Can you believe the first month of the year is almost over? To say time is passing quickly would be an understatement. I have come to the full realization (but not acceptance) that time can quickly slip through your fingers if you don’t get a handle on it. For example, I had a goal of finishing a certain project by the end of the month. I can promise you that will not be happening. I’m resetting the goal for it to be finish come 2/6. That is still optimistic but nonetheless I need a goal, to feel the pressure. As I”m looking back over January I’m trying to figure out if anything should be sticking out at me. Slingshot turned 6 which kinda blew my mind. It means everyone is getting older. Outside of that there’s nothing that really sticks out to me. I feel like I was just getting pulled down life’s river, not in control of where I was going. I know I’m just rambling but I needed to ramble so there it is. I could write about school or exercising (or lack thereof), but today I chose to ramble with the conclusion that I need to pick a direction to go in life, not just hang on for the ride
Month: January 2011
A new Year
Okay so it’s already the 10th of January but hey life happens. So here’s what’s happening. December was a bad month exercise and food wise and the scale was the proof. I can climber back over 160 by the end of December and was very discouraged. However, Sparkpeople to the rescue. They started a 28 day bootcamp challenge and I joined in. I finished week one strong. I had a bad weekend for eating but am starting well today. I haven’t meet my goal weight for the first of the year but stumbles happen. At this point I would like to be 10 pounds lighter by 2/14. That’s reasonable if I can keep the sweets under control. Sweets are my major downfall. I just don’t know how to break that. So that’s where all that stands.
School next. We started back 2 days later than planned and at a very minimal pace. I knew we needed to start back to school but I just wasn’t as ready as I hoped to be. Today we are going full steam again and for the most part it’s going well. We are up to Ancient Rome in our Learning Adventures and I really think the kids will enjoy this unit (course they have enjoyed the previous 2 units so why should this one be any different). I’ll try and post what books we are reading. So far we have used Drive thru History: Rome if you want to, just to give us an intro to Rome. The kids really enjoy the Drive Thru History books.
That’s all for now. Have a good one.
