Jimenna

I'm trying again a few times over. I would like to be part of the group. I've always enjoyed the groups and the support for each other.

I started Paleo and my first.challenge Jan 13. I improved my health and lost about 25 pounds. I stopped eating paleo and I've gained some weight back and constantly have stomach pains. I really need to follow the paleo lifestyle and this is a fun way to get back into it. I'll be back to post my goals. Good Luck everyone!!

We'll I guess I respond we'll to public shaming, Lol!!! I just finished 3 drawers and bottom half of closet. I've decided to go with one drawer, one closet basically one small area at a time. I tried running, I think its really not my thing. I'll keep trying to see if maybe I can learn to like it.

We're in the home stretch! How are you doing? Taming the Clutter?

Sticking to paleo approved foods is a HUGE accomplishment, don't you think? Especially if you are used to eating junk or a lot of carbs? That takes thought, planning, shopping and foresight. These are not easy. Hurray for you!

And as for clutter - I also find myself chased by the clutter demon. Sometimes tackling a little piece of the project helps. Like - get a trash bag or recycling bin and clean up all that stuff. Or get a hamper and pick up all the laundry. Make a box for donations. Take everything that belongs in another room, pick it all up and take it to that room. I found that after I did these little tasks over and over and over, eventually the clutter became less And it became easier to pick up what was around.

Do you also find that things don't have a "home" and that is why they are laying around? That was a big problem for me. Find homes for stuff as you pick it up -if there is no home, make one. or if you cannot make one, maybe it's time for that item to go.

Clutter reduction is a huge process and really hard to get done quickly. My best success was when I had an impartial, clean freak friend, come over and help me make decisions. She plowed through everything and it felt great!

Little steps like everyone else has said. These will get you results. It takes a long time to create our challenges and an equally long amount of time to clean them up.

Rooting for you!

I haven't started.my running goal, but you've motivated me to start tonite. You are knocking these goals out!!!! Have a great week =)

So proud of you!!!

Thanks so much. When im stressed I usually eat junk.....I was able to avoid the junk binge. My goal for today is food prep. I will get to the clutter sometime this week. I hope to have one room clutter free by the end of the week. Again, thanks for the support it helped me in many ways and lifted me when I really needed it =)

It's difficult to focus on goals when things are falling apart. I have continued practicing good eating habits sticking to paleo approved foods. I Continue to go to the gym.. I think working out has helped me in many ways. I have only cleared out one bedroom. I find myself overloaded with clutter in my house and life. I think I've had 1 or 2 sodas overall. I appreciate your support :") and friendly reminders.

Good to see you're making some progress in the gym! How're your other goals going?

Thanks for reminding me that I have more than one goal, lol. I will include my other goals in my update and progress. Thanks for your support.

I hope you find your way back quickly.  I don't think you give yourself enough credit for your achievements.   Maybe that should be goal 4, lol.   Take care and Hope to see you back on track. 

Jimenna!!  Good to see you back.  Sorry to hear you're not feeling well this week, though   Take it one day at a time and do what you can to get rested up and better, because I know that when you're feeling better you'll tackle it hard again!

Hearing from you was just what I needed, thanks.   Week 3 is a better week.  I have developed a better workout routine at the gym.  I feel stronger at week 3 than I did at week 1.   Hope You are doing well. 

This week I'm struggling...Just trying to meet minimum goals. Although I had a good workout yesterday. I can't get rid of stomach flu.

Week two is a little more challenging. IM just trying to meet my goals this week.

_{I'll check out the energy bar recipe.   Hope you have a killer second week.} 

Just checking in with you.   Hope you have a great second week!!

Thanks for your regular posts.  It's great to follow along with a fellow adventurer's daily doings.

Did not know you were a mom!  And we are close to the same age!  Which is great because I see a lot of 20 somethings on here, which makes me feel like an old lady.  :-)

 My son is only 6, we still have a ways to go and I want to be able to enjoy every moment.   Thanks for your support.  Hope you had a great weekend.  

Great goals and that grainless granola looks GOOD! A trick I've found for the time I don't want to work out is to skip the planned workout and do something that makes you feel BadAss.

LOL I think about your trick when I go to the gym to help me reach badass status.  

Good goals. Working out will get easier as you go, I promise you. I too have my days when I really don't want to. Everybody does. And you did a good job losing  those pounds! Going paleo is hard, cutting sugar is the worst, but it's man, it's good for you. Good luck on tomorrows endeavors!

Thanks for the support.  Yes it's slowly getting easier.    Good luck to you!!

WooHoo I had a Paleo weekend.  I always struggle with the weekends,  I did it.   Take that week one, it was all Paleo and completing goals.   Week two here I come.  

Hope you have a successful second week :')

I made myself go to gym on a Friday night because today will be 105°...I think I had a fab.first week. 3 days at the gym. I need to develop a better weight training plan. I think im good on cardio, 45min on treadmill and slowly.increasing incline. I struggle with preplanning meals but life is so much easier when I do. Looking forward to visiting the farmers market tomorrow.

Baking, I love baking!! Do you have any Paleo recipes? I enjoyed reading your goals, def motivated me to try circuit training. I Hope you get your 4.day ticket that sounds like fun!!

Working late and not feeling well. Skipping the workout tonight. I'll be back at it tomorrow. I had lunch with coworkers today. I ordered a salad and iced tea. I really wanted a specialty sandwich. Held strong and the salad was really yummy!!!

I had some free time at home so I tackled push ups. I was able to complete 3 sets of girlie push ups. So proud of myself getting closer to my goal. I went to gym and completed 30 min treadmill with a higher incline. Also completed two legs machines and ab machine. I need to add jogging next. I also cleared my sons closet and boxed old clothes and replaced with summer wear. I love this goal, small steps and I will have a clutter free home.
