Before I go on to my normal gifts and goals update, I had to share some pictures of the new things Amanda posted on Facebook this week. Oh.my.cuteness.

| These team slippers are soooo cute (even though I don't root for the Maple Leafs, haha!) They even sport no-slip grippies on the bottom! |
 |
| Batman slippers are equally as cute! |

| And these monster ones? Oh.my.goodness. I can just see Judah in a pair of these! |

I was contemplating my weekly goals this week. It is exciting to see how setting goals has helped me over the past several months! I set more goals each week than I used to, and often get most of them done! This was a week where I felt I got quite a bit accomplished, which I am so thankful for! I just love setting goals!
Last week's goals were...
Walk 3x - can I get a big whomp whomp? (I’m blaming the weather)
Spend 3 hrs on eBook - spent a whopping half hour on this
Lets see if I can get as much accomplished this week!
Start 2 more
Walk 3x (weather permitting, of course :)
Work out 4x - I’ve started doing some low impact workouts in the morning. Still working on making in a daily routine, so I’m making it a goal for this week! It is hard to get up and do it, but I always feel better when I do!
Spend 2 hours on eBook
Mending
Write 1 email to a friend
Continue to read “The Embrace of Grace” and “Mansfield Park”
Clean under bed - part of some fall cleaning I’m doing!
Go to Forest Glen Bible Camp teen retreat - as a counselor, of course!
How are you doing on your weekly goals? Have you been working on any special projects now that fall is in the air? Don't forget to enter the giveaway!
I'm totally behind you on the exercise thing. I'm having a hard time making it a routine, too. Sigh. Walking sounds nice, though. Too bad we didn't live closer to each other. I'd go walking with you. Especially in this weather! It's amazing outside.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Amanda! I normally do better about walking but we either had something going on last week or it was raining. :( I normally walk in the evening, but I will soon have to switch to the afternoon because it will be dark early! Maybe then I'll actually be able to get 'er done more times a week! Good luck to you!
DeleteHave you ever considered getting a Goodreads account (or maybe you have on and I don't know it!)? It's a great way to keep track of what you're reading, what you have read...and you can 'friend' other readers and see what they're reading too! I just somehow realized that you were reading Mansfield Park- how could I have missed that?! HUGE Jane Austen fan, though I have to admit that was not one of my favorites...I'll be interested in your thoughts once you finish!
ReplyDeleteNo, I never have! I hadn't heard very much about it...I should look into it! I have read "Mansfield Park" before, but oddly enough I couldn't remember how it ends, so I'm reading it again. :) Maybe I never finished it? Not sure! It certainly doesn't top "Emma"...that is my favorite. :) You can be sure I will post my thoughts on it at the end of the month!
Deleteha...I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that! There are certain books I KNOW I've read...but alas I can't seem to remember how they ended. I think I'll use the excuse 'I must not have finished it' from here on out ;)
DeleteLet me know if you get a Goodreads account! And I'll look forward to your thoughts on Mansfield Park.
