It’s Goal Call Monday.   Each week brings a new focus and a little recognition! Enter your goal for the week in the comments for a chance to win a small gift card.

Last week my goal was to drink more than eight glasses of water everyday. I succeed in at least 6 days.  There was one day at work that I completely blanked on refilling my bottle!

This week, my goal is to use the juicer at least 4 times and create wholesome, natural, fresh vegetable and fruit juices.  The kids and I tried Apple today.  I’ll have to experiment with the different varieties.  Today’s was a bit tart, but tasty.  I think the gala or golden delicious will be more up the kids alley!

Goal Call Monday: Water

It’s Goal Call Monday.  There were no comments, hence no winner to announce!  So I hope you jump in on the action this week because I’d love to give away a $5.00 gift card for iTunes, Amazon or Subway for your goals.  Each week brings a new focus and a little recognition!

I’m super excited to say that I completed my vision board yesterday all because of Goal Call Monday.  I was exploring options outside of traditional paper and magazines, but was amazed to find that so many “Vision Board” sites require purchases or monthly payments.

So, I changed tactics and moved to creating my own computer version by using Power Point.  It worked beautifully.  The actual making of the vision board will come in another post.  I still need to find a way to tranfer the music from iTunes to the presentation, but for now, I can play it on my iPhone while watching the vision!  I’ve selected Carrie Underwood’s Crazy Dreams and JoJo’s Exceptional to play while watching.

Here’s what I put together with the help of a google images search, affirmation list, and past affirmations:

This week my goal is drink more than eight glasses of water everyday.  At work, I’ve not been drinking water regularly throughout the day, so this is an opportunity to get back to the basics.

Home Improvement Workout: Spring Garden

Posted by Cindy Posey Sunday, March 18th, 2012 Add a comment
 

Do you have a list of home projects to tackle, but keep avoiding?  My list of home improvement projects keep piling up.  As I’ve been redesigning how to balance work, family, health, and home, one of my goals has been to incorporate them into one as often as possible.   This week, with the wonderful promise of spring and warm weather, the kids, Grams and I ventured out to the yard to clean up, start a new shade garden, and roller skate/blade (well, the kids anyway).

What did we do for this workout?

1.  The night before I involved the children in picking a shade garden plan that would fit the space and we dug out their roller skates and roller blades.  I love Better Homes and Garden’s online plans.  When it comes to putting plants together and knowing which ones work in what conditions, I’m pretty hopeless.

2.  In the morning, we went to Home Depot and picked out everything we could find:  lawn seed, plant fertilizer, compost, mulch and plants that were part of the plan (we could only find 1).  Grabbing and lifting the bags are  a great functional training exercise, too!

3.  The Garden Preparation.  Here’s where the bulk of the workout resides.  The kids helped rack and bag up leaves.  My focus was on breaking the ground and mixing the fertilizer/compost.  After twenty minutes of solid garden preparation, I was working  up a great sweat.  The kids, in the meantime, were skating up and down our sidewalks (I love all the sidewalks in our back yard).

4.  The First Planting.  We planted our 3 little plants, washed down the side walk, watered, and ordered the rest of our plants online.  In a couple of weeks, we’ll get to complete this little corner with our arrivals, add a few outdoor pieces of furniture and be ready to enjoy the colors of spring!

Next week,  the plan is to tackle the garage which will be quite the project.

 What home improvement projects have you been putting off that can also serve as a great workout?

 
 

Goal Call Monday: Create a Vision Board

Posted by Cindy Posey Monday, March 12th, 2012 Add a comment
 

Good Morning,

When I was blogging regularly, my favorite activity was Goal Call Monday.  Everyone would share their goal for the week in the comments and we’d cheer each other to success.  It is definitely the post I want to resume on a regular basis.

Here’s how it works.  Share your Goal for the Week and all entries will be entered for a drawing.  Through a random drawing , a lucky winner will receive a small prize.

My goal this week is to create my personal vision board and share it by next week.  For over a year, I’ve been in need of replacing my old vision.  I had every intention of getting one done since moving, but never got to it.  I feel rather directionless with out very specific goals, especially as a firm believer in the Law of Attraction!

What is your goal this week?

 
 

Start with a Workout

In the last week, I’ve been trying out the Insanity Workouts.  It’s always disheartening to start a full blown workout when all exercises up to this point had been sporadic and light.

I finished up the 4th workout today with a lot of stops and resting, but the victory is in making it through the whole workout.  I look forward to seeing progress over the next few week and not feeling as exhausted after each workout.

The nice thing about the Insanity workouts is that they don’t require any gear.  The intensity is dependent on your level of fitness, so it is a useful when out of shape or in prime condition.

Have you been stuck in a rut and not sure what to do to get out of it?  With the coming spring weather, what are your plans for trying something new for your body?
