Fire Up for Fall! Week 4
Whew! So glad to be feeling better! Well, the last two weeks may not have been very productive, but here’s hoping this week is better. =)
What have you done this week to achieve your goals?
1. Practice piano at least 1 hour a week: I’ll be getting back into the swing of this starting today. I substitute for the church organist this Sunday. They’ve thrown me a couple of loops with the choir music, but I should be fine.
2. Complete the 30 Day Shred, rotating 5lb and 3lb weights for each “circuit” with no breaks: I’ll also try to start this up today. I’ve also started walking on the treadmill with my husband at the apartment gym while he runs. It seems like it will work the best on the treadmills because it’s still dark outside, and I really shouldn’t run until my heart gets used to cardio. Walking gets me up to the cardio zone, so I’ll stick with that for now when we’re working out together.
3. Read at least one book a week: Well, I just started a second book. I think I’m not going to make this goal, but I’m going to continue reading as much as possible. =)
4. Write a blog post on each book read: Still haven’t done the first one. >_< It’s on the to-do list! I swear!
5. Focus on eating WELL, not LESS: Going better, though we have a ton of junk food leftover from last weekend’s Dungeons and Dragons session. So…this week might not be so good.
What have you done to make yourself feel fabulous?
Just getting up and working out has been a biggie. Right now just being WELL is making me feel pretty fabulous. =)
What is your go to food or activity when you’ve had a bad day?
My go-to food is usually take-out Chinese. It’s warm, it’s usually spicy, and it just feels right. If not that, then mac & cheese for sure. =)
What’s the last thing you did that you were really proud of?
Hmmm…I’d have to say I’m proud of myself for agreeing to do the organist substitute thing. It’s been a long time since I’ve provided the music for church services, and this is the largest church I’ve played for. It should be fun!
Fun Time: What was your favorite school subject, and your least favorite? Why?
My favorite school subjects were easily Anything Lit. American Lit, Brit Lit, I loved it all. I loved (and still love) reading. My least favorite was definitely math. I could do it (went through pre-cal/trig in high school), but it just felt like a waste of time to me. The interest wasn’t there.
Positive Picture of the Week:
A while back, the Disney Movie Rewards program had Beauty and the Beast lithographs available. I redeemed points for them immediately, and I finally framed them. I’m trying to decide where they should go. I’m really excited!
