Joining the Sisterhood

It always stands to reason that if you don't try, you will never succeed. That's pretty much a no brainer, and yet, I constantly need that reminder because apparently I don't get the hint on my own. I guess I just assume that if I want something hard enough, it'll happen, like magic. I keep forgetting that you actually have to work for it too, or nothing will actually happen, like reality.

Case in Point: As I have mentioned, I have joined a challenge and I intend to follow it. I also intend on using the monthly calendar they have ( posted below). Well, the problem comes into play when I realize that I work 3rd shift. I got home yesterday morning, ate breakfast, crashed out for several hours, ate lunch, shopped with the kids, ate dinner, crashed again, got ready for work and forgot to follow the dang calendar. It's not even that hard, or that time consuming! I just didn't make the time. How weak is that? 



I'll tell you what I did do though... I did it at work when I got here, since technically it was still 1/1/14 for one more hour. I did it in the bathroom... shhh... don't tell. Tomorrow though, I will try harder to do it at home, and fit more exercise in somewhere. 3rd shift is hard to work around though... It's something I'm going to have to figure out.

    1. It seems like 3rd shift steals time right out from underneath you! You think you have time, you work 8 hours like regular people, you sleep 6 to 8 hours, interact with your family, and then BOOM! Day is gone, nothing got done at all, so you sacrifice sleep or family to run errands or exercise. .. its a never ending cycle it seems like. But im workimg on it, and trying to find my groove. Thanks Kim!

    1. Your blog is quite inspiring lady! I look forward to reading more from you. And yes, Bed calls my name more often than not, before I can get anything accomplished.
