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!

I’ve been loving the Nakery Beauty Collagen Cushion Pressed Serum — an all-in-one multitasker that makes my routine so simple.💖 #ad

It’s a brand new skincare product and it’s getting all the rave reviews for a good reason!

💎 It has powerhouse ingredients including 15 actives:

• Buah Merah Oil → antioxidant-rich nourishment + protection
• Granactive Retinoid → smooths texture & softens fine lines
• Matrixyl 3000 → peptides that support collagen + firmness
• Feminage → helps skin look more resilient + youthful
• Idealift → targets skin sagging for a lifted appearance
• Plus more hydrating + brightening ingredients for that radiant glow✨

🌟 Why it’s a must-have:

This WATERLESS cushion serum hydrates, firms, smooths, and lifts in one step — no endless layering required. Just press it in and glow.

It’s especially effective for women in the menopausal years who want plumping, firming, hydration, cell turnover and more.

👉 Ready to simplify your skincare routine without sacrificing results?💕

Apparently, a lot because not only am I obsessed with my makeup and skincare, but I’m also obsessed with jewelry and clothes and shoes and books and flowers and travel and my grand babies and my hubby, etc.😅😅
