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. 🙂

The weather is playing tricks on us here in north The weather is playing tricks on us here in north Texas. It’s supposed to be Winter, but it feels more like spring so I get to wear all of these fun sweaters from @coldwatercreek without a jacket so everyone can see just how great they are. #ad 

They have a big Sweater Sale happening now with a nice variety of cozy styles and weights to wear now AND later. In fact, you’ll probably keep them as part of your wardrobe staples for years to come.

Do you have a favorite from these 3 that I shared?
A. Red Honeycomb Pullover
B. Arctic Fox Sweater
C. Nordic Mist Sweater Jacket
D. All of them!

Upgrade your New Year’s Eve with a fresh, fully as Upgrade your New Year’s Eve with a fresh, fully assembled charcuterie board from Boarderie.

You guys know my love for a charcuterie board from Boarderie, so I was so excited and overjoyed to see a Boarderie box on my porch.

It’s the perfect gift for a New Year’s Eve celebration (or any celebration)!

I love their fully arranged charcuterie boards because they’re filled with the most delicious artisan cheese selections, meats, chocolates and more. Yum!

They have different size boards available too. Everything comes  fully prepared and is shipped fresh, on ice, by overnight delivery. Just unpack it and enjoy!

Order one for your New Years Eve celebration! They’re perfect for celebrating at home or bringing to a gathering!

Visit their website now before they sell out and let them do the work for you!

I’m sharing a few wardrobe staples from Amazon tod I’m sharing a few wardrobe staples from Amazon today. They’re pieces you’ll wear over and over again. I love that the pants have a nice amount of stretch and that the sweaters are so soft.💖

At a petite 5’1”, both pairs are a good length to wear with low heels, flats or sneakers. If you’re tall, they will definitely be cropped. Best of both worlds!🙌🏻

Everything is available in multiple color options. You can visit my LTK for details and exact links.😎

Happy Monday! Don’t mind me, I’m just showing off Happy Monday! Don’t mind me, I’m just showing off my new booties for a minute. They were great for my monochromatic casual dinner date outfit. Let me know if you want the details.

I’m thrilled to be nearly done with my holiday shopping. Next up is stocking stuffers for 7 adults, 4 children and 3 dogs and then I can wrap, rest and enjoy the season.

What I find to be the hardest part is getting things that are at least a little bit unique that I haven’t done in the past and that actually fit into Christmas stockings.🤶

Do you have any good ideas for me?😉
