One step at a time, one drop at a time.

I am pleased how the journey to empowerment has began.  I got showered and dressed today.  It was 3pm but I got it done.  I left the house today with a chore list.  I got all but two items accomplished.  But I added two more chores along the way.  So for me, in the stage I am at, it was a very successful day.

One of my added chores was getting the car gas.  That's right I got in the car, got on with all  my errands and never checked the gas gage.  By the time I did I was riding on the fumes and for how long I asked myself.
I guess my poor car is alot like me.  It runs great when it's gased up.  But if the gas is gone....well it's not going to run forever on those fumes.

I have been running.  I have been running on the fumes. That is why I am finding it so hard at time to even dress and face the day.  I have been sputtering for a little "gas". Maybe I have even run completely out.  This is a real lightbulb moment for me.  How to Gas up my personal tank again.  Starting this blog has definately provides a drop or two.  Now to go forward towards a much needed fill up. 

I am so happy to find I am not alone on my journey.  Today I took a single step.  Tomorrow one more.  But now I know I am not alone. 

I have not planned what path I am taking but yet I don't want to get lost along the way.  So I will be making a list to guide me through the next few days.

I also would love to share a challenge that was made of me. 

As I stated before one of my problem is health.....and my weight.  It has been suggested that water is one way to start the journey.  So for right now I am going to consider water the gas my body needs.

It is simple. But I do not drink water.  I probably didnt drink even a measureable glass of water today. Heck I brushed my teeth (another near miracle) but I spit that out.  I took my meds with diet coke and I didn't even make coffee to count that water today.   So as suggested by my friend T.G. I am going to drink more water today than I did yesterday.  That shouldn't be too hard on day one, but I am going to make this plan and to commit to it for the next 7 days.  So if you'd care to join me, get up right now and ice yourself a nice glass of water.  I am getting one right after I finish this diet coke. 

As always,
Trish

Challenge One:  Drink more water today, than I did yesterday
