Oh my! That's like New Year's Resolutions and I am horrible about keeping those.
I SHOULD ....
Give up cookies
Quit smoking
Walk for 30 minutes every day
Catch up on my ironing
Ride my horse
and any one of a number of things...
Let me think about it and get back with you.
xoxoxo

Ride your horse would be number one on my list!!

Dianie - As soon as I finish mowing, RIO and I are headed for a little workout in the round pen and then around the farm!

I would be riding today if I had a sound horse. My horse has been on R&R all summer. I will think of something and get back to you. But mine would be to do less of something I am doing. Right now I'm off to look for a new refrigerator. Mine died.

Haha. See, it really could be something you love to do but don't always make time for it. That is why I chose working out. Working out is like riding horses is to you guys. If you ride horses, you are doing something for yourself. What's wrong with that? Maybe that's what you should look for is a way to pamper yourself everyday!!!!!! Be creative!

In fact, maybe that is a 30-day challenge we all should do. Find a way to pamper yourself everyday for 30 days. I'll bet we would all come away from it feeling better about ourselves!! Only thing is, you should keep a calendar of what you have done for yourself everyday so you aren't tempted to skip a day!

Pampering ourselves everyday sounds like a great plan!! And I certainly would be riding if I had a horse!!

I;m up for a challenge ... being good to myself I will find somethhing positive about me everyday for the next 30 days. Have the afternoon off of work so I am going to go for a horseback ride it is a little chilly but not to many nice weather day left to do this.

Oh I am in on this one - just what to do. I think I should also do workout every day - but also like the pamper myself everyday too. Hmm have to decide - maybe I'll do both. What a GREAT idea!!
Anything to help me out of my sadness over my divorce will be good!

Maybe I will have to add eat ONLY one cookie a day - hah!

I love it!

I will walk my dear dog, Zeus everyday. Poor thing gets lost in the shuffle of everyday busyness. It is more of a treat than a chore because it is so darn beautiful here. It is a peaceful time, so I will make an effort to fill my mind with good things and take in the scenery when we walk.

I am excited!

My personal challenge for Sept has been to re-roof my house and finish my white picket fence. I spent 3 days last week and finished my roof now its the picket fence. I think I'm going to make it...lol...I am breaking eggs with a stick right now. WoooHooo...Big Hugs...Kathy

Wow Kathy,
That is far more ambitious than I ever could handle. Roofs, fences. I think I will stick to working out!

peekapoo, that's no fun!!

drtexdi: I did this last summer. I wound up doing Yoga 6 days a week and working out 7 days a week because my daughter and I are gym partners and neither one of us were working last summer. Some days, I'd meet up with my daughter-in-law and do Zumba on top of everything else. I'd work out twice a day besides my long sessions of Yoga. If another daughter of mine wasn't so busy (I have four daughters and a son), I would have gone with her every day too because she's very athletic. As it was, she met up with her sister and me or my daughter-in-law and me only a few times a week but as often as she could. Kids keep us so young. Sometimes my husband met up with us but not often because he was working. So I went with him to Yoga and to work out at the gym on the weekends and we'd walk our dogs for forty five minutes every night. When we were on vacation, we were either hiking or wave running (not a lot of exercise in that) but when we hiked we'd get in from 4 to 7 miles a day.

I have to say this about exercise. It sure makes you happy. Since I got back to work, I had to cut my exercise to just an hour a day. That must be enough because I'm still happy, and....very addicted to it. Even during parent/teacher conferences when I'd be working twelve hour days, I have to stop at the gym on my way home. I can't NOT exercise anymore.

This is a very constructive goal. You'll see the difference, not just in how you feel physically but your emotional high is going to get pretty steady and high all of the time. A side benefit is that I lost almost ten pounds even though I was never overweight in the first place. It surprised me.

I started a gratitude journal way back when also. That does wonders too.

What a great idea that you have. I would encourage anyone to do this. I think everyone should. Maybe we should start a new group for support. :-)
