I deserve it!

I put up a post on the through thick n thin blog about my new goals and I wanted to put them in here as well.

I have decided to only now wear my pedometer when I am working out. I am setting my nightly jog goal to hit 5000 steps and if I go on a walk or do some planned work out I will wear it then as well.

I think part of me feels like I am wearing a leash or something and it has been taking away my attention from things I would like to really get done. It is simply all just a mental thing for me I can't explain it but these goals I have set up I think will be good for me and help me stay motivated.

I also decided to write out my to do list on a peace of laminated paper and use a dry erase marker for daily things I would like to get done. I am finding it very helpful because seeing all the things get checked off really helps me to feel accomplished.

I always seem to over look the little things that I do, well maybe they are not little but what I feel is expected of me as a stay at home mom that is home with 5 kids some times 6 kids around all day every day. So if I have my check list and marking the off when I have time to reflect on my day I can then let it sink in wow I did do all that and I deserve to say good for you!
