Now that we are in the last days of Summer and headed into Fall, it is a good time for change. Let's all create a "To Do" list. Put things on your list that will help you to become a better you.
During the summer, I slacked off on doing my exercises and I allowed myself to eat a few more things that I wouldn't normally eat, like more sweets and eating out more frequently. So now that the temperature outside is dropping, I can get back outside and exercise. Walking outside is such a calming thing for me. I love just being one with nature and breathing in the fresh air. I have a treadmill, but it's just not the same.
I'm also making a commitment to get back to eating healthier. I was mindful of my eating habits all summer, but I did eat out a lot more than I had been. Traveling and spending time with family & friends will cause you to eat out more. Every one just seems to want to eat out all the time and because it is so hot in the summer, no one wants to cook (unless its a bar-b-que). I'm proud to say that I've stayed away from eating pork and beef at the bar-b-ques this summer. Yay! No ribs for me and I didn't miss it at all. Besides, I feel so much better when I prepare my own meals, because I know exactly what was put into them. When I cook/prepare, I eat a lot more veggies and I control the amount of sugar (if I even use sugar) and salt (I no longer use table salt, I use sea salt) that I put into my food.
I'm currently working on my "To Do" list for the Fall. Here is my list so far.
To Do List:
1. Exercise more
2. Cook most meals at home
3. Increase vegetable and fruit intake
4. Create a shopping budget
5. Get more sleep (i.e. go to bed earlier!)
6. Work on making the blog better
7. Go on a fast (juice or smoothie or master cleanse (I haven't decided yet. I may do a combo.))
I'm sure I have a few more things to add/change on there. I'll be sure to share my completed list with you all when I'm done. I'm gonna try to limit it to only 10 items so that it is manageable and I can complete everything listed.
What are some of the things you will be putting on your "To Do" List?
List keep me in order. My mother started my obsession with list. I need to exercise more, eat healthier and work steadfast on changing careers. Seasonal changes prompts permanent ones. I love this post.
ReplyDeleteHi Dr. Reginia!
ReplyDeleteI love this statement from your comment "Seasonal changes prompts permanent ones.". That is definitely a good saying and it is so true.
Thanks for sharing your "To Do" List with us and good luck on changing careers. You can do it!
Such a great post! I think I'll create my Fall "To Do List" right now! I think keeping the list at a max of 10 things is perfect. You don't want to overextend yourself.
