3 in 30- Week 3

3in30 Challenge

Week 3 went well, though there are some areas I wish I could have made more progress in.  That's okay, there's always next week.

Smoking-  AWESOME!  I have not had a cigarette since New Year's Eve, and this is going well.  I really don't have a problem in this area at all, except around other smokers.  I even had an opportunity to say no and walk away this week.  Like I've said before, it sucks to not hang out with certain friends but this has to be about me. Daniel is doing great, too.  He is using the nicotine patch, but he is happy and pleasant to be around.  I'm really hoping this is it for both of us!

Boxes- Well, I'm pretty much stalled in this area.  I got one box done, but I've been lazy about getting to the other one.  School break times really offer a lot more time to get things done.  I should have just tackled the boxes over winter break and had it done.  By the time I get home from work now I don't want to do anything, and the weekends are jam packed with other activities.  I'm going to keep this on my goal list, but I have a feeling this may not get done until Spring Break in March.

Exercise bike-  See the boxes above.  This is really hard, and to add to the work and weekend reasoning my Fibromyalgia is beating me up.  Week 2 was super difficult because of the routine of working after a three week break.  Week 3 was difficult because my body needs more time to recover than it used to.  Grrr....  I'm thinking the exercise bike was a great idea when that was the only activity I was getting but walking around in my classroom all day seems to be all I can handle right now.

Great job with the smoking! That has to be the hardest challenge. As to the boxes and the exercise bike... these aren't going anywhere and will wait patiently for you. Maybe once you've been off cigarettes for a bit you'll feel more energized and get around to the others?

Thanks Sherri!

Harvest Moon, I REALLY need to dig out my pedometer and find out how many steps I'm taking in a day. I bet I would surprise myself. You are right, it is a lot of activity.
