It's been a busy couple of weeks and so I've decided to combine week 8 and week 9 updates. Sometimes life is just like that ~ This week's positive picture is the innocence this photo shows. It also just brings me joy when I look at it.
What have you done this week towards your goals?
What have you done to make yourself feel fabulous?
I've been traveling and have criss-crossed the state. I was on the west side of Missouri in Kansas City for awhile and was able to see my 14 year old niece perform in her school play. Later it was to the east side of Missouri to St. Louis. I was with a friend at an education conference.
St. Louis is the home of Baseball's 2011 World Series champions The Cardinals. We stopped and ate at a restaurant called Pujols which is one of the Cardinals well known players. A statue of Albert Pujols sits in front of the restaurant to greet the hungry customers.
How important is a social life to you? Are you a loner or a butterfly or somewhere in between?
Relative to others, I am closer at being somewhere in between a butterfly and a loner. I am more introverted than not and I need my alone time to refresh my energy. However, I have my circle of friends and among them I like to flit like a butterfly at times.
How do you balance life outside your home with healthy living?
Most of my friends are at an age when we all have to start paying attention to our health habits, so it is not so difficult to balance. My mantra is always...moderation..
What do you like to do for fun?
I enjoy going to the theater or seeing other live performance events. I also just like to gather with a few friends and hang out to visit. There never seems to be enough time to just sit and enjoy time together anymore.
What's the most positive thing you've taken away from this challenge?
This challenge helped motivate me to have a routine and be accountable to my goals.
It's the last week, the run to the finish. What is your priority?
My priority as this challenge finishes, is to continue with healthy habits over the holiday season. I hope to stay the course until after Christmas then set new goals for the new year.
Fun Stuff. Desert Island, you can take 1 person, 1 famous person and 3 items besides food and water. Who and what do you take?
To the Desert Island I would take a friend--and if I could trade the famous person for another friend I would. I would rather go with 2 people I know, than with someone famous. The three items I would take with me would be an air conditioner/fan; a yacht, and my computer with wireless Internet.
Next week is the Round up week.... what a fast 10 weeks!
What have you done this week towards your goals?
- Be accountable by participating in Challenge and Blog weekly - this past two weeks I haven't been posting or reading blogs much, but better late than never !
- Decrease weight by 10 pounds - I am still chipping away
- Pay attention to body signals. Eat when hungry-- I'm doing pretty good at being aware of whether or not I am hungry or not , the problem lies in my choosing to go ahead and eat when not hungry
- Exercise at least 4 times a week-- I've gone to the gym 3 times a week the last two weeks and I have done some exercising at home in the off days
- Sleep at least 7 hours a night - on average I am snoozing well
