Diet

I haven't had a bit of junk food this week!!!  AND I'm off all diet pop (soda:)

I'm doing the slim fast diet about half the time.  Other times, I just try to eat a healthy meal.



How was your week?

Weekly Weigh In ~ 10/13/18

Well, I've decided to go back to posting my weekly weigh-ins here on Colletta's Kitchen Sink.  Managing two blogs was just a pain in the patooty.

I'm still doing the #Last90days Challenge that you can read more about HERE.  It is basically a challenge to live the last 90 days of 2018 like you would the first month of the year with resolutions going full force.  It actually is more about changing your habits than resolutions though.  Again, go to the post above to read more details.

I've added a column to my daily planner with the numbers 1-5 so that I can mark off each day that I complete one of the 5 to Thrive points.  I love when I get to mark all 5 points off!

(Just to let you know:  I'll be doing my actual weigh in on Friday mornings and then posting the results here on Saturday.  That gives me a bit of time to write the post.)

On to this week's weigh in!

Diet

The #Last90days Challenge has been so good for me and my diet!  The food that I gave up was junk food and I have been killing it since starting the challenge on October 1st.  I think I only caved one day and had a small cupcake.  Even that cupcake made me realize that it wasn't worth not being able to put that check mark next to #4 on the 5 to Thrive for that day.

Thankful Thursday ~ 10/11/18

~Have you heard of the #last90days Challenge going on at www.thechicsite.com and #madeformore on facebook?  If you haven't, check it out!  It has been an amazing encouragement to me the past 2 weeks.  I'm getting better sleep, working out more, drinking more water, eating less junk and have been more grateful every day.  I'm so glad I stumbled upon it :)

~I got new eye glasses!  Lately contacts have been bothering my eyes so I started wearing my glasses.  However, they were a couple years old and not an up-to-date prescription.  I made the call and got an appointment with my eye dr. and poof, here I sit with a pair of newer, trendier glasses :)

~The family and I went to see "Venom" at the theater on Saturday evening.  I was kinda just going along to spend time with the family and not very excited about the movie choice.  I was greatly and pleasantly surprised that I loved the movie!  It is a Marvel film and every Marvel film has a little piece at the end to keep you hanging.  Well, it did and I can't wait for the next movie!

~We came home Sunday after Church to NO WATER!  We thought we might have to purchase a new well pump which is very expensive.  I was feeling down and then my hubby came into the Family Room to tell me that they hit the pump gauge with a hammer and, voila, we had water again!  Dodged that bullet :)

~I picked out and bought my new planner for 2019!  I spent way too long in the stationary aisle trying to decide which planner to get.  My family just kept coming back to see if I was ready to go yet.  It took me at least 30 minutes to decide!  I am such a stationary geek :) 

What are you thankful for today?

#Last90Days ~ 5 to Thrive

Rachel Hollis has started a Challenge to live the #Last90day of 2018 as you do the first 30 days of the year when all those resolutions are fresh.  The Challenge starts today, October 1st and runs through December 31st.

I've given it much thought and finally decided to join in.

Rachel's "5 to Thrive" are:

Some of these are going to be very difficult, I'll admit it now!

1.  Get up an hour earlier ~ I already get up at 5:30am but then after I get the kids off to school I usually lay back down for a bit.  I'm going to strive to thrive at staying up and spending that extra time on the things I enjoy.

2.  Workout for at least 30 minutes ~ I've been doing pretty good at this already except for on the weekends.  I plan on trying to get those walks in Saturday and Sunday also.

3.  Drink half of your body weight in oz of water ~  WHAT???  lol  I'll probably be peeing my pants but other than my early morning caffeine, my plan is to only drink water.

4.  Give up one food category you know you shouldn't be eating ~  I'm already trying really hard not to snack on junk food.  That will be what I'll strive to give up.

5.  Write down 10 things you're grateful for every single day ~ This one should be easy as long as I take the time to do it.  I guess I'll mark that in for when my naptime would have been :)


I have an extra calendar that I'm going to use to keep a log of how I'm doing during the #Last90Days and blog an update each Monday.

How about you?  Are you going to join in the #Last90Days Challenge?
