Keeping LC .....though number of meals vary, scale keps moving. ( yeah)

Hey Nawchem, great to see you here, I started with 5 minutes of stretching, yes you read that right, 5 minutes, no excuse not to do 5.LOL
I also followed an organizing blog that in order to get things done you set a timer for 15 minutes and just tackle as much as you can in that allotted time on the task and then you give yourself permission to stop. It works amazingly well....and it takes the task from "oh my I don't know where to start" to "start anywhere and do 15 minutes". Those 15 minutes add up quickly over a week.

Good luck with your list, starting the day with a little prayer of gratitude helps, makes you remember how fortunate you are and helps you remember you are important enough to "follow your list".

Thursday: The same as Wednesday. Good on carbs, but a bit too high on calories. I had plenty of energy for a 3 mile jog at the Y. Again I called it a so-so day with another tick in the late eating column.

Day 21 of 90

1) Upon waking each morning, say a prayer of gratitude.

2) Drink 80+ ounces of water a day.

3) Do at least 15 minutes of a something I have been procrastinating. (caught up on washing, washed, line dried and folded three loads)

4) Plan lunch and supper for the next day. (lunch quiche and asapargus, supper out bun less cheese burgers and mustard and mayo if they have it, hope there is some LC veggie options as well)

5) 15 minutes min stretching each day.

Last day of 15 minutes, going to up it to 20 minutes which is my goal for exercising per day on top of my regular physical activity, I tend to be an active person.
