Two months to accomplish Goal #2

I realized I have only 8 weeks left to get to the weight where my wedding and engagement rings fit me again.  That means I have 8 weeks to lose 10 pounds.  So yesterday when my daughter asked me to run with her (Yes, this is new.  We do not have runners in our family.), I said yes and alternated run, walk, run.  Tonight she asked me to do yoga with her, so I'm going to do that when this post is finished.

In addition to embracing this, I knocked off four more items on the vacation to do list.

Tomorrow I go to work early to prevent some stress, so I better get stretching so I can read for a little while after yoga and still get to bed at a decent time.

"Vacation" week

This is my long vacation week and I have accomplished a number of items on my to do list including:
  • Read one book per day
  • organize food cabinet in kitchen
  • organize freezer
  • organize fridge
  • pick up the war-torn guest room
  • catch up laundry
  • weed the garden
  • make the cats' vet appt.
  • make the energy audit appt.
  • drop of some clothes at the Rescue Mission
  • drop off cans and bags to re-use at the library
  • go to movies to see Rock of Ages
  • water ski!!
Still to go with three days left:
  • put strings up for peas in garden
  • trim the tomato plants
  • weed and organize the crafty area
  • make REM's 5th grade memory book
  • make REM's 6th grade memory book
  • figure out a shelf set up for the cupboard over the bread box
  • figure out how to fix the problem with the globes too long over the medicine chest
  • grocery shopping
  • make fruit salad for July 4th family gathering
Many of the remaining items are ones on the list of things I made in January.  That list is much shorter now, so I need to focus on the satisfaction of a place for everything and everything in its place.  One or two small things or one big thing each day/week and by the end of the year, you're where you want to be.  Oh, happiness!  You do not elude me!
