Week 3 check in

Here we are. Week 3. 21 days since January 1st. Things seem like they’ve flown by. So how are you doing with your resolutions/goals? Still keeping up? We’re almost there, so keep going strong!

For me, the Whole30 has been exactly what I needed. I’ve got only 9 days left, and it’s made so many changes. On the scale, I’m down 4.6 pounds since last Monday, and down 16.2 pounds for the month so far. My goal was 2 pounds a week, so according to my goal, I should be down 6 pounds. This weekend was the biggest challenge for me, which I met with flying colors. I went to my mom’s Friday afternoon and came back Saturday. Traveling is usually the time where I want to be snacking. So I took along diet friendly snacks, and made it just fine. Once I got to my mom’s I got some steak and potatoes, and made my dinner, breakfast and lunch on Saturday. And it was great! The off the scale things have been so much more. I have so much more energy throughout the day. My clothes fit better. I’ve had to tighten my belt....as well as regularly wear a belt! I’m excited to get up in the mornings. I’ve had many people come up to me and say that I’m looking good. Overall, this journey has been off to a huge start. And that’s been my priority for this year. When we’re talking about minimalism, the primary focus many go to is stuff. And that’s important. But if you’re not taking care of you, you won’t have the mental or physical energy to deal with the stuff, and most importantly, you may not be around to deal with the stuff.

For the physical stuff, this week I didn’t really get much done in the garage. This week was messed up. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on Monday, followed by no school Tuesday and Wednesday, along with ice and cold. I did get a good bit done in the garage on Monday, and got my bags of pine needles out of the garage on Friday. So it’s looking much better, but there’s still more work to do. Which I’ll get to this afternoon. But we were able to get things done inside the house while we were stuck inside for a little while. It’s all about progress and making baby steps.

Keep up work on your goals! We’re almost there! Comment with how you’re doing!
