Start Small, Stay Focused

Get Happy Challenge, Day 1

Tip: Get into a routine... I've tried this before, but I will try, try again. I want to wake up at 6am everyday (except weekends). I have such a varying work schedule it's hard to stick to anything, but that's just an excuse. I can do it!! Can I get up at 6am everyday?? A friend mentioned conditioning my brain to jump up and brush my teeth at the sound of the alarm. To lay down in the middle of the day and set alarm, then jump up and brush teeth. Continuing to do this should make it easier to do in morning, with the thought that once you've done this you won't go back to bed. It's worth a try. I can do it! I can do it!

Goal: Run (walk) 3 times this week, starting today. My Nike run app will be watching me. Can you set it to beep at you to force you to run? LOL

Thought of the day:
Funny Cry for Help Ecard: I need emotional Viagra.


Ok and I am off to my first run. Good Luck with your day Mellie. Can't wait to hear all about it.
I love you just the way you are!!

*What is the Get Happy Challenge? It is a totally made up challenge between me and my best-ie, Melissa, to motivate each other to get and be happier mommies by Xmas. Each day we will try our darn-est to post a tip, goal and thought of the day, and each night we will post how our day was. We will share ideas and words of encouragement along the way as our Xmas gift to each other. Feel free to join our challenge. The more the merrier =HAPPIER!
