Those are worthy goals, Andi!

Today my overriding goal is to get some personal correspondence taken care of & to, at least, get started on an article I was asked to write.

It is just getting started that seems to be the hold up, don’t you know? Past experience tells me that once started things flow well.

If I get those things done, I will be one happy gal!

God bless!

That means that I will behave myself in regard to food choices. I am not commenting on wheather or not I will behave myself in regard to other areas of life choices!

RedRoseMarie ~ your goal to spread smiles is a great one. I used to tell our “Vision Kids” that if they saw someone without a smile, then it would be nice if they gave that person one of theirs. We are definitely a “smiley” family to this day.



Ima’s goal for each day is to meet her daily goals in all areas – some of the goals I have for this day are:

Add activity by walking/climbing the stairs as many times as I can get in. I have already exceeded my original goal of ten times.

Continue with no snacks (unless supper is way late then I will have a celery stalk to tide me over).

Continue to be sugar-free!

Go through the stack of papers on the table next to my chair in the setting/TV room. It tends to become taller by the day!

My goal starting today is to work on my strength. I have fallen and I am getting back up today. I will begin by being emotionally supportive to my girlfriend who will be in London for work for the next 6-8 weeks. I am back on my "weight loss food plan" and I am sticking with it. My exercise for the day is 1/2 hour on the treadmill and about 2 hours of housecleaning. Should be a good day!

I worked on these goals before posting them - however, since they were goals for the day, I am adding them here. Goals of preparing my report for a meeting to be given on the 21st & dealing with my duties (as far as possible) as Courtesy Chair for one of my groups. It feels so wonderfully freeing to have met both those goals.


Get a nice long walk with my beloved MrV in & give ten extra minutes to my exercise routine.
