I've made a schedule...which is, of course, on my other computer. So, I will post that later.
However, I'm off to a great start!
Interested in details?
5:15 a.m. Alarm rang. I swiped it to turn off mode. After all, I was making a greeting card in my dream and I had to go to sleep for a few minutes to finish this virtual card. Weird, yes? But, I often have to go back to sleep for a few minutes to get closure to my dreams.
5:25 a.m. Guilt and getting up.
5:30 a.m. Walked to the gym. Loud morning - birds chirping, bugs buzzing and a few stray squirrels running about.
5:38 a.m. Signed in and lifted weights for 40 minutes. Treadmill for 12 minutes. Only three people at the gym and no one on duty. This could be my new favorite time!7:00 a.m. Got home and started to do work for an hour. After all, I have to keep up while I'm out which is why I'm never gone too long.
8:00 a.m. Prayers, scriptures, and a little nap.
9:00 a.m. Conference call with someone from another government agency. It went on for an hour and I had to be engaged the entire time!
10:30 a.m. Excited and nervous. I am a camelon of colors right now and am VERY nervous about being seen in a swimsuit after a year out of major sun and jelly legs. But, dressed in the suit and swimming shorts anyway and walked back down the hill to the pool.
Ahhh, what a wonderful stroke of luck! A secret happiness came my way. At 11:00 a.m., I walked out to the pool deck and there were three senior citizens there to swim their laps and one lifeguard too busy inspecting her own belly button ring to really worry about me. Plus, one look at her and I knew that I'd have to take care of my own life if it became endangered in the 3.5 feet of water.
As luck would have it, the entire neighborhood decided not to come to the pool until noon! So, I had a full half hour of laps before one woman decided I was her new best friend and we basically did water aerobics across the pool as we talked. I was able to get my last half hour in when she left and five minutes drying in the sun was enough for me. Sunbathers and kids floated in as I floated out...
1:00 p.m. Lunch and errands.
4:00 Barnes and Noble - to go through one hour of emails (that was one of my goals) and to get out of the house. Not that I was in it at all today.
5:30 p.m. Dinner, which was mostly watermelon ...on this almost 100 degree day. 111 with the heat index I suppose.6:00 p.m. - Cleaned the refrigerator. Ok, so it isn't very full and it is already clean so it took all of five minutes. This ended up being a goal for today and a very short family home evening activity. Ha. Start small, right?
The day isn't over yet, but I've exercised three times (remove excess weight), deleted emails (remove excess info), and cleaned the refrigerator (removed excess food).
Now, tonight I just have one more goal - scan for two hours. Scan photos, old photo album pages, etc. That will take care of the "remove excess paper" goal.
I promise not to write a long winded post like this the rest of the week, but wanted to show that I started off the day well and stuck to the plan and still allowed some wiggle room for other fun.
