week so that I don’t totally derail my weight loss/exercise efforts! Last Saturday at my Weight Watchers [...]

Smart Habit Saturday

While I didn’t work out on 5 days, I did work out on average of 3 days at 30 minutes…which I consider a success! I didn’t work out at all the week before that so 3 days is definitely more than no days.
I’m going to have to get creative with my time to get [...]

Smart Habit Saturday

Always live up to your standards – by lowering them, if necessary. ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic’s Notebook, 1966
Apparently I took the whole “1 habit a month” theory and translated it into “1 post a month”.
Wowser. Anyway. About my April habit…let’s just say that my floors aren’t clean. And I still spend [...]

Smart Habit Saturday

Hi. My name is Thea and I have no self-discipline. (Hiiiii, Thea.)
Really, this is the root of my problem. I try to make habits and then I don’t follow through with them. And then I try again, and I don’t follow through again. But nothing really ever happens, you know? [...]

Smart Habit Saturday

The show is finally over, and this is my first full week of being back to a “normal” schedule.
And I did great! I finished almost everything on my cleaning schedule. The only things I didn’t get done were non-essential cleaning stuff, like sweeping the front porch or wiping out the door shelves in [...]

Smart Habit Saturday

As I sit here watching the snow continue to fall, I realize the dishes and piles of stuff are starting to resemble mini snow drifts.
This week has been really bad for my habits, and I can come up with a million excuses as to why, but it simply comes down to: I didn’t do it.
My [...]

Smart Habit Saturday

To say I’ve been doing horribly at my habit is an understatement. I love me some internet, people…and blogging even more.
I reached a problem in my resolve to only blog before 7am and after 7pm: I was now blogging when I should have been spending time with my husband. There are nights [...]

Smart Habit Saturday

This was my first full week of not blogging between the hours of 7am and 7pm…and I did pretty well. Wednesdays are hard for me and I did find myself falling into the old trap of sitting on my backside all day in front of the computer (Wordless Wednesday, Work for Me Wednesday, and [...]

Smart Habit Saturday

The great thing about Smart Habit Saturday is that it is about developing habits, not having full formed habits right out of the gate….So, I feel confident in saying that I did horribly on my TV time this week…LOL!
As I was sitting at Ash Wednesday service on…well…Wednesday, I was reading through something in the bulletin [...]
