Day 122: Keeping the Weekly List Working for Me!

The general weekly plan is going really well. Helping me to keep on track and work in the reminders I need!
I will continue to update my "weekly" as I work out the kinks. Having it in a spreadsheet that I can copy from and add my other to do's works great. I think my next step to optimize this will be to color code work to do items that have to be done today. I can complete those and move other items to the following day that are not urgent. I like to keep things on my radar by seeing it.

Day 120: Reworking the To Do List for me

Writing a To Do List everyday has helped me to be extremely productive. I have noticed myself procrastinating a bit and not being as thorough the last few weeks. I asked myself - why? and what can I do to keep it up and be move beyond just being productive.

I learned so much taking the Chalene Johnson 30 Day To Do List Challenge. Most notably - being sure that you put two small babysteps on your TDL that pushes you to achieve your push goals.  I have not been completely absent from working toward those goals - but let's face it the craziness of kids, activities, making dinner etc can overwhelm you and those things slide to the bottom.

Let me explain what I do for a living. First I am a stay-at-home mom. I had to bring in some income so I work part-time from home doing marketing work and an evolving business managing social media for companies. I have to really work hard at prioritizing my day so that I can balance the being the "stay-at-home" and the "work from home". When you have a computer sitting in front of you - its easy to jump on and just work.

I decided today to sit down and make a weekly to do list mapping out activities that I can schedule Monday - Friday. I can easily pull it up on the computer and fill in additional things for the day I need to accomplish.
I have now eliminated having to rewrite certain to do's and have created a more systematic approach to the week.  Whereas Chalene suggest only putting to do's on your list that must, must be done that day - I have to make mine a bit more extensive. I will star anything that is a must - but to stay productive for the week I have to spread out the to do's and work to get them completed each day.

A note on priorities. All my resolutions are moving forward. I feel like I have stalled on my financial plan. Admittedly not my favorite of topics but probably the most important. To date I have been working on ways to cut expenses. Sure that is a huge part - I have to look at increasing income. I am working on it and have some irons in the fire. It is a priority to get that credit card debt paid and a great safety net.

Day 116: The Workout

My health plan has been going so well. I have lost 17 lbs. - so I am a little over half way to my goal of losing 30 lbs.  I started my second round of ChaLEAN Extreme and it is going so well. I am lifting heavy and slow. Simply being stronger and having stamina will lead to a more successful Burn Phase of this program.

I would give myself a 7 on the scale of 1 - 10 in regards to eating. I have room for improvement. I started weight watchers several weeks ago. It is helping me to stay focused. I have so much going I slip when it comes to writing down what I eat. That is so important. What is the WW saying??...If you Bite It - Write it!
I am committing to writing it all down. I will see family in four weeks that has not seen me in awhile. I know for sure they will already see a slimmer toned me! I want to make it even more obvious! I am laser focused!

I have physical next week. I have never had high cholesterol - but very curious to see my levels after drinking Shakeology for the last 5 months. I last had my cholesterol checked in 2007. I will let you know the results!


Happy St. Patrick's Day!
