Day 31 - Small Steps
I had a chance to go downhill skiing this weekend. I haven’t had a chance all season so I was thrilled to be out for the day. It was a beautiful day and the conditions were great. The really cool thing was that I skied all day and didn’t need to stop for a break. We stopped for lunch but that was because of being hungry, not tired. I also noticed that even though I hadn’t skied all season, my body wasn’t sore the next day. Hhmm, push ups and sit ups may be doing more than I think!
When I started out with this challenge, I wasn’t able to do more than 3 push ups and now I’m up to 24. It has been small steps every day and now I can see how those small steps are adding up. I don’t have abs of steel (yet!) but I have also noticed that my ability to lift and carry things has increased. What about you? Are you noticing how small steps can add up?
Joyfully,
Deb

Yes, I have noticed how small steps can add up.
My 100 day challenge is laughter - 15 sec at least,
a day. Even after a rather intense day here
between my husband and I, there is a softer energy
in the house. A gentleness that just wasn’t there
before. On days like that if I can’t laugh, I
insist on a 15 sec plus smile. Now, I am very
curious to see what changes I will notice by
day 100!

HI!
I have been doing morning push ups and it’s a great way to start the day. I feel STRONG! I have graduated to ‘big boy’ push up- can do 40 on a good day, but every day I do them- no matter how many- i feel good!
Love your 100 day challenge- FAB idea!
