Another week down! I think (just like everyone) I'm sticking to some, and definitely need to work on others. Let's check the run down...
A bad habit I'm going to break: Drinking soda. -- NOPE. This one went out the window this week big time, and not just that time that Momma needed a bourbon and ginger ale...
A new skill I'd like to learn: Calligraphy! -- Still practicing away. I'm heading to Hobby Lobby this weekend with a friend and plan to pick things up to make Valentines - I'll keep you posted on how it goes!
A good deed I'm going to do: I'd love to find a Girl Scout troop
to get involved in -- I researched the local branch and emailed the volunteer contact. I'm really excited about this! There are lots of different ways to get involved and I can't wait to see where I can help.
A place I'd like to visit: Just out of the country. -- Orders have officially come down, but no more news about deployment. July is a possibility, so maybe a May or June vacation is on the books, but nothing certain yet.
A book I'd like to read: The Bible. L and I are following this plan
and right now we're 2 days behind. My fault - I wanted to do it before bed, and we keep forgetting, so back to dinner time it is. But, we're reading about Joseph and every time we read a chapter I sing him what I can remember of the corresponding song from "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" (my favorite show of all time).
A letter I'm going to write: I'd like to participate monthly (or maybe twice a month!) in More Love Letters.
--I technically fulfilled my minimum requirement for this last week. There aren't any more bundle requests right now, but maybe I'll stick another anonymous note somewhere...
A new food I'd like to try: Indian food -- I found some great recipes online and I'm keeping my eye on Weight Watchers website for ways to satisfy this craving at home!
I'm going to do better at: working out and eating better. I didn't do too too bad this weekend points wise, and biked yesterday. Since I'm helping to dog-sit, time this evening will be a little crunched, but I'm hoping to get a short interval workout in on the treadmill before L gets home from work.
Hopefully this weekend will help me hit "reset" and I can get back into a routine. How are your resolutions?
I gave up Soda back in June and it was the best decision I ever made. I feel so much better.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying! I don't drink it much to begin with, and we usually don't keep it in the house, but bought it for a party the other week. I'd glad to see it'll be worth it though.
DeleteI'm also trying to ditch the diet coke :(
ReplyDeleteSo hard!

Right? It's just my go-to when I'm stressed and need a pick me up... which is lots this time of year with work.
DeleteI really want to master calligraphy too! Have you tried La Croix? It has carbonation, but is natural flavored water. Maybe that would help kick the soda?
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried La Croix - sometimes when I want something fizzy I get Perrier. But I'll have to give it a try!
