A Good Day {Includes Exercise Plan}

My Day Highlights:

Relaxation }{ My wonderful nieghbor Loyette came over to visit us today, I love talking with her and both of my children adore her!

Nutrition and Love }{ I always have some Green Tea with Lemon everyday, it is divine. I used an Ice pack on my neck and wrist. Then massaged my neck really good and I keep stretching my neck through-out the day. I taught my son how to massage my back and neck and massaged his too... he is getting pretty good!

Exercise and Surroundings }{ I have adjusted my Fitness Plan a little... I am doing my Core exercises today!
I am now working out everyday. It is recommended by several Doctors to work-out at least 30 minutes everyday. The main reason I choose to do this is because if I say I'm going to work-out 3 to 4 times a week... I end up saying to myself "I'll do it tomorrow" when I should be working out that day. What ended up happening was I did not exercise for almost a whole week! I keep record so I can keep track of my progress and keep it on track just for these reasons. {I really love my calendar my husband got me that I picked out at the mall. I do not usually like calendars but this one had cute happy characters and plus some fun stickers with it.}

My Daily Exercise Plan usually looks like this now....
I choose Before below because that is my Goal...

Before Breakfast:


  • Yoga (10 minutes)

Before Lunch:

  • Relaxing (30 minutes, good pace) Walk (Out-side preferably)
Before Dinner


  • A Day - Core Exercises (30 minutes, Abs, Lower back, Arms, Legs) with a few stretches

OR

  • B Day - 50 Jumping Jacks or 50 Jump Rope (up to 3 minutes, with a 10 sec. break at 25) with a few stretches

Record Progress: A = core-day or B = off-day

Record Diet: G = Good or P = Poor

Total Time for A Day = 1 hour and 10 minutes

Total Time for B Day = 43 minutes

I am working on a Poster.... with Photos to Inspire this Plan and include instructions. It may be a while before it is done because I have a pretty booked schedule!

De-clutter Progress }{ Month of February

I decided to take things as I see them.... a little at a time. Since we all got sick it threw off my plan. I have been doing very good de-cluttering and maintaining it though!

I will focus on these areas for this month of February:
Living Room & Entry/Hallways
Kitchen and Pantry
Dining Room
Bathrooms
Master Bedroom & Kids' Rooms

We will deal with Storage and porch area as needed.
