Optimistic Monday

September 9, 2012

Hi Everyone!
I am back with my Optimistic Monday goals for the week & results for last week.  Let’s see how I did…
Goals for last week:
1.  Walk 4-5 times.

I made sure to get in lots of walking last week since this week will be challenging due to appointments, homecoming and my first blog conference.
9/3/12 4.06 miles, 9/4/12 4.16 miles, 9/6/12 3.07 miles, 9/8/12 3.14 miles, 9/9/12 3.15 miles

2.  Lunch with girlfriends.
I had lunch with my daughter.  Does that count?
I had breakfast with a friend twice this week after we walked.  Lunch is hard to squeeze in right now since I pick my son up from school at 1:10 most days for golf practice.  He will be driving in a few weeks so I am enjoying this time while I can.
3.  Get in a pilates workout.
Not really…  I did just a few basic moves after my walks here and there but never accomplished a full class.  I am pathetic!
4. 4-5 blog posts and 2-3 YouTube videos.
Yes, I have been faithful to both my blog and  my YouTube channel this week.
5.  Cook a new dish for dinner this week from a Pinterest recipe.
Cooking at home was not an event that happened at my house this week.  Everyone is way too busy to stick around for a meal, let alone a meal together.
6.  Order cards for handing out at blog conference.
I ordered some adorable pink damask print cards from the Zazzle website.  Let me tell you, they have such cute stuff that I had a very hard time deciding which design to choose.  I can’t wait to receive these in the mail this week.

Goals for this week:
I am not going to set too many personal goals for this week since I will be busy getting ready for my first blog conference and homecoming at my daughter’s school.  She is a cheerleader and the cheer mom’s have to help prepare the gym for the pep rally.  Since my daughter is a senior this year I am planning to help out even more than the required one night from the past.

1.  Keep up with my blog by posting at least 3 times.
2.  Post at least 2 Youtube videos.
3.  Figure out how to reply to comments on my blog.
4.  Spend more time replying to comments on my Youtube videos.
5.  Get in at least 2 walks this week.
6.  Mail out at least 5 cards/gift cards to my chemo angel patients.

Have a great week everyone!!!
I can’t wait to report back after my first blog conference on Saturday.  So excited!!

    The chemo angels program sounds amazing! My mom just finished chemo and radiation for breast cancer, and I know that she would have loved to receive a card froma stranger during that time. Little things do make such a big difference!

I went into nearly every designer store but nothing really called my name until the very last store I entered (after having to wait in line for about 10 minutes).

I scored at the Prada store (x2) so I’d say I met my goal for the day.😅
