Day 4, 100 day challenge

Well, today I am on track! Finally!! Had a shocking migraine over the weekend....one of those ones where I just slept the whole time because it hurt too much to keep the eyes open. Yesterday was ok, and I did heaps of washng and housework to try to get it under control. Today, I have hit the floor running.
I stopped smoking at 10.08pm last night, so thats 14 hours ago. It made sense to give up on MJs birthday. I did that 5 years ago, and didnt start again until my dad was real sick...I had my quit going for 2 years 10 months and was so pissed off with myself when I lost it. Had some shit cravings earlier, but then went to the gym and worked out for 1 1/2 hours.....so thats 2 goals that I have done work on today so far. I finished spring cleaning my bedroom and have thrown out heaps of stuff...watch out stevo, Im in a toss it out mood.
Going shortly to find out how much it would cost to frame some paintings we bought various places and to get some photos printed up of our holiday to put up in our room. Now Im working on spring cleaning the kitchen..eww, it needs it.
Anyways, onward, another craving has just hit, so I will hit the shower....distraction works.

100 day challenge

Well today is 100 days until Christmas day!!
I'm going to give myself the best Christmas present ever, 100 days of living with intention, 100 days of concentrating on my set of goals and visualising what it will be like when they are achieved. So, where to start

Goals for the next 100 days are
1. To be the mean lean fighting machine that I should be. Time is passing and my body is really not coping well with the extra weight I'm carrying around. So, for the next 100 days, I will be exercising every day....at least 5 days a week at the gym, and two days doing extra incidental exercise.
2. To not be smoking....well, that says it all. 5 years ago, I gave up smoking for my daughters 10th Birthday, on Monday she turns 15, so I'm going to use that day as my quit day.
3. To turn this house into a home that I can be proud of, so every day, decluttering a bit more, cleaning carpets and walls and light fittings.
4. To work with Stef more, getting her to use her IPad more, and giving her more lifeskills. 30 minutes a day at least of Stef 1 : 1
5. To do something nice every day....doesnt have to be huge, a simple letting someone in front of me at the shop, a bunch of flowers for a friend or driving more politely. Doing things for other people makes you feel good.
6. To get through the unfinished business list. Work is happening on this, but I really want to finish so much.
7. To get on to my vegetable garden, and make it a productive piece of dirt again. Its spring, so its time to turn it over, get some plants and a fence to keep the chooks out.
8.To work on my back patio area and make it a relaxing sanctuary that we need.

Ok, the list is long enough....100 day challenge is about consistency in working on the goals, so everyday doing something towards each one will keep me pretty busy, but it gets results, so onward I go
