Sweeping Through Life

A few weeks ago, I blogged soem new years questions. Aarika from The Peach Post asked if I would review how I did with my 2010 goals. Here it goes........ Blog at least 3x per week ---I think I did pretty good about this. I know that every week I did not blog 3x, but I at least did 2. I am going to continue to set this goal for myself. Build a closer relationship with God --I like many others are still working on this. I wanted to read the Bible in a year last year and I did not accomplish that, but I have started that goal this year and it is going pretty good so far. This goal is always going to be a goal in my life, since I will always want a relationship with God and like any relationship there is always room for improvment. Complete some home improvement projects -- Well, we painted this past summer. We wanted to start remodeling our downstairs bathroom, but did not get to it. We are planning on trying to get this goal completed before this summer. Keep my clo...

I talked about a few months ago about how I was in the Biggest Loser competition at work. Last week was our final weigh-in and we found out the results yesterday. I was not the Biggest Loser winner, but I was in the Top 10. Yeah!! I ended up losing 11 pounds, over the 12 week period. I just watched what I ate to lose the weight. I was walking when the session started, but between the arthritis in my knees and hot, hot weather, I have not been doing a lot of that lately.  I did not totally reach my goal,but I am proud of what I accomplished and being in the Top 10.  We are starting a new session in 2 weeks and I am planning on setting another goal of 20 pounds before November. Before the next session, starts I am going to get my plan together to accomplish my new goal. At this point, for me I would be happy with any weight loss, because I just want to be healthy. Do you have any weight-loss goals? Have a good weekend.

We are three months in  on my "Things To Do in 2010" and I needed to a check-in. Let's see how I am doing. Blog at least 3x per week - I think that I have been doing pretty good with this. I know there have a been a few weeks where I did 2 and not 3, but it is better than none at all.  Complete some home improvement projects - Some of the home improvement projects that have been started, such as painting a dresser for my husband or adding a railing up the stairway, have been started but need to be finished, like finding the proper knobs for the dresser and now painting the hallway since my husband has put pencil marks on the wall trying to line up the railing. Some of the project we have planned like, buliding a deck and redo the bath are going to wait until warmer weather.  Keeping my closets clean -- I think I have been doing ok with this. What I really need to do is to move my winter clothes to tubs in the basement or donating the clothes that I can no longer wear. ...
