Hey, everyone!

The month of May 2009 has arrived! Were you ready for it?!
You know how this works!

It sounds like your knee will respond to some workouts - having those supporting muscles is probably what it is craving. It is really awesome that you have observed (and honor!) what works for you! My doc shared yesterday that he feels that it is not within human nature to be disciplined (we can be...it's just not natural, so we will backslide). (His message was along the same lines as what you have shared - that it's about the overall, not the day-to-day "measuring up." Hearing the same message from two trusted sources in one day: priceless! =)

I have been twice around the lake, but not at a very high speed (plus the ride from my house to the lake). With the weather getting hotter, biking is a great option!

Super trooper!

You are starting your month out with a BANG Miss BAM... keep it up! :)

Fitness/Health: Execute my daily habits to built routines.

Study: O. Chambers and the Word; Reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as entertainment/rest my mind.

Plan: Work my routines checklist. MITs for day: 1) Create new habit tracker / journal sheets for binder based on new format, 2) Text Nancy, 3) Errands (doctor, pet store, vet), 4) Call insurance agent with info. (Work in order of priority, stop when need to and defer to tomorrow if need be.)

Action: Trust. Be in the moment. Answer God's call.

It still feels strange to STOP tasking when I reach the end of my list (which doesn't usually happen anyway). It also feels strange to stop working to eat. So strange how I would (still can!) get lost in tasks and forget to eat and leave time to rest. I'm not finding time to study, but am looking for ways to optimize my habits and such to create more time. (Less FaceBook has been helping!)

Adding a goal to my week: Get up at 8:20am every day. That way I can see hubby before he heads to work and get a jump start on my meals and day. Naps are always an option!

[Grant R. Nieddu]

I like your new goal! SOME DAY, one half-hour at a time, you will be up in the morning with us at Gold's! (When my car is fixed...when I don't work at 9 a.m....on work out days...you know what I MEAN! JEEZE.)

[Christina]

LOL! You cracked me up with the "JEEZE", Grant. Keep it up...I want more laughter in my life!! And yes, we would love to go see movies like X-Men sometime and appreciate the invites...keep 'em comin'!

I woke up at 7am yesterday and 6:30am today...naturally! Go figure. I think it is my subconscious tuning into the goals that I am putting out there. AWESOME!

Fitness: CFit WOD in the AM.

Studied: Reading the Word.

Plan: Quiet Time, workout, work, reading and more studying this evening.

Action: To stay focused, productive, and moving in the direction God is leading.

Quote: "Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all." -Dale Carnegie

[Grant R. Nieddu]

So what did you do instead of the WOD?! Sorry about the car thing!

[Grant R. Nieddu]

FITNESS: Had to pass about the car thing. Missed today's workout. And tomorrow is a rest day, so I will use that to reset. With the car fixed to a decent degree, I should have some clarity of thoughts.

STUDY: Drucker.

PLAN: Planned on Sun/Mon. Just execute.

ACTION: Breakfast with Jeremy. Get car. Come home. Make necessary client calls (15 min.-ish.) Review where we are at with CPI. Write out several possible Volunteer Job Descriptions. Write my family. Write a CPI update.oo, oo. Wait. I need to do the whole 1 - 6 thingy. Good stuff. Way more intentional. 1. Make Client Calls. 2. Review CPI. 3. Write CPI Volunteer job descriptions. 4. Write a CPI update. 5. Write out Internet posting system/checklist. 6. Write family quarter update.

Suckas! Take THAT. BAM.

[Christina]

LOVE IT! 1-6 it, Grant! You are an intention machine!

(And glad your car is fixed to some degree!)

[Christina]

Fitness/Health: Execute my daily habits to built routines. Research simple raw food dishes to include in my routine. Bod wants more raw foodies!!

Study: O. Chambers and the Word; Reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as entertainment/rest my mind.

Plan: Work my routines checklist. MITs for day: 1) Get sun (15 mins), 2) Call insurance lady with MORE info (GEEZ!), 3) Call vet, 4) Print a week's worth of habit tracker sheets (love the new format!), 5) Organize binder and type instructions, 6) Meet with flooring guy for quote on porch work, 7) Attend church group meeting. (Work in order of priority, stop when need to and defer to tomorrow if need be.)

Action: Trust. Be in the moment. Answer God's call.

Whew!

Adding a goal to my week: Bedtime Routine - 1/2 hour of bedtime yoga while listening to stress reducing and sleep prep brainwave "music" (coolest stuff EVER). The goal is really to condition my body to go to bed naturally. Falling asleep is something I have struggled with forever. (Of course, the routine goes out the window if I am already zonked and ready to sleep!)
