July’s Journey!

Hi all! I can’t believe it’s July already!

I hope 2023 is treating you all well! For me, it has been good, but very busy. I had to give myself grace in some areas so I didn’t get overwhelmed. Now that things seem like they are settling and I’m feeling more comfortable, it is time to restart my health journey!

Below is a peek at what I’m working on…

I decided to make monthly goals, break those goals into smaller steps, and only plan one week at a time. I can reevaluate each week to see what worked and what didn’t, then readjust accordingly.

How do you goal plan? How do you track your progress? I look forward to hearing from you and sharing July’s Journey with you!

Be Peaceful,

Week 1……10-Week Challenge

Hi All! I hope you are all having a nice week! I am almost through Week 1 of my 10-Week Challenge! Week 2 starts Saturday, 4/15!

For week 1, I have been creating a rough draft of my daily schedule using this template.
Week 2, I will use this template to tweak and fine-tune my schedule.

During Week 2, I will also make 1 blog post and re-start my focus on food tracking & intake, aiming for Blue Dots 5 out of 7 days. Blue Dots are a Weight Watchers thing. You get a Blue Dot for eating in a healthy range.

I would love to hear from you. Are you making steps towards you long term goals by making small changes?

Have a great weekend, and Be Peaceful!

Have a Happy New Year!

As we enter a New Year, we usually reflect on the last year. We think about what we’ve accomplished, what we failed at, who we spent it with, the memories we made, and what we could have done differently. Sometimes, we set goals for the next year or make resolutions. Other times, we look at past years’ broken resolutions or abandoned goals.

If you do any of the above, I encourage you to do so with love, kindness, forgiveness, and understanding for yourself. Remember to acknowledge all of your accomplishments, no matter how large or small. Speak to yourself the way you would a friend.

Remember that you can always start or try again, as many times as necessary. Success can only happen if we start or try. True failure happens when we never begin or completely give up. Also, the New Year doesn’t have to be your start day because we have 7 days in a week to choose from!

Your goals and resolutions are yours! You can and will make them happen, but on your time frame! You got this!

Be Peaceful,

~Nettie
