If you decide to do BBG, you should follow ‘drfittermummy’ on Instagram. She’s an English oncologist with two young children who does the workouts.
Flossing is truly the hardest thing for me to do with regularity. Why?! It just feels like the last thing holding me from my bed. I wonder if actually doing it in bed would be okay? Or maybe doing it in the morning, since I tend to like the morning getting ready routine much more than the bedtime one.
I am also a fast eater and I’m working on eating more slowly. I recently listened to an Another Mother Runner podcast with a food coach or something, and she said she was a fast eater and competitive, so she made a new "game" for herself to be the last person to finish her plate. I’ve tried it at dinners with friends and family, and it actually works!! And then I don’t get seconds or snack on whatever leftover appetizer tidbits are there because my plate is the last to go!
I think these are all very attainable goals especially since you’ve laid down the groundwork for many of them.
I floss about half the time. Which is WAY better than I used to be, but I still would prefer it to be all the time 🙂 Flossing in bed would be fine if it wouldn’t bother you (I somehow don’t feel like I would want to do that but I am sure people do!!).
I heard that podcast too! That woman was very cute and I liked the idea but have not tried it yet. We’ll go for it today 🙂
I think the list is a bit pie-in-the-sky but I figured might as well put everything out there. For me I like to know what the ‘ideal vision’ looks like even if I know the journey might not be exactly what I planned.
Do you miss Facebook? I’ve thought of giving it up, if only because it would free me from the temptation of checking/posting to it… I worry that I would miss the connection to people who I only "see" through FB…
love it! some of these (kondo the whole house, closet full of fitting/flattering things) are also part of my 2017 plan. I’m starting to get excited for the new year, despite my other misgivings
with you on the family video organization/storage..if only there were another 2 hours in every day!
love your thoughts and goals! xo
Your lists are impressive! I feel slacking that I don’t have personal and family goals like this! I still feel like I’m trying to survive each day/week. Happy holidays!
