To Do

So, I didn't get everything done last week that I set out do do with my list, but I got enough of it going that I'm not going to beat myself up about it. I think not beating yourself up is a huge key to success. Yes, we all need to be self-aware and critical in order to do the best we can and to keep on improving (at whatever it is you're working on ) but there's a fine line between critiquing yourself for improvement, and beating up on yourself.
This is a big thing for me, both in writing and in health endeavors. I admit my main priority right now is health, even though I'm beyond behind in my writing commitments. The problem is that my health starts it's downward path when I began writing. Then when I quit work to write full time, it gained speed on that downward run. Since I decided to let my health take precedence I've tried so many things, but nothing has really worked. This is because I know its base is in emotions. Easy to know, not so easy to deal with. However, I'm 41 years old, and I weigh 300 pounds. I shake my head and wonder how I got here, and at the same time I know exactly how I got here. Just like I know exactly how to fix it.
Knowing is NOT as easy as doing.
I've debated a lot about if I should share this struggle on my blog or not. It is very personal, but at the same time, it's main focus so if I don't talk about it, then my blog will start to lag again, and keeping up with it is one of my goals. So, I'm sharing….some. And I hope you'll share with me as well.
I tried joining Weight Watchers, online. Not so much for food and recipes and such, but for community. I know what I need to do. We all do . There is no magic pill that 's going to make up fit and healthy. It takes work. Eat better, be more active, and your body will react positively. But it's not easy, and if you can share, if you can give and receive support and feel less alone, then it becomes easier.
I found the message boards very superficial. Lots of people posting goals and results, and cheering each there on, but no one really talking. So, I'm hoping to start something here. If you're interested in becoming part of acommunity of readers/wrters who are facing health issues of any sort, just say Hi in the comments. If there's some interest I'll start a room/thread on my poor unused messageboard for us.
Otherwise I'll just continue to blab on her by myself every now and then. :)
I managed to o everything on Last weeks TO DO list except the writing goals. SO this week I'm goignot work on making the other stuff HABIT, and get that writing done.
SO..
***eat breakfast every day (I've been having smoothies made from scratch…very good)
***exercise 3 times this week
***Finish short story.
and hopefully, start new proposal.
What about you? Goals for the week? Interested in joining the messageboards and sharing health goals, ups & downs, recipes?
