This post is a part of the Slice of Life challenge which is hosted on the Two Writing Teachers blog. The month of March the challenge is to write a blog post a day.
I had a glorious day off today after the grueling week of parent conferences. The conferences went well and I was able to have some great conversations with parents and families of the students I work with. I still want to work to make my communications better, but I am glad to know that most families understand.
Today I will write a quick post so I can get back to reading.
I have been very frustrated with myself lately because of the choices I am making about food and exercise. I feel like today is the day to publicly proclaim that I am going to take control of this. No more excuses. I need to cut back on sugars and eat better and I need to make sure that I am regularly exercising.
This week I will start will another daily challenge to myself. I will exercise every day for at least 15 minutes…every day. I need to do this for a little while to get myself back in the habit of making time for exercise. This blogging challenge has helped me to write every day, now I am challenging myself to move every day.
I need to move toward healthier eating habits again, but I am not sure yet what the goal will be there. I may incorporate some small postscript to my slices each day. I’m still working on this one.
Good Luck to you! Sigh, I need to do the same, but next week is parent teacher conferences, so I have to wait a week to have a life.
Good luck with your goal of exercising. I've been trying to get back in that habit as well. So far I'm making it at least a few days a week.
I totally feel the same way. Why is it so hard to do? Every week I swear it's the week I'm going off soda. Then I get to work on Monday and make it until lunch before I pop open a Pepsi. The rest of the days I don't even make it until recess. Ugh! Good luck to you. You can do it!
Good luck! I struggle with this too! Having a dog helps me get a little exercise, but I really have to start eating better! And like you, I tell myself this every day- mostly in the morning before I get out of bed and start putting junk in my mouth!
Wow–writing and exercising every day?!?!? Good luck with that. I'm cheering for you, though, and I'll watch for your updates!
Last April, as the SOL ended, I started the "at least 15 minutes daily exercise" challenge. I have done OK with it…but the SOL wiring makes it really hard to do…so I give myself a 2 days off each week! The problem I have with the exercise challenge is that I have no FEEDBACK from anyone! I keep hoping th scales will tell me something nice about my treadmill time, but they just stare back at me with that blank look! Perhaps we need a support exercise blog group? SIgn me up please.
I know a lot of us connect with this post! Great goals, and I hope you achieve them.
Physical. So important. Where our spirit resides and when we honor the physical and emotions and spirit soars. Good luck with your goals!
