What a week! I am so happy that we had 2 four day weeks at school and another one coming up the first week in February. We spent the long weekend in Disney (post coming up), so let's see how I did on last weeks 5 for Five:
1. Avoid the drama that is going on at work right now.
I didn't feed into the drama, per se, but I did blog about it here: http://faithfulinfirst.blogspot.com/2013/01/you-wont-believe-it.html. This was my way of avoiding it at work and to help me find closure (I didn't, but I guess I can give myself half of a point...)
2. Log what I eat 3 out of 5 days.
I used Fitness Pal for 4 days and then Disney took over. So check this off!
3. Hang out with my daughter one night this week.
We hung out 2 nights this week, so I am ahead of the game. We had a great time and I am looking forward to hanging with my 18 year old many more times before she leaves this nest.
4. Drink at least 5 glasses of water a day.
Done!
5. Smile at everyone I see in the hallway at work.
Done! I even smiled at DRAMA!!!!
So here is what I have in store for this week:
1. Start some sort of workout plan. I am checking a few out, I will pick one of them this week.
2. Log my food intake for 5 days.
3. Unplug an hour before I go to bed. This is hard for me. I check email one more time, get in a game of solitaire, facebook, twitter, instagram, blog, oh boy!
4. Do my homework in a timely manner. I am a procrastinator extraordinaire! This Master's Certificate in Math is killing me!
5. Grade at work, not at home. (Yes, I am that teacher. Grading at home in front of the TV or while spending time with the family. I. will. not.. do it.)
So that's it for this week. What is your 5 for Five? Link up below and let's motivate each other!
Another week of the year has gone by and it is time for a new 5 for Five. First, here is how I did last week:
1. Post my 5 for Five (cheated, I know, but check it off, nonetheless!)
Done!
2. Leave work at the end of the workday 4 out of 5 days.
I was able to achieve this 3 out 5, which made me mad. This whole school year I haven't left late at all, so I thought this would be a given. Wouldn't you know it, crap happened 2 days in a row and I had to stay to put out the fires!
3. Eat healthy all 5 days.
Nope. That's all I am saying.
4. Work out 2 out of 5 days.
Double Nope
5. Apparently I can't count and didn't have a number 5....
This week I will:
1. Avoid the drama that is going on at work right now.
2. Log what I eat 3 out of 5 days.
3. Hang out with my daughter one night this week.
4. Drink at least 5 glasses of water a day.
5. Smile at everyone I see in the hallway at work.
Let's see how I do! Click the button below and link up:
I am linking up with the girls for 5 for Five. I wasn't too good at linking up last year, so in order to keep the balance (OLW), this will be my Monday post. 5 for Five is a link up with Jessica at Fantastically Average and Jenn at Party of One. You can click on the hyperlink to find out how it works.
So here is my 5 for Five for this week:
1. Post my 5 for Five (cheated, I know, but check it off, nonetheless!)
Since I wasn't good at all with this last week, I included it as part of my five for this week. I might do this for a few weeks until it becomes a habit.
2. Leave work at the end of the workday 4 out of 5 days.
I sometimes always stay about an hour after the final bell rings to get things done. I end up talking to friends or dilly dallying most of the time. I want to be one of those people that pick up and go when my contract says I can, so this week I am striving for this. Maybe if I do it more often, I will start using my time wisely.
3. Eat healthy all 5 days.
I already messed this up today, for sure. For the sake of not cheating twice in the same post, I will keep the 5 day goal... I figure I can't let myself down the rest of the week. I really have to do this, chocolate has become a regular member of all of the food groups for a few months. I love my chocolate, but I think it is time that I limit myself and get on the better eating track.
4. Work out 2 out of 5 days.
This is going to be the hardest for me. I know 3 days is the average, but I won't do it, I never do. If I start with 2 days, I might go to the 3 (I won't, but it looks good in writing). How do you motivate yourself to keep this promise?
So that's my 5 for Five this week. I hope you comment and leave me some inspiration and that you link up. Let's do this together, who knows, by the end of the year...52 posts later we might truly accomplish something together!
