- improve my posture
- Play for 30 minutes a day with children
- arm exercises
- neck exercises
- get up earlier
- drink more water
- lose 15/20lb
- tone my arms
- Give myself some time
His point is basically, work on changes in the moment. Then day by day they will go from being goals to becoming habits.
I have started working on some of this list already, but here is my thoughts about it
1. I have been going to Pilates class for a year and just love them. Now we are working on improving my shoulder and neck position, so it is becoming I am more conscious of, and adjusting between classes. So it is going from something I am forcing to more of a habit. There's a ways to go with that though but at least the first steps are taken.
2. Because I dont at all really. I am so exhausted and feel like I am already putting 110 into the day, and they they want to play with me. And by not playing with they they will end up insecure and needy. And it will be all my fault. Mummy Guilt. Get up off your fat ass and play with your most cherished. You gave up having a career working for a living and having fancy holidays and an adventurous lifestyle to do this so do it properly.
3. Arm exercises. Well this has been on my TO DO list for the past few weeks and I have not been at all good at this new habit, so I figure if I add it to my list then I might pay attention. Plus in the last couple of days I have come across this :

which is a bit more doable than this lady's exercise, which frankly, hurt.
It might just be that the music is a bit annoying though. Or I am lazy.
4. Neck exercises - see #1
5. O o I have started this. I have only mitched on one morning. Its only a few minutes earlier but I am proud of myself, a self proclaimed non-morning person. I feel better about myself for getting up, even it it means that I am just starting work a bit earlier. I have been trying to get out into the garden, especially as its so sunny here. Couldn't do this in Ireland! Anyhow, yay me.
6. Because I only drink tea and coffee. It would definitely do me good.
7. Because I hate that spare tire. But the challenge will be keeping it off. I lost it last year but its back again. :-(
8. Because I want to know that its possible - I have never had toned arms and I live in Calif FFS. I need to feel happy about showing off my arms. I think chubby arms ages you too. And I am feeling wibbly about my age.
9. Because I reeeeeeeeeeeeally need it. Even if its just 10 minutes to stare at a wall each day. I need some time when at least 2 people aren't talking to me at once, whilst I am trying to work out what to feed everyone, that they will eat, whilst 2 more people are hitting each other for no reason, or falling off things.
Of these things, those I have done today are:
- improve my posture - constantly checking my shoulders, when I remember
- Play for 30 minutes a day with children - maybe 15...
- arm exercises - yes! First time
- neck exercises - er not yet, but I did do it on Monday
- get up earlier - Yes!
- drink more water - er
- lose 15/20lb - who knows
- tone my arms - see #3
- Give myself some time - yes. Although now I am blogging about it. Defeats the point a bit. Better go. xx
