I’m still working on the things I would like to improve for 2014. I have been removing clutter consistently for the past week, which makes me feel good. I just hope that I will be able to keep up the momentum once the dreaded “tax season” begins. This is the work schedule I have come up with after “researching” Pinterest. I decided to model mine from the time-warp-wife blog. I have modified it for what I think will work for me. After discussing my expectations with my husband and adult daughter, I am sure that this can be done. By the way, I am not a big list maker because in the past I would get very mad if my list never seemed to get done. I am hoping that I have matured since then and the lists will help in organizing our home.
Daily:
- Dishes
- Laundry – hopefully at least 2 loads a day.
- Make bed
- Tidy 10 minutes – 3X per day
- Shed junk for 10 minutes 1X per day
Monday: Clean Bathrooms/Dust
Tuesday: Clean Bedroom
Wednesday: Clean Kitchen
Thursday: Floors
Friday:Grocery shop/errands
Saturday: Work Outside
Sunday: Day of Rest
Since I have been making lists, I also came up with an exercise list. I do try to make exercising a priority since my job is very sedentary.
Monday: Weights (Abs, Back, Biceps, Chest) – 30 min/Cardio (run) – 30 minutes
Tuesday: Spin – I have made up a couple of routines for the times (which is most of the time) that I will not be able to go the pm spin class at the gym
Wednesday: Weights (Hams, Glutes, Quads, Shoulders, Triceps) – 30 min/Cardio (run) – 30 minutes
Thursday: Spin at the gym
Friday: Weights – 30 minutes/Cardio (run) – 30 minutes
Saturday – Spin/yoga.
Sunday – Relaxed exercise
Talking about exercise, I did read an article today in the Parade section of the newspaper about a 94 year old woman who still runs. One of her secret has to do with staying on her feet. She rarely sits down.
Simply standing up more is the best thing sedentary people can do to start becoming healthier, maintains Joan Vernikos Ph.D., the former director of Life Sciences for NASA and the author of the book “Sitting Kills”. The painless act of rising from your chair pumps blood from the feet to the head, and tunes the vestibular system, which helps maintain blood pressure and keeps you steady on your feet. Even a regular morning jog can’t compensate for being inert the other 23 hours of the day, research show.
Wow!!! I am going to have to make a effort to get up and move more when I am at the office.
One of the things I attempted to organize this weekend was pictures. They are all over the place in my computer. I have quite a long way to go in getting them all organized. I did come across this picture I wanted to share. It is a picture I took last year when I went camping at Lake Livingston in January 2013. I went ahead and processed it a little using Adobe Photoshop Essential 11. I really liked the end result.
