It's Friday. Keeping the TDL simple. I need to do major TDL braindump. What is a braindump you ask? Very simple. It is when you have one or more multiple projects going on and need to do a written list of everything in your head that needs to be accomplished. Too much swimming in your head causes choas, unfocused priorities and lack of progress.

Today's list is strictly priority:

    3. Titan
    4. DYS
  2. CFA WC Brain Dump

Day 246: Turbo Fire

I ordered Turbo Fire last week!  I cannot wait to get my delivery!! I tracked my package today and it is already at my local post office so I should have it today or tomorrow. I am hoping today! Something I discovered about me in regards to working out. I have to workout first thing in the morning or most likely it won't get done. I am 99% more likely to workout using at home workout routine than going to the gym.
I busted through CLX and had great results. Lost 15 lbs. and lots of inches. Ready to bust out Turbo Fire and drop more lbs. Each day I will post what workout I am doing with a review.

Day 241: Prioritizing To Do's with Goals

Always lots to do! Working to get back to focusing on big picture goals. It is so tough not to get pinned down with the little things day in and day out. I think I need a sign above my desk that makes me focus on the big picture. If I don't focus on the "high level goals" all I get done is the time suckers. Yes, those things need to completed but I have to prioritize.

I am:

  • Committing to writing top 10 goals every Tuesday.
  • Marking with an * if it a To Do that cooresponds to achieving those goals.
One thing I have learned so far with this process - it that it takes practice and constant effort to make the most of the TDL. Sticking with it!

What should my sign say for my desk? I need a constant reminder.

TIP: Found this great site to make your own grocery list! It is very cool. You can check off from a prepopulated list add additional items. You simply hit submit and then it populates your entire list! Very cool.

Day 235: make your to do list today

Summer seems to be going by at lightening fast speed! Maybe I should just get used to the fact life just does not slow down. Grocery's always need to be purchased, laundry always needs to be done, extra expenses always rear their ugly head. All you can do it go at each day systematically - making your to do list and getting it all (or as much as you can) done or as much as you can being sure to take the time to have some fun and just be.

The to do list had helped me to keep the chaos away. One of the biggest points to Chalene Johnson's plan is to weekly focus on your overarching goals. I have not been doing that at all. I think it is effecting my progress. I am going to go back and listen to her goals video on her 30 day to do challenge series.

Day 228, 229, & 231

Wow - what a crazy end of week. Beginning Thursday until Saturday evening.

I had TDL's written each day with no time to post online. I organized a private party for a client this weekend. I was out the door early and working the written TDL I kept on a clip board kept me in check and on target! All went so smooth! It was a lot of work.

Because of a crazy Thursday - Saturday I made one TD today:

Sunday: Relatives in Town - Enjoy the day with them.

Back to exercise tomorrow. Going to make my Monday TDL in the morning. Just need a break. When I tell you I worked my butt off this weekend - I did! Need some mental downtime this evening.

Hope you had a great weekend.

Day 225: Listen to your body

Late post friends. Todays TDL below and still working...

Quick update on my workouts....
I have been struggling with some serious foot issues. I finally broke down and went to the doctors today. My workouts were struggling b/c I would workout and then be in pain for a couple days. Recover...workout and repeat pain. Last week after doing step class I could barely walk by end of day. I literally crawled to bed with tears because the pain was so bad. I have a chronic case of plantar fasciitis. I am giving myself a week of not doing anything then hoping to go back to my CLX workouts. I am going to try some pilates classes in the meantime to keep the load off. New flash: Listen to your body!
