| So. I have been having a major problem with setting - no, with implementing - my goals. Several times now I've said, OK, that's it, I'm starting (going to be sore all the time, or lose weight, or whatever). It's not working. I may have been convinced that it would work because in the past I have been successful at sticking to a plan (remember the alphabet?). But now I'm having a really hard time with it. I thought about it a lot and I believe it's a combination of having a lot of stuff going on in my life, and trying to change too many things at once. So I came up with a new plan. An easier (at first) plan. I call it the boiling frog plan. Here it is.
There are 17 or 18 or so weeks until the rogaine in Estonia. So I made a list of 17 things I want to do, or to not do. (Like not eating sugar, and going to bed by 10, and exercising, or being a calm, fun and upbeat mother the ENTIRE day.) For this first week, each day I have to check off at least one of those things. It could be any of those things - a different one each day if I wanted. On the second week, I have to do at least 2 of the 17 things each day. By September, I would be doing all 17 things every day! But it's easy right now. Really easy. Deceptively easy. I can indulge a bit (a lot) but not feel at all guilty about it. And I should be able to stick to this plan at least until July!! Which is much longer than I've stuck to any other recent plan... |

| CSU sprint at Hammond Pond.
I don't know where my compasses are, so went out with a cheap compass we have for the kids to use. I found it discombobulating.
Isabel, David and Amisi did the beginner sprint. I was glad that they all came; they've not wanted to do orienteering lately, often. David started after the girls, caught up to them and passed them, which was extremely cool, since the last CSU sprint he did, he quit part way through and complained a lot before, during and after. |

| Strength 15:00 [1] | |
| |
| Shoveling dirt and lifting bags of gravel. I can feel it in my lower back, but I'm not incapacitated.
We put in a raised bed, and filled a bunch of containers, to grow food. The raised bed is in a relatively shady spot, so it will get perennial herbs and maybe some lettuce. The containers get the sun. |
