Category: Big Goals

Self care takes effort. It doesn’t just happen. The body and mind need to be maintained. Similar to a garden, without effort, weeds will pop up and overtake everything. With a bit of consistent pruning, the results can be beautiful.

It’s rarely doing the work that is hard, it’s starting the work. Once you begin, it’s often less painful to continue working. This is why—in the beginning—it is often more important to build the habit of getting started than it is to worry about whether or not you are doing enough. – James Clear

01: Purge 1000 items {Status: 725/1000}

After a luxurious vacation, I must admit that this is on hiatus. I’ll start up again this week.

02: Organize the Attic 

Several items went into the attic — but they were carefully curated and placed in their appropriate new home. We also added a section of flooring in the process. Baby steps!

What you do on your ordinary days determines what you can achieve on your extraordinary days. – James Clear

Finally finding my groove, and this week was the most productive one yet.

01: Purge 1000 items {Status: 725/1000}

With one week before vacation and house-sitters getting ready to take over my house, decluttering and cleaning were a priority. I tackled the sunroom, and I filled the trashcan twice. Things that left are CDs, purses, bulletin boards, boxes, photo albums, craft supplies, and cards (some left over from my part-time job at Hallmark… how many years ago was that?)

02: Organize the Attic 

A few items went into the attic — but they were very organized in making their journey.

It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do Before you throw more time at the problem, throw more focused action at the problem. You don’t need more time, you need fewer distractions.

– James Clear

Another crazy week where my professional and personal “to-do” lists are multiple pages long – and, for reasons beyond my control, I only added items this week (not subtracting), but that’s ok. I did manage to complete one really big task at work and a few little personal tasks at home. Through all of this, I still plugged in every day – my Power Zones Challenge and enjoyed a few Valentine’s Day rides for fun. Overall, this week was 10/10.

01: Purge 1000 items {Status: 532/1000}

Now that the bathroom remodel is nearly complete, it was time to whittle down the bathroom supplies so that ALL supplies fit neatly under the counter for easy access. To tackle this, I took everything out and make important decisions. For example: who needs prescriptions and cosmetics from 2018? My husband said, “What if…”. My dear, if we are in need of those medications, we are in need of medical care immediately. So, two trash cans later, the bathroom is quite tidy.

02: Organize the Attic 

One box from the attic was dwindled down to one small sandwich-sized plastic bag of ribbon for holiday gift wrapping. Other than that, the entire box left my house (and was added to the total above).

It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it.

If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment.

– James Clear

Today was better. I still have professional and personal “to do” lists that are multiple pages long – and, for reasons beyond my control, I only added items this week (not subtract) – but, that’s ok. I still plugged in every day – my Power Zones Challenge and returning to new rides just for fun. It was a good week.

Time is valuable. You can waste it, spend it, or invest it. The choice is yours.
– Denis Morton, Peloton Coach

The challenge continues. The bathroom remodel is still not complete – over one week behind schedule. We waited for the majority of the week for a decision about the insurance claim on the car — finally receiving closure on Saturday (totaled car, and purchased a new one). But, I plugged in every day. I had the most intense workout schedule ever this week – an FTP test and a 75 ride. But, I did it. Bring on more challenges!

01: Purge 1000 items {Status: 241/1000}

Do one thing per day that compounds. – James Clear

This week, it was tougher to navigate my new fitness commitments. Amidst a house remodel that requires that I shower at my parents’ house and a car accident that reduce our wheels to one vehicle, I struggled with a different schedule. But, I plugged in every day. A few months ago, I would have leaned into the excuses — but, I’m different. I will feed my health every day.

01: Purge 1000 items {Status: 7/1000}

Although I’m not going to count this one in the total (as I replaced it with a different one), I did say “Bye” to a very old, discolored, cracked fiberglass tub/shower and 1970s fixtures. Hello, new tub, fixtures, and glass tile!

You just need to have the courage to eliminate everything that doesn’t directly feed what you really want. – James Clear

As a wife, mom, and educational leader, I feel like I need to be “on call” 24/7. It has been really difficult to take the time for myself to work out (1 hour each day), pause to eat mindfully, read, and go to bed early without feeling incredibly guilty. I keep reminding myself that I can only give to others when I am my best self…

“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.” – James Clear

This is a statement that has driven my actions this week. Every meal, every snack, every glass of water, every workout, and every morning that I wake up is an opportunity to vote for the person that I want to become: healthy. I am also realizing that my mind holds the power – I can think I can or can’t, and both are true. But, what if I actually CAN hold that Zone 6 in Power Zones Training for the entire minute? What if I CAN complete a 45-minute Peloton session? What if I CAN pedal out of the saddle? Funny… when I think I CAN, I actually CAN. Mind over matter, friends.

I make suggestions. You make decisions.
– Denis, Peloton

Unlike previous years, I stepped into this year recognizing that I would only TRANSFORM myself through consistent work. This week, I showed up – every day, with 100% effort. No, I’m not going ALL IN on every workout. Instead, I am making intentional decisions to balance training with push efforts while adding cool-down rides, stretches, and mindful nutrition at every opportunity.
