Resolutionary Challenge 2001

So I finally caved (I just wanted to be like Meghan really) and joined the resolutionary Challenge 2011. It took me two weeks of thinking about it.  Ten goals a day for 12 weeks.  Can I do it, Yes I can.  Most of it anyway.  Already I have learned about myself that I don't really pay attention to what I'm doing through out the day.  This week one of the goals was up by 7 and in bed by 11.  As soon as I saw the challenge I knew it would be a bad one.  Monday - Holiday (MLK)- 7 am on a holiday?. Thursday- book club- 11 pm just aint happen'n that night and Friday - date night with Kerry  - if we hurry I just might make it.
I knew 7 am was going to be hard for me anyway. I'm so not a morning person, but I had no idea that 11 p.m. would be a challenge.  I thought I went to bed earlier, but I guess getting ready for bed at 9:30 and going to bed aren't the same thing.Almost every night I hit the point where I only had ten minutes left and had no idea what happened to the time. No wonder I have spent the last 9 years of my life being so tired.  I thought it was the kids this whole time. What a good thing for me to realize what it is I'm actually doing with my time. I definitely need to start paying more attention. If you are like me and can't figure out why time goes so quickly and your not getting anything done, maybe you should whittle down your list of things to do and set goals on which ones you really want to get done first. and if you can't find the motivation. Pay to be part of a group that sets goals and keep track.  Then maybe you'll be motivated.  It's hard to just waste good money. It has been a great thing for me.  I'm eating better, exercising, getting my reading done and I'm even learning to play my new guitar!!(Thanks Mom)."London Bridges" or "This old man" anyone. I'll even sing it if you would like.  I really should learn Old Macdonald then I could play along with Kylan.  Here he is, if you can't tell what he is saying just listen for the animal sounds!
