For Today: Sunday, January 10, 2016
I am thinking... about how to meet all the goals I have for the year.
I am thankful... for growing strength and health.
From the Workshop... Got some WIP's (Works in Progress) I'm working to finish. Also made these flower coasters for this month's senior dance:
I am reading... Started a new reading challenge for the year. Read about it here. Off the shelf:
I'm also reading the Bible this year in the New Living Translation. I've always liked that version, but have never read it in it's entirety.

I am learning... Substitution rather than deprivation when it comes to food. Instead of focusing on what I can't have/don't need, I try to find a good substitute.
Favorite quote(s) of the week:
"My dad had taught me there are times in life when you just don't want to miss a good chance to shut up." - Dr. Phillip C. McGraw
"Don't live your life saying 'READY AIM AIM AIM'... Try something new to change your life, even if you might fail, TRY IT!" - Dave Ramsey
"He who thinks he leads, but has no followers, is only taking a walk." - John Maxwell
"Don't give the jerks a vote on how you live your life." - Jon Acuff
I am looking forward to... Finishing up unfinished business. I've got projects I started last year (which was only two weeks ago, BTW) that I want to complete before I start anything else.
One of my favorite things:
My coworker introduced me to what we call "bougie water." I'd never drank Perrier before, but was hooked with the first sip of a pink grapefruit flavored one. The lime flavored aren't too bad either. These will make a good substitute for when I want soda. It's not the sugar I want from a soda, but the fizzy bubbles. This beats 200 calories of nothing but sugar anytime.
A peek into my days:
01/01 - Rang in the first day of the year with a walk on the Weaver end of the Ladiga Trail. I hope my selfies get better over the next year. |
And now for something totally different...
Last year, I finished Anniston Runner's Club's Mile-a-Day challenge by the skin of my teeth. This year, I attempted the two-a-day challenge. Well, I started out strong, but bouts of depression and serious illness derailed my goals. HOWEVER, I am happy to say that I finished 2015 with 434 miles. No, I didn't meet my original goal, but I choke slammed my mileage from 2014. Here's to moving forward in 2016.
Workout of the Week: One thing I want to do this year is to incorporate new fun workouts into my routine so I'm not doing the same thing all the time (and so I don't turn into a boring curmudgeon). This week I'm going to try a Pound class. Now, I've tried a class before and liked it, but it was abbreviated and it wasn't at our YMCA, so I didn't get the full effect. There's one scheduled at a time when I'm not otherwise obligated, so I'll give a try.

Five Minute Friday Word of the Week: First
Scripture of the week: A fellow blogger suggested using Scripture Typer to memorize passages. This week's verse:
Proverbs 18:9 - He who is loose and slack in his work is brother to him who is a destroyer and he who does not use his endeavors to heal himself is brother to him who commits suicide. (Amplified)
