Day 195: Five Years of Fridays....

 
Underneath my bubble umbrella! :)
 "You do not have to move mountains today. Start with a small rock or two and repeat. Stay focused on the small stones and the mountain will take care of itself". ~ 21 Day Companion Workbook to Begin with Yes, Paul S. Boynton

I am on day 13 of Paul S. Boynton's  21 Day Companion Workbook to Begin with Yes. As you can probably tell by now, I am a big fan of workbooks, graphs, lists and journals.  In my humble opinion, the minutes of our lives tick by whether we are conscious, active, or doing nothing at all. I choose to do something!  But I can get so scattered. Keeping track keeps me on track and also allows me to review my progress.  I wish I had stuck to this my whole life! But now is a good time.

Speaking of graphs, I just reviewed five years of Fridays on my weightcommander site.  Granted, I was not always so disciplined (or ready to be faced with) my weight loss journey.  But I am pleased to announced that today I am 39 pounds lighter than I was about this same time in 2010! :) YAY!

I love weightcommander.  I am sure I've talked about this site before. But I signed up back in the early days of the internet. The man that runs it has had success with losing weight and keeping it off.  He sends daily emails of healthy snack ideas. And it is free!  Also, you can set a 30-day weight loss goal. My goal is 185 by Christmas! :)

If you are into it, you can view my five year graph of Fridays below:

Feeling very proud of my progress!  I have other goals which I can share at another time. But before I get sucked into the world wide web, I need to head out to the gym!

Happy Friday! :)

Year Three, Day 110: I Like Change, But How Do I Help the Suffering?

I woke up in a bit of a panic this morning. I had planned on getting to the track by 6:30 a.m., because I thought today was the first day of school. You see, the public is not allowed to use the track when school is in session. Understandably so. But alas, I overslept! I still headed out with my hoop, hoping it was before school hours at 7:30 a.m. And I breathed a sigh of relief. The school looked vacant. And only one solitary jogger with her solitary dog was present. I got busy in case the kids were due to arrive. Got a nice hoop workout in. No sign of children as I walked back to the house. So I did what I should have done in advance. I consulted Google. And most happy am I - North Clackamas School District does not start back to school until September 6th! Portland Public Schools start today. But the elementary school next door to the track lists "student hours" as 7:45 - 2:00 p.m. So I really am going to have to get an earlier start next week. I am aiming...

Year Two, Day 201: "I"

Before my first meeting with "I" I had a wonderful first date last night! We had a lot on common. The conversation flowed easily. We laughed. It was so lovely, that I think I shall not blog about him. Not yet anyway. I am just going to call him "I". I like I. 😉 Today was a long, wonderful family day. Went to church with my daughter and son-in-law. Very powerful, uplifting service. After that we went to the horse races. Had a blast. Broke even. Essentially had a free lunch and four hours of entertainment. After the horses, we had yet another Thanksgiving dinner at my niece's place. It was her first turkey. It was amazing! But thank God I had enough willpower to resist the pie! Tomorrow I go for my first physical therapy appointment. Tuesday it is back to the gym!! Happy Sunday!

Day 338: Unicorns in the Bible!

I am still working out the kinks in my daily routine. I am going to try practicing piano first today. I find I get so sidetracked that I don't get enough time in, and then I feel stress. I have quite a few performances coming up. Do not need stress!  So, my new daily plan will look something like this:  Wake up Pray Drink water and smoothie Piano practice Exercise Lunch Teach Read Bible and blog in between students Dinner Stretch Pray Bed My daughter and I food prepped last night. We made enough crockpot meals for our family of four for the next 2 to 3 weeks.  We put them in bags and tossed them in the freezer. We have turkey, veggie chili going on right now. Man, does the house smell good! My psalm of the day made me chuckle today. And got me curious about translations.  I read Psalm 29 in my King James Bible. Notice the appearance of the mythical unicorn in verse 6!   Psalm 29 1   Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty,  ...
