100 Days Challenge - Day 44 - This is the Time!

“Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.“ – Carl Sandburg
“Monday is the key day of the week.“ – Proverb


I just noticed that my last blog post was exactly a month ago, on July 20.   It's time to get back  on track!   And what better way to do this than on a Monday, the beginning of a new week!

Day 44 of the 100 Day Challenge is asking us whether or not this is the right time to be on a weight loss program.   Sometimes life's events do overshadow our journey - and I would say that this is what affected the last couple weeks of my life.   We were on the verge of a major relocation with our family when a drastic turn of events forced us to place the move "on hold".   As a result, we had to change direction and make new plans.   There were also emotions to deal with - not only mine but other family members as well.   Time and patience will bring us together again as we work together to reset our goals and priorities.

My mantra for the coming weeks is to create more structure in my life as I'm now ready to move forward with a daily plan including healthy meals and regularly scheduled exercise.  I know too well that if I'm going to make my days productive, I will have to do it on my own. With that in mind,  this is my schedule of exercise for this week:

Monday - return to blogging, set up my weekly schedule

Tuesday -  morning walk and swimming  

Wednesday -   morning walk

Thursday - lap swimming

Friday - morning walk

Saturday - morning walk and lap swimming

My goal is at least five days of exercise varying from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours per day.  

I also plan to do a self-evaluation at the end of each week.
