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. 🙂

Layering season has finally hit for most of us, so Layering season has finally hit for most of us, so I thought I’d share a few of my favorite toppers from the @cabiclothing Fall collection.

I will start by saying that the Keynote Trousers have become my go-to pants lately. They’re made of the most comfortable wrinkle free material. I had mine hemmed to fit my 5’2” height. I wear them with loafers, heels or sneakers.

The simple, but classic white Poetry Top is the perfect layering piece that every wardrobe needs.

But the real heroes are the fantastic toppers. I’m wearing the gorgeous Williams Jacket which is a mulberry color velvet blazer, the Coronation Cardigan in bright red (we all know that red is trending this season) and the Team Jacket which is a velour corduroy black bomber style jacket.

Which do you like best?💖

It’s easy to blur large pores and imperfections It’s easy to blur large pores and imperfections with this pressed setting powder that’s formulated with skincare ingredients.

Press it into your skin to set your makeup or use it on bare skin for no-makeup days. I like to use it in the t-zone. It’s lightweight with a matte finish. Can also be used as a blotting powder throughout the day. Available in 3 shades.

Comment Powder and I’ll send you more info to shop.

HaPpY WeEKeNd! My last post talked about meeting HaPpY WeEKeNd!

My last post talked about meeting friends from social media in real life. Well, today I’m going to meet a friend who I’ve known from YouTube and social media since about 2010. We’re talking way before Instagram was even born!

She’s visiting the US all the way from Paris and we’re meeting for coffee for the first time. 

And how cute is this little midi skirt outfit?! I bought it at Walmart while shopping for toys with my granddaughter yesterday. Happy to send a link if you want one.

I’m walking with a little extra pep in my step b I’m walking with a little extra pep in my step because next week I’m going to Las Vegas for a conference of midlife influencers.

How cool is that? I get to meet, hang out with and learn from some incredible and inspiring women whom I greatly admire. 

This conference was initially planned for 2020, but was postponed because the world was shut down. But it’s back now and I’m ready for it!!

I can’t wait to meet some of my long time IG friends and make some new ones.

Midlife women are amazing, relevant and beautiful! We have a lot to offer and teach the younger generations, including a lot of wisdom from the lessons we’ve learned from ALL of our experiences (both good and bad).

Two of my favorites are “Don’t sweat the small stuff” and “Don’t saw sawdust” that I’ve always remembered from reading Dale Carnegie books wayyy back when.

Do you have any quotes or lessons that have stuck with you?

I’m always on the go, so I find myself reaching for their versatile and comfortable pieces that can take me everywhere, including appointments, lunch and shopping.

My recent errand-running day included the Relax and Rewind Leggings with the #bestcotton High-Low Tunic. My accessories are the Bella Botanical Scarf and the Well Traveled Messenger Bag that held everything I needed for the day.

Leggings, jeans and tees are #MyColdwater fall wardrobe staples. What are yours? @coldwatercreek

Nothing beats an easy to wear outfit. You know, th Nothing beats an easy to wear outfit. You know, the ones you know you can count on that make you feel great.

That’s how I feel about a white button down shirt paired with a satin high waisted skirt. Cute with heels or tennis shoes. 

The skirt is so good that I ordered it in another color and it’s under $40.✨

Let me know if you want more info. 

Have a great Thursday! It will be a rainy day in Texas so I’ll be staying home and tidying up because I’m not ready to get my new car wet and dirty.😂😂
