Maggie’s got her groove back.

So glad you are enjoying yoga and walking without numbers. There is nothing like a good walk outside in the warm sunshine. That’s all I’ve been doing the last 3 days as my shoulder was bothering me a bit. So, no yoga – just walking. We have some great trails near our house, and I love just wandering around the woods. Makes me happy.

Oh my gosh, that is my favorite ketchup ever – CD’s too. My only complaint is that it’s so hard to get out of the freaking jar. I love that’s its in glass and not plastic, but I wish it was squeezable!
That eggplant dish looks delicious – I love garlic.

Hope you’re having a good Sunday Maggie. Good luck with the cleaning/organizing. I need to do some of that today too.

I’ve been trying to have 3 large meals in the hopes that I’ll snack less, not just dinner. It seems to be working so far. But that may be because I’m really concentrating on it. In some ways I don’t think snacking is bad as long as you’re listening to your body and only eating when hungry. But…the body can really try to fool you with hunger-like cravings.

Congratulations Maggie. I’d say this challenge was a success!

My mom was asking me why I always am trying things like these challenges and I told her that I don’t ever want to stop “challenging” myself. EVER.

I like the recap of the challenge! You did really well and have gained a very straight to the point attitude about the things that still need improvement. I feel the same way. I know I improved on a lot of things, but I need to keep going. So the challenge does not end here for me! And as I started packing for my trip this morning, I also was going through my closet and pulling out a few things I don’t need too.
I also wanted to let you know, I finally started my blog! It will be mostly travel centered so I can write about my trip, but I know I”ll also talk about my other interests too, so check it out if you’d like! I listed the website, and hopefully I”ll figure out how to make it prettier soon.

Hey Maggie!
I so hear you about the Treadmill issue…I am doing the same exact thing with my lunch hour routine.

I actually like my OCD over this because it REALLY motivates me to keep going esp when I feel like my running goals are not happening fast enough…

GREAT GREAT WHOLE LIFE CHALLENGE and THANKS for the INSPIRATION…I think you’ve lit a lot of FIRES!

on to WEEK 3 (and my closet)

I totally know what you mean, by trying to “fill your self with veggies” when you are hungry. Because it is safe. Its scary to close your eyes and just bite the bullet

Job well done.

Great recap! I totally agree with you about the walking outside thing. often we get too focused on a certain number(s) when we need to focus on enjoying ourselves and bettering our bodies.
Thanks for this post!
