Optimistic Monday

August 13, 2012

Goals from last week:
1.  Walk 4 times this week.
I had a strange walking week…  Monday and Tuesday I watched my son at his golf tournament.  Monday I was able to watch 11 holes and Tuesday I watched all 18 holes.  It was  over 105 degrees each day.  So after all of that walking I needed a few days to recover.  The heat takes it out of me for sure.  And I was dumb and wore new shoes the second day that gave me blisters!  I did get back to my routine by Saturday.
8/6/12 3.5 miles, 8/7/12 5.44 miles, 8/11/12 3.22 miles
2.  Bake something new and from scratch.
I did not meet this goal. Instead I observed my daughter making these fun Cherry Pie Pops that she found on Pinterest.  Directions to follow in another post…

3.  Cook dinner 2-3 times.

I actually cooked three times this week!  Miracles do happen.
4.  Minimum of 3 blog post this week.
This was not a problem.  I seem to have a lot to say lately.
5.  Minimum of filming 2 Youtube videos this week.
This was not a problem either.  Keep the requests for videos coming!  Please take some time and visit my YouTube channel when you get some time.  While you are there please subscribe!
6.  Learn something new about the functions of my new camera that should arrive any day now.
My new camera arrived on Thursday.  I played with it and learned a little bit.  By Saturday I was able to catch some of my first action shots while the family played in the pool.  I have always wanted to catch people in the air and the splashes of water…  I have not learned how to edit yet.  I think that skill will come later.
(be sure to click on the pictures for a larger view)

7.  Take some extra time this week to appreciate the people in my life.
Of course I did this.  I am Blessed!
Goals for this week:
1.Walk 4 times.
2.  Bake a new recipe for dessert.
3.  Make a new dish for dinner rather than the old standbys.
4.  Take more pictures after hopefully learning new camera skills.
5.  Organize my blog schedule on paper so that I can keep up with it better.
6.  Begin to clean out my closet (once again).  I think the goal for this week will be to go though my shoes and donate what I don’t wear.

Did you set any goals?
Have a GREAT week!

    Love these photos you took! So much fun! My goal this week is to exercise more than one time like I did last week. So far I’ve already worked out last night so I need to do it at least one to two more times this week. Slowly getting back into the swing of things after vacation. 🙂

    LOVE your goals 🙂 I make some every Monday too! I’m trying to track all my Weight Watchers points, get up early every morning and write letters to friends and family for a few of my goals this week!

    Hope you’re having a fantastic week!

    Those cherry pie pops look awesome! I don’t usually set weekly goals for myself because I know just feel like a failure when I don’t meet them. But your post has me feeling inspired. Maybe I’ll just start with one a week, considering we just welcomed a new baby! Visiting from Sharefest – Happy Saturday!

Here’s another one-and-done outfit idea for you. Here’s another one-and-done outfit idea for you.💗

Let me know if you want the outfit LINKS sent straight to your messages.🤩

It’s a fabulous strapless lightweight jumpsuit! Just change out your accessories and shoes, maybe add a topper and you’ll be ready for anything.💫

Where would you wear this jumpsuit?💖

This jumpsuit is a cropped length on most, but at a petite 5’1” it is longer on me. It’s great because it accommodates a variety of body types, but I may get it hemmed. Still deciding.🤔

The dog days of summer call for linen, and this pr The dog days of summer call for linen, and this pretty striped shirtdress fits the bill.☀️

It’s from a brand called The Shirt by Rochelle Behrens. She uses a patented No Gape® button technology in all of her designs so there’s no gaping at the chest. So now we can all feel confident instead of self conscious.💖

She also has some other dresses and beautiful tops, all with the same button technology.💫
