My Happiness Project has begun!
I have water by my side constantly and am feeling it in my legs! I'm not consciously walking more, but with all the extra prep work being done on the house, it's really adding up!
In bed by 10pm? I haven't quite completed that goal each day. The prep work is taking up so much of my days/nights. I hope to have this under control by the end of the week.
I'm excited though! Big things in 2011!!

It's unfolding...
Guess what?! My ex went for my idea. Yeah, who knew I had that kind of power of negotiation?! I should be a lawyer in my next lifetime.
I don't have much I can share. As this is a public blog I have to keep it to myself until all affected parties have been notified personally. But it is good stuff! And it is definitely lining up with my happiness project. I feel happier and more relaxed already. Considering how much I've been doing recently, 'relaxed' is an interesting term. But I'm more focused and I truly feel this is a great change.
YAY!!

Ramblings
Work has been hell this week. That is all on that.
I have continued to read "The Happiness Project" and I am now into her month of August. As I get further into the book, I have grown and tweaked my own project. I am modifying my goals and challenges and making it unique to me. I am also stealing some of the challenges from the book! I have many of the same issues as the author. We both have 2 young girls, work, run a household, aren't very religious, have a spouse and find it hard to make friends. I am taking some of her ideas to push me further, but also trying a different spin on others that may not have worked for her. I am very excited.
In 17 days it will be my and Mr. Penguin's 1st wedding anniversary! Yes, we did things all backwards...what can I say? We're those kind of people!! But I wouldn't have it any other way. I was thinking of going to the local nature spa for dips in the hot/cold pools and maybe a treatment or a steam train ride with dinner. But we'll see what Mr. Penguin has in mind. Whatever it is, I have baby Penguin at my parent's place for the night and Monkey is at her father's place. It is just me and my Penguin. Sounds perfect already.
*hugs*

The Happiness Project
I got my book from Amazon.ca today! The Happiness Project is something I will be starting on January 1st, 2011. I had purchased it last Saturday at Chapters, but having found it for HALF the cost on Amazon, I returned it and ordered a new one. I also bought 2 more copies of it and shipped them to my BFF and Mom (and Dad - but they'll share a copy) as they want to start it with me! I am so excited!!
If you haven't heard about it, check out the website here. I am slowly starting my lists and prep work involved. Just getting half way through the book has made me realize that I do a lot of things not because *I* like them, but because they are supposed to be things I'm supposed to like.
2011 is going to be a very hard year for me. I am about to challenge my comfort zones and push myself to take the leaps I've been avoiding (such as going to university or college, choosing a career I WANT, not just something I'm good at, and clearing my home of crap to make room for my family's memories and adventures). I will be continuing with my health goals from previous posts as well as adding more.
Want to join us on January 1st, 2011? We're located on Facebook here.

No more.

New Book
I started reading "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin today. Such an interesting read. It goes right along with my 101/1001 list, but on a grander scale.
I will be subscribing to the blog and modifying some of my 101/1001 list to reflect the tasks she completed that I want to complete in my own life.
I recommend.
*hugs*
ETA: I will be starting my own Happiness Project to be tied into my 101/1001 list. Some things I will change on my list, others I will incorporate into my life on top of my list. I am so excited for this journey! I will have more to share once I sort my thoughts.
