Optimistic Monday

January 14, 2013

Happy Monday Everyone!

I must start by warning you that I didn’t quite get to my goals this past week.  I got sidetracked by the rainy weather and family life, which made me alter my goals just a bit.  That’s okay.  I’ll focus better this week on my goals because I really like to check things off my lists.

My goals for last week:

1.  Bake the Cherry Almond Biscotti recipe that I found on Pinterest.
I didn’t bake at all this week.  That’s sort of good because I didn’t exercise enough to be eating cookies and biscotti.

2.  Walk 4 times this week.
I only “officially” walked twice this week.  We had 48 hours of straight rain here.  Once the rain was done I had 2 days of sitting at National Cheer competition.
1/7/13 4.17 miles, 1/9/13 3.02 miles
cheer competition
It’s finally over!  They did great!
3.  Make the returns to stores that need to be done.
I didn’t get back to Nordstrom this week.  It’s a little bit far and with the bad weather and all I never made it.  It will be added to next week’s tasks.
4.  Read.
I read just a bit this week (mostly magazines).  I’ve just been so busy in my mind these past few months that reading has been so difficult to sit and focus on.  I’m sure it will happen soon enough.
5.  Mail out a few packages.
Yes, I mailed out all sorts of packages this week.  I love that feeling!
6.  Work on my blog.
Yes, I worked on my blog a whole bunch this week.  Actually, I worked on BOTH of my blogs.  If you haven’t already visited what I call my project blog, then go take a look.  I have a NEW blog button in the sidebar of this blog.  Please feel free to “grab it” and share it with your friends.

Give a Smile Today
The code for this button is in my sidebar on the lower right.
Go “grab it” now!
My goals for this week:

1.  Walk 3 times this week.

2.  Start working on my daughter’s senior scrapbook.
 I’m supposed to present this to her in May at a school function.  It would be nice to get this started now so that I’m not doing the whole thing at once the week before it’s due.

3.  Bake something with the dried cherries and almonds that I purchased last week.

4.  Work on blog improvements. 
I’m currently reading Blog, Inc since I saw so many people recommending it.

5.  Continue to purge from my closet.
I have clothes that I keep saying I’m going to wear it someday and that hasn’t come so I’m about to face it and just get rid of it.  I’m certain that there are people out there that could use some new things.

6.  Get those returns made to the stores.

What are you doing this week?

Link up below if you want to share your goals or a positive post.
I’d love to have you!

    This is so neat, Stacie! I need to start making weekly goals in order to hold myself accountable. I let too many things slip through the cracks that should have been done weeks ago b/c I don’t have some type of system in place! This would definitely be helpful. Thanks for the neat idea and the book recommendation (Blog, Inc.), I think I’ll check it out as well!

    I’m co-hosting “Tell me about it Tuesday” and found you through your link!

Just a few of the gems I picked up from the Nordst Just a few of the gems I picked up from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 💛 

After trying on a dozen dresses, these two made the cut (I’m 5’1” and 60 years old) as well as this gorgeous new bag that I couldn’t resist. Classic, versatile, and a little fun—just how I like it!

✨ Which look is your favorite? Tell me in the comments and let me know if you’re shopping the sale too!

Bonus, both dresses are under $100 and I know I’ll wear them for a long time to come. Let me know if you want the links.💖

At 60 years old, I’m walking with intention — At 60 years old, I’m walking with intention — and a weighted vest. Adding this simple tool to my daily walk is already making a difference in how I feel, move, and show up for myself.

Here’s why women over 50 might want to give it a try:
1️⃣ Supports Bone Health: Extra weight = gentle resistance = stronger bones = less chance of fractures in the future.
2️⃣ Improves Muscle Tone & Posture: Great for balance and core strength.
3️⃣ Burns More Calories: A simple walk becomes a low-impact strength workout.
P.S. It’s great for men & women of all ages!💪🏼

It’s never too late to level up your wellness routine. And you can get the benefits while doing your house chores, going up and down stairs, gardening, etc. for even more opportunities to improve bone density.

Do you walk with a weighted vest too? I’d love to hear how it’s helped you!

Comment LINK for more information on this particular vest and why I purchased it after a lot of research.💗 (be sure to follow to receive my message with the link).⚠️

I couldn’t resist this audio! It’s been in my I couldn’t resist this audio! It’s been in my back pocket for a while just waiting for the right moment to use it.😂😂

We all want what we don’t have… I’ve always wanted straight thin hair, but my genetics decided that wasn’t in the cards.

Anyway, this root touch up powder is my new best friend for covering my grays roots between salon touch ups (which happen more frequently these days).😅

It’s a clean beauty formula too! Let me know if you want a link to purchase it for yourself. It’s available in 5 different shades. I’m using the medium brown.

By the way, I turned 60 years old a few months ago and love sharing beauty, fashion, life stuff and my travels. If that sounds like something you’re interested in, then follow my account and let’s be midlife friends. It’s harder to find friends at this stage in our lives and this platform is where I’ve found some of my besties.💗💗
