Lucy joined us on September 11, 2020 & has quickly become social vs the "cat that hides" she was.
Katie graced my life for 15 years. She left for kitty heaven on July 11, 2020.

My 2020 *SPARK* Plan
Part 1 - My 2020 Word of the Year is NO.
My 2019 word of the year was "self-care." If I were scoring me, I'd give myself a B-. One thing that did become apparent is that I hardly ever say no to anyone or anything. It's what has me overextending, putting me at the bottom of my list, & causes anger or resentment. So this year the word is NO.

Part 1 - My 2020 Word of the Year is NO.

It's what has me overextending, putting me at the bottom of my list, & causes anger or resentment. So this year the word is NO.
“We must say "no" to what, in our heart, we don't want. We must say "no" to doing things out of obligation, thereby cheating those important to us of the purest expression of our love. We must say "no" to treating ourselves, our health, our needs as not as important as someone else's. We must say “no.” -- Suzette R. Hinton
*******************************
For the 2020 Fall 5% Challenge, my plan is a simple one. I need to focus on one thing because it feels like my brain has turned to mush in this pandemic. When weighing in on the first day of this challenge, I accepted that I have gained a few+ lbs. My goal is to lose what I've gained. It's about 3% increase.
Daily:
1. Quiet time daily.
2. Keep carbs at or below SP recommendation.
3. Keep fats at or below SP recommendation.
4. Track nutrition daily.
5. Plan meals for the day.
Schedule will be adjusted for each week’s LTGL.
