In ten days, I will be 56 years old. Not too bad, but there is room for improvement if this body and mind plan on hanging around for another 40-50 years. I'm so proud of what I have accomplished in my life; there have been very few bumps in my road and so many wonderful rises and peaks. I just feel the need to tweak, jump-start, kick myself in the butt in a few areas that I want to improve, and I am hoping by recording these goals and milestones, I will motivate myself to keep up the great work I intend to put into myself.
Now, honestly, I'm not sure who really wants to read about my day-to-day moments, but if you find yourself here, and you want to go along with me, well then I am happy to have you with me.
So let's get started.
Today, I started this project, Project: Lana's Journey by doing a few things.
1. I unsubscribed to Weight Watchers. I know it's a wonderful program, but I really suck at writing things down, and for me, it just didn't work.
2. I called up the best neighbor in the whole wide world, Wannie, and we went for a walk. Probably about 2 miles, but we both saw 5900+ steps on our pedometers. We both are using phone apps; I'm using Samsung Health because it's already on my phone. Here are a few pictures of our view on the walk:
3. I uploaded an app called Fabulous, and I am going to give it a shot at motivating me to be the best me. It comes from Duke University, and so far I like the way it is taking on the challenge of making me a better me in a holistic way. Mindfulness is just as important as diet and exercise!. I will keep you posted on my progress, but the first goal it sets is drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning.
So, there you have it! My first day working on being a better me. If you are inclined, leave me an encouraging word. Heck, join me if you would like. Here's to the next 56 years of being the best I can be!
I will come back at the end of each day and record my steps and how my day went as a whole.
Today My Fitness Pal says I walked 7278 steps. I would have walked more, but I was a huge dufus and wore the wrong shoes to walk in....Now I have a big blister on the pad of each foot, so I pretty much hobbled around here the rest of my day. I also drank water in the morning! I drank water more than just in the morning, but my challenge from my Fabulous app is to drink water as soon as I wake up in the morning. Off I go now to put the water bottle by my side of the bed. Daily challenge accepted and met! Sweet dreams Peeps!
