The Diet Dilemma

On February 15th I started my fitness/weigh management goal. I uploaded an app called "MyFitnessPal" and I keep track of my food and exercise. The first week I did really good, I lost almost a pound a day. The second week not so good. I've been logging on for 15 days now and have only lost 5.5 pounds.

I should've lost more, however, losing is still better than gaining and this is a reasonable healthy loss so I don't consider it a failure by any means.

I am going to blame the weather a bit because it's been cold and icy making fast paced dog walks harder or just plain not possible without risky my dog's or my safety.

All I can do is try harder from this point forward and not fret too much about what's already happened since there is absolutely nothing I can do - at least until I master time travel - right?

Just checkin' in

Hmm, not too many changes made yet for the year, but here are a few:

First I decided that 2014 was going to be a good year. I decided that positive thinking was going to be my friend and I was going to relax about money. It seems to be working so far - I've sold a couple of items and the husband and I are getting along much better.

I also decided to spend some money on myself. I was able to take 2 of the 3 classes for dance. I might still join the third one - it's every other week so I have some time still

I also spent some money on some instructional books and took a wool felting course which is coming up this weekend. Even Jp (the husband) seems excited for me to get going on that course.

I feel positive about his work situation and think we should book a vacation counting on the fact that WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A GOOD FINANCIAL YEAR.

Goal Review

I have a binder filled with my past goals and past issues of the  Amazing Life Workbook from Leonie Dawson . I am creating a whole new one for 2014 - I will go over past notes to make a plan for this upcoming year. I must improve my success this year - measured by sales in the the shop and the ability to pay bills. I would also like to take a trip to see my mom and brother this year - this year I want to drive with Eco (it's about a 15 hour drive one way), so that must be on the list.

I currently have 52 items on the list. I'd like it to be at 100. I'd like to make changes to my life almost daily but I know that momentum is hard to keep up. Some items feel really superficial but I'll leave them on my list - one can't always tell how a little item can impact on a grander scale.

Any comments or suggestions?
