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 love a Winter White outfit for the holidays!🎄 T I love a Winter White outfit for the holidays!🎄

These fun, textured Vegan Leather pants have a raw hem that makes it easy to just cut them for your perfect length.

I paired with a crystal embellished short sleeve sweater that’s even prettier in person and will look great with jeans too.

Friendships are an important part of our lives, so Friendships are an important part of our lives, so what better way to celebrate than with a Girlfriend’s Friendsgiving on our girl’s trip to Nashville.💖

We enjoyed spending time together and while there we gifted each other with some of our personal favorite things and Julie Vos jewelry is one of mine.💖

I think everyone would agree that @julievos jewelry is the perfect gift for every woman and we thank her for helping to make our celebration sparkle.💖 

I’m now calling these our “friendship bracelets”.💖

Annie wasn’t able to open her gift with us that day as she had to depart early for the birth of her first grandchild, but you can see that she loves her new jewels too!

Thanks to @blessingandsass @mcfatherdesigns @romyraves @arebelinprada for your friendship and support!

Be sure to visit the Julie Vos website for your holiday gifting needs and make a wishlist for yourself too!

Don’t you just love when you can count on the cons Don’t you just love when you can count on the consistent quality of a brand?! #ad

That’s how I feel about @soft_surroundings because I’m able to get staple pieces for my wardrobe every season and know that I’ll be able to incorporate them into my outfits for years to come.

These are just a few examples of pieces that I have that I love because they boost my confidence when I wear them.

Visit their website to find your wardrobe staples as well as some fun new things for the holiday season.

BONUS: They carry misses, petites and women’s sizes.🥰

I was so excited when the Italian shoe brand Balle I was so excited when the Italian shoe brand BallereTTe reached out to me a few weeks ago because I knew I’d be in Italy in November and they have a retail store in Venice that I could personally visit.

The brand was born in Rome and is inspired by the style and comfort needs of women. You can see some of their ballet flats, Mary Janes, loafers and more in this video.

I tried on several pairs until I found the one that I knew will fit perfectly into my lifestyle. I also made note of a few styles that I will order in the future since they ship worldwide (quickly and for a small shipping fee).🎉

Fun fact - Each flat shoe is named after a district of the eternal city or a historically and culturally significant area. Because the story of @balleretteofficial is deeply rooted in the territory: handcrafted in Italy with leathers carefully selected in Italian factories.

Thank you BallereTTe for your hospitality, the excellent customer service and my new shoes! I love them!!💖
