100 Small Steps Challenge Days 36-42

Hi all,

Well I sort of missed last week but I am back with the next chapter.


Day 36 was "planning day" so armed with my exercise book and pen I began to make plans for 2010 which I added to my diary/journal. I also came up with a weight loss rewards chart. I have stickers...star ones for each time I go to the gym and heart ones to show how many cals (according to my heart rate monitor) I have burned each session. Linda and I worked kind of together and have similar plans with our own "goals" (also included...accountability) I have to say...4 days in and I feel very positive about it all.



Day 37 and I made this yummy muesli. There is rolled oats, all bran, oat bran, crushed LSA mix, psyllium husks, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Soo yummo and full of fibre!!! It makes a huge container that will last for ages at 1/3 cup at a time.






Day 38 and I had my yummy muesli for breakfast with a sliced banana and some halved strawberries and skim milk...was sooo good and filling too. (the milk was definitely normal low fat...not um so good lol)







Day 39 and it's New Years Eve. I got my bubbles...ok it was dry ginger ale...but no hangover the next day lol. I was also chatting to Linda on msn. This picture was taken a couple of minutes before midnight. I was also talking to Jules in QLD and Elaine in Scotland. So chatting in 3 different time zones at my midnight lol.





Day 40 New Years Day...and Happy New Year to all!!!!

Melbourne had some stormy weather about over New Years eve and New Years day. I took this one on the night of the 1st, there was heaps of lightning around and I just love this picture. It hadn't yet started to rain but you could feel it.



Day 41 and I was woken by my mobile going off...it was my daughter who is at her dad's at the moment. She just wanted to say good morning . That was so special :) (I know the picture isn't that clear but that was the best one I was able to get)







Day 42 and I went to the gym for the first time in 2010. I got the new Fernwood magazine too while I was there. I did my program and the aim is to go every morning this week.....will keep you posted.






So there you have another week of me :) Till the next post have a great week.

Hi Chelle :)

I love your proposed use for your journal. What's in the pink envelope? The star and heart stickers? How many stars you got so far for the year?

The muesli looks yummy.

Yeah - hit the gym hard baby! Go girl!

Have a great week.

Thanks I love the ideas I have come up with too. So far I have 2 stars.(will be 3 after today) The pink envelope...lol. I had to go back and check what you were talking about and dicovered you meant the little post-it note thingy. That is for notes to be stuck in as I go throughout the year...ideas etc.

The muesli IS yummy. Just finishing some so I can go to the gym...but oooh my abs hurt lol

WOW you are doing so well! I noticed that you have joined J. Kaye's 100+ reading challenge and that you are excercising. I find it helps to listen to audio books while you excercise or are doing housework. Helps me a lot!
