WordGirl plays catch-up (but doesn't eat ketchup)

So it looks as though my past posts have zero views . . . which isn't a big problem for me. I usually blog for myself, not for an audience. But it's hard to encourage others in their efforts if I don't really know who's doing what. It was nice to see Ann and Louise yesterday. Lots of projects going on!

For Week 25 (June 18-24), I had item #7 "Stop eating after 7pm this week." Ironically, this is one I had been doing very well on for most of the past three years! But on this particular week in June . . . not so much! Late-night eating used to be a huge problem for me, but if I eat dinner around 6pm and then brush my teeth, I resist the urge to chow down later in the evening. Sometimes, though, we live on "lake time" even here at home and eat dinner later. So at least twice if not three times, I blew this one!

For Week 26 (June 25-July 1), I had #49 "Encourage someone who needs an extra bit o' loving this week, send a note, place a call, give a hug." Since we were up at the lake, I mostly focused on loving my husband! But I did send a few notes and cards. Since it's summertime, it feels good to get back in the habit of connecting with people more often. I love snail mail!

For this week (July 2-8), I'm going to blog right now and be done! I got #3 "Drink at least 1 more glass of water than you normally would this week." My goal (using my Fitbit app) is 64 ounces per day, but I almost *never* drink that much water. I'm definitely doing better this week than usual, but it's sad that I have to make such an effort to drink water instead of pop, coffee, etc. This one will be an ongoing goal for me!

There! I'm caught up now. Not that it probably matters to anyone but me . . . I'm a completion-oriented individual. "Finish what you start" is part of who I am.

  1. Completion-oriented is something that some of us need more of...you are amazing! I can relate to the water vs junk challenge. Either way, I don't drink enough---BUT NOW I HAVE MY FRIDGE FIXED SO hold yourself back folks!! I am trying to get back to going to sleep at a regular time so I can get up early, but it isn't working out. last night I was thwarted by a rum and coke because I bought the cheap stuff with caffeine in it and I forgot!@!
