Terinatum Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Goal #1Take care of my skinAction - Careful Skin Care through moisturizing, facials, callus care, Epsom salt baths, and gentle cleanlinessHow Much - Everyday I have done this everyday and I can tell how good it is for my body, although I did the minimal a day or two and don't want to get in that habit! A- Goal #2Take care of my digestionAction- Affectionate CookingHow Much -two meals per week I cooked one meal this week. I was able to eat at home a lot more than usual which was really great. I'm enjoying the idea of prepping and cooking. Now to convince myself to get in there and burn some shit! B- Goal #3Take care of my musclesAction - Faithful Massage and PT w/dancingHow Much - Everyday Not great on this one. Massage was okay, but the dancing and PT exercises have been truly lacking. Time to step it up! C- Life Quest:Action - Find things that I like or am interested in doing, and do some! Examples -Cleaning the House, Sewing, Writing, Photography, Walking/Hiking, Swimming, Gaming, Playing Cards, Pool, etc…How Much - Two hours per week (no less than 20 minutes at a time) I tried a few things, mostly that I have already done so I knew I would like them. I'm giving myself partial credit for these due to the fact that jumping into newness with both feet is asking too much of myself. I'm doing that in the cooking department which is infinitely more important right now. Sewing, Yoga, Winter Walking, Rearranging Bedroom (many times - including how I make my bed!) to find how I like it, C+ Overall, it was a good week. The fall of intense motivation came around day four, but I was able to keep up with most of the goals so I kicked myself into gear (with help from all of you as well). I feel good and it feels good to feel good! Lol I have flapjacks to try and open-faced tuna fish sandwiches to do. I am certain one of those will happen tonight!!!! Thank you, Terinatum, you have been a life-saver!Thank you, Rebels, you are my rocks! 2 The Way Better Now than Back Then Better Now than Later On Link to comment

Teros Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Good stuff. You're right about the food being a bigger deal. It's been shown that diet is 85% responsible for weight loss. Get a good food foundation, and good vibes build off of that. 1 Link to comment

Terinatum Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Yea, I have chicken to cook and curried rice to make. I also will be attempting flapjacks! I like their thinness compared to pancakes. I'm hoping I can muster up some motivated action to really have a good showing with food cooking this week. Thanks for dropping by. How's the heat?

Ba'sini'on Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 There's actually a difference between pancakes and flapjacks? Huh, never know that, I always thought that flapjacks was the original name for pancakes. How are you doing Teri?

Terinatum Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 AAWWWWESSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEE My flapjacks came out really well. My friend liked them as much as I did. Ooo, tell me how the flapjacks turn out,They were really nice on the tops (first side cooked) and a little less brown on bottom (a few seconds more should fix that). Oh, and they were tasty! There's actually a difference between pancakes and flapjacks? Huh, never know that, I always thought that flapjacks was the original name for pancakes. How are you doing Teri?Hum.. you might be right about the names. I just always assumed that the flapjack was thinner. IDK How am I????I am well, really well.I find I am rounding a corner in the kitchen, mostly around foods. No longer eating:bolognabagelspackaged cookiescandy (minus gourmet chocolates)Dr Pepper (obviously)All soda Considering the following things in the very near future:no snacks between meals (if I'm sitting in the kitchen and the food is not completely junk, then that counts as a meal)drinking a lot more waterself talking more when I feel emotionally nauseous about eating or drinkingbuying and using a FITBIT Force (any comments about the quality of this is welcome) So, how is everyone else?I'ma gonna go check!Cheers,Teri 1 The Way Better Now than Back Then Better Now than Later On Link to comment

Matt_72 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 The heat is almost at it's end. We have been pretty lucky that we have been able to keep downstairs cool enough to sleep and live. We are hoping that the cool change gets here early enough so that we can deflate the camp mattress and let Junior sleep in her cot tonight.Some moron has started some grass fires about 5km's from us which is nice. Roads are blocked and there are firetrucks going everywhere but no property damage has been reported yet but the wind is about to change direction so nobody knows what will happen. It can't get to us but it's not nice for those in the firing line. Level 8 Satyr ScoutSTR 11|DEX 5|STA 10|CON 9|WIS 12|CHA 5 Previous Challenge Woot What?MFPEndomondo Link to comment
