One of my goals this week is to work on a Wayback Wednesday post for next Wednesday. I have a lot of "Wayback" stories to tell, and I think this blog serves as a sort of journal for my adventures in the past. I haven't even divulged some of the craziest times in my life or the best adventures!!!
This week, I had a goal to lose one pound, which I didn't achieve. I think this is because I lost four pounds last week. I haven't gained, and certainly last night after doing over 100 situps in TKD, I came home and my stomach felt a lot flatter. It certainly will never be flat like it was before Number One, Number Two, and Darling Daughter came along, but I wouldn't trade them for the flattest stomach in the world!
I haven't written this week. I've had too much going on. I plan to write some tomorrow, but my other big goal is to clean my bedroom and to clean the bathrooms (all four of them!). My bedroom is such a pit. I've had a problem keeping my bedroom clean since I was, um, born or at least since I was fifteen or so. I'd like to reorganize my life, and keeping the house clean is part of that. I also need to do a deep clean, dust, mop, etc. this weekend. It's on my short list. We'll see if I can get it done.
I've continued to love cooking in my crockpot. I made a Weight Watchers chicken and dumplings recipe, and it was pretty good. I enjoyed it, and the kids enjoyed it which is always a bonus. They are sometimes so hard to please when it comes to food. I want to make crispy salmon this week with noodles, but the coconut oil it called for cost $10 at the grocery store. $10 for something I'm going to use once, no thank you! I guess I can substitute a different type of oil, but will the recipe be as good? Anyone know?
My goals this week are:
- Lose 1 pound (I know, this is so creative! I bet you are so sick of reading this!)
- Clean Bathrooms and Bedroom
- Write or Edit my writing
- Continue to cook two meals a week
I hope you don't mind me stopping by. I have enjoyed reading your blog, and just wanted to say I think your weekly goals are excellent. I am in the bad habit of writing to do lists long enough to take a full year to accomplish. I get so down when I can not complete them all. I think having 3-5 goals each week would be a far more positive and healthy approach. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHey Taliah! Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad people actually read my blog and get something from it. I decided, when I was ready to make a change in my life, that I needed to go about it a different way and thus came the weekly goals. I feel like it helps me track it better, and it is so much easier to achieve them than to say: I need to lose 65 pounds in the next year. Looking at losing 1 lb vs. 65 is so much easier. It's funny how my goals have evolved and changed over the year too! Keep up the work. I'm sure you'll achieve your goals too!
