Happy Tuesday! I hope this post finds you well!
Last Tuesday, after I grocery shopped and put everything up, I did not feel like cooking. I am sure many of you can relate to this. We’ve been trying to eat a little better, so I also knew I did not want take-out. I remembered I had bought a few things for times like this. See below…..
What do you do when you don’t feel like cooking but also don’t want to eat out? What did you have that was taste recently?

Hi all! Happy Monday! Just like Monday is a state of mind, so is positivity. We all get to choose what our state of mind is when approaching any day or situation.
I deal with situations on most days in which I have to make the decision to put on my positive pants. It really helps the outcome be much better than my brain originally imagined. For example, I work in a pharmacy part-time. There is this one particular patient that is always grumpy and honestly a little nasty. After my first two encounters with him, I decided that I would be over the top nice to him in the future because I didn’t know what he might be going through. The next few times I saw him, I smiled big and very excitedly greeted him, thanked him for his visit, etc. After a few weeks had passed, I saw him exiting the pharmacy as I was enetering, and he smiled at me and waved! It was very touching and made my day!
Is there a specific day of the week or situation you are dealing with that you need to adjust your mindset? Are you choosing to wear your positivity pants today? I would love your input on this topic. How has changing your mindset/state of mind helped change the outcome of a particular situation?

It’s that time of year again! Like last year, I plan to do themed days during Blogtober.
Today is just an intro post, I will start with the below themed days tomorrow.
This is my current plan but may change along the way.
I am also participating in a fundraiser during October if you are interested. Read Everyday In October For the American Cancer Society
I look forward to sharing and interacting with you during Blogtober.

Good morning! I woke up to 63° weather this morning, so I’m enjoying my coffee outside! It is Florida, though, so it won’t last I’ll enjoy what I can.
I wanted to pop by with a quick update. I know I’ve been MIA. Anyone who knows me knows that I believe the more times you try, the better chance you have to succeed. It’s when you stop trying that you fail. With that said, I did restart healthier eating for weight loss on the 6th and am done 5lbs. I do plan to start posting my habit & goal tracking again soon and plan to participate in Blogtober again this year!
I am as determined as ever to reach my goal no matter how many times I have to try. I do plan to meet my weight goal by the end of 2023, though!
As always, I would love to hear from you! What are you working on? Do you have any end of year goals?

Hey all! I hope you are doing well!
I’m a little shocked that this year is over halfway over! I still have things I want to achieve this year, how about you?
The last week of July got away from me, but I refuse to give up. I know that I can become a better version of myself. I’m making some minor tweaks to last month’s goals and habits, then will carry them over to this month. I will post August’s plan soon.
I’d love to hear from you. What are you working on?

Hi All! I hope you are all having a nice week! I am almost through Week 1 of my 10-Week Challenge! Week 2 starts Saturday, 4/15!

I would love to hear from you. Are you making steps towards you long term goals by making small changes?
Have a great weekend, and Be Peaceful!

Hey all! Happy Friday! As I mentioned in my last post, I am determined to reach my goals! I have been taking steps towards my goals since October. I have made a lot of progress in my dedication, determination, and follow-thru. A couple of the things I have worked on and accomplished are surviving Blogtober, starting a healthier lifestyle, and losing almost 30 lbs.
Most recently, I started a part-time second job in order to work on some financial goals. This has led me to realize how precious time really is and to appreciate my free time much more. I have also realized that I need to take control of my time in order to continue reaching my goals. So, I am doing a 10-week challenge, leading up to my next birthday. This challenge will guide me in taking control of my time and allow me to continue working on my goals.
The 10-week challenge will run from 04/08/2023 thru 06/16/2023. Each week, I will have a new challenge for myself to help develop certain habits. I will list the weekly challenges below. I may need to tweak these as I go if something isn’t working how I expected.
Week 1 4/8/2023-4/14/2023: Develop a daily schedule. Include 5:45 wake up, time for exercise, chores, food prep, cooking, self-care, bible study & errands.
Week 2 4/15/2023-4/21/2023: Tweak schedule. Make 1 blog post. WW Blue dot 5 out of 7 days.
Week 3 04/22/2023-04/28/2023: Continue daily schedule but with a wake-up time of 5:40. Continue WW Blue dot 5 out of 7 days. Make 1 blog post. Begin Habit tracking.
Week 4 04/29/2023-05/05/2023: Continue daily schedule but with a wake-up time of 5:35. Continue WW Blue dot 5 out of 7 days. Make 2 blog posts. Continue Habit tracking.
Week 5 05/6/2023-05/12/2023 & Week 6 05/13/2023-05/19/2023: Continue daily schedule, with a wake-up time of 5:35. Continue WW Blue dot 5 out of 7 days. Make 2 blog posts. Continue Habit tracking. Start on the Optavia 4&2 plan.
Week 7 05/20/2023-05/26/2023 & 05/27/2023-06/02/2023: Continue daily schedule, but with a wake-up time of 5:30. Continue WW Blue dot 5 out of 7 days. Make 3 blog posts. Continue Habit tracking. Continue on the Optavia 4&2 plan.
Week 9 06/03/2023-06/09/2023 & Week 10 06/10/2023-06/16/2023: Continue daily schedule, but with a wake-up time of 5:30. Continue WW Blue dot 5 out of 7 days. Make 3 blog posts. Continue Habit tracking. Start on the Optavia 5&1 plan.
What steps are you taking to help you achieve your goal(s)? What goal(s) are you currently working on or plan to start working on? Do you have a daily schedule? Do you habit track? Do you follow a specific eating plan or track your food?
I look forward to hearing from you and sharing this challenge with you.
