Optimistic Monday

August 27, 2012

Hi Everyone!
Thanks for joining me again to see how I’m doing with my weekly goals.  Let me know if you set goals for yourself and if so, is it on a daily or weekly basis?
Goals for last week:
1. Clean out my closet!
This was my number one goal since I did not accomplish it the previous week.
I started this massive project, but I have a LONG way to go.  I am a hoarder!  It’s time to get rid of the things that I don’t wear already and to stop hanging on to them for “later.”
2.  Walk 4 times
Yes!  I walked 4 times.  It would have been 5 but I had to take Saturday off because my hip was giving a bit of pain.
8/22/12 4.06 miles, 8/23/12 3.55 miles, 8/24/12 3.32 miles, 8/26/12 4.05 miles
3.  4 blog posts
I went a little bit crazy with blog posts this week…
4.  2-3 Youtube videos
Yes!  Posted just 2 videos for the week.  Don’t want to overwhelm everyone. 
5.  Make another new dessert
No desserts this week.  Everyone seems to be watching their snacking.
6.  Make a new recipe for dinner to conform to my son’s new low carb diet.
I made chicken fajitas in the crock pot.  Believe it or not, I’ve never made these before.

7.  Have a date night with my hubby.
This doesn’t happen nearly enough.  And it didn’t happen this week either.  LOL!  We did go out to dinner on both Friday and Saturday evenings, but the kids came with us.  We never mind having the kids go with us.  Soon enough they will be at college and we will have tons of date nights.


Goals for this week:
1.  Work some more on my blog.
I am finding several blogs that give some great tips.  I decided to add Sponsors to my blog.  If you have a blog or a business to promote please look at sponsorships available in my About Me section.
2.  Finally go and cancel my gym membership that I haven’t used in about 6 months.  
3.   Walk 4 times.  Maybe even add some running this week.
4.  Add 1-2 pilates sessions to my workouts.

5.  Work with my camera this week.
6.  Lunch with girlfriends.
It’s been way too long!  Now that everyone is finally back at school (as of today) I will have more time for friends and I am excited about this!

Have a great week!!

    I could use a good list of goals to get me going. I had a gym membership once… and I never used it either. I’m much more motivated to get outside and do something.

    Hope you have a nice week!

    I’m starting off the week with a goal of working out twice and getting some laundry done before the weekend. Don’t want to spend a holiday weekend inside doing laundry. 🙂

I enjoy dressing up a little for dinner when we’re I enjoy dressing up a little for dinner when we’re cruising. Do you do the same?

Both of my outfits in this video are extremely comfortable, wrinkle resistant, travel friendly and versatile.

Outfit 1: The Tillie Top and Lolly pants are 2 of my favorite pieces that I often pair together. They both come in solids and some beautiful prints as well as different fabrics.✨

Outfit 2: The Delphine Dress is perfection with its flattering fit. I love the Black and Red Grand Plaid print.

By adding a few accessories I make each outfit my own. Don’t you just love that about accessories?!💖

Dubrovnik, Croatia is a beautiful city filled with Dubrovnik, Croatia is a beautiful city filled with such interesting history. Here’s a small peek at our day here. 

We started with a walking tour of the old town, took a little glass bottom boat ride, had a scrumptious lunch and bought a few souvenirs. It was a great day all around!

Traveling sets my soul on fire. How about you?

Rain or shine, the excursions must go on! Unfortu Rain or shine, the excursions must go on!

Unfortunately, our tour of Corfu, Greece was a bust today because we had the rainiest day here. But the good news is that the sun is now shining and it should remain that way for the remainder of our cruise.☀️

My sweatshirt, packable jacket and rain hat are 3 of my best travel pieces and they all came in handy today. Let me know if you want the details.😉

And no day would be complete without a Greek Salad with delicious fresh Feta cheese. Yum!
