Goal Review

The year is about 1/4 over so it's time to see how I'm doing on my goals for the year.

1.  Lose weight.  As of a few days ago I was down 9 pounds.  I've been doing Intermittent Fasting off and on but have come to the conclusion that it is kind of pointless, because you still have to limit your daily calorie intake, and as long as I'm doing that it doesn't matter how late I eat or whether or not I go 16 hours without eating. I can get the same results eating "normally" as long as I'm restricting my calories.  It was good for keeping me from snacking in the evening while I watch TV, though.  So I may still do it from time to time.  In fact, I am going to restart tonight/tomorrow.

2.  Read most of the Bible (and finish in 2022).  I use the app "Bible in One Year" and proud to say I've been consistent and on pace to actually finish this year and not have to go into next year.  I occasionally get behind a day or two (or three) but I always catch back up.


3.  Start hiking more.  Waiting for later spring or summer and better weather.



4.  Read more. My reading really took a dive last year thanks to my addiction to a few different mobile games (Township and Match 3D).  So this year I want to ramp that up.  I did great in January and February but kind of fell off in March.  I am starting to get back on track, though.

5.  Blog more.  Check.  I only posted 15 times all of last year and so far this year I've posted around 30.

Luther Burbank Park

Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island.  When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground.  So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time).  The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders.  They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits.  They were SO sandy and wet coming home.

First Day of 10th Grade

 Today was the first day of 10th grade for the girls.  Sophomores.  I can't believe we only have two more of these.  Not counting college, of course. Kayley Kayley again Olivia It has become my tradition to take the day before and the first day off.  Back in the elementary days, the day before the first day was "meet the teacher day", so I would always take them to that, then in middle school we would just go to lunch or get our nails done.  Last year was their first day of high school, though, so that day was orientation and that brings us up to this year.  The day before the first day is "Wildcat Day", which is mostly a freshman and new student orientation.  Olivia is in ASB so she had to go help with that, but Kayley didn't go.  Instead, her and I took some of her old clothes to this resale store called Plato's Closet to try and sell them (it's similar to a consignment shop except they just pay you then and there and then resell them, instead of o

A Day in My Life

  It's time once again for the Multiples and More Question of the Week:  A Day in Your Life. What is your schedule like? Do you work outside the home or stay home with the kids?   I am very blessed to be a SAHM.  Our schedule looks something like this: The girls get up anywhere between 7:20 and 8:20, but usually around 8:00.  Lately I've been letting them watch an episode of Dora so I can get on the computer and check email, Facebook, etc.  Otherwise they just play for an hour or so and then we have breakfast. By the time we're done with breakfast (fixing, eating and cleaning up) it's usually between 9:30 and 10:00.  We get dressed, and then we go wherever we're going that day (errands, park, playdate, etc.).  If it's a stay home day, I'll usually do a DVD workout while they just play upstairs and then we'll go for a walk or play outside after. Lunch is anywhere between 12:00 and 1:00, and nap is 1:30 or 2:00 to 4:00 or 4:30. After their nap
