New favorite things!

This week has been all about making healthier food choices. Lean proteins, lots of whole grains, fruits and vegetables .. and plenty of water!

Two finds that I tried this week that I'm raving about! Unpaid endorsement to follow ...

Popchips - Sweet Potato and Luna Fiber Bars - Chocolate Raspberry flavor!

One salty, one sweet .. well sorta. At least that's how I use them. The pop chips are a great side to pack for my lunch with a pita sandwich, and the Luna bar is a great mid-afternoon pick me up.

Day 16: Six Word Memoir

"Thought about stopping, then ran harder." Day 16 for the Blogember challenge is a 6-word memoir. I could substitute 'ran' for 'tried' almost every day. Even if for just a brief moment I am paralyzed with fear, confusion, doubt - I press on. And that is the very best time …. knowing that I still have the power within me to continue to 'fight'. This can be a physical challenge, emotional challenge or just what appears to be a mountain of work to overcome…. whatever it is, if I choose to find a way through it, rather than around it - I'm successful. Happened again this week at work - and my husband reminded me last night. Why did you let it get you down for two days when you knew they best way to solve it was head-on, with a direct conversation?

And I'm back

Right now on the downslide to 2018 there are some things that need to change. I can feel them in my bones, in my heart and on my mind! This is going to be the year of me. Feeling, doing, loving better than I have before.... not wondering, resting and being cautious! This image is the inspiration I need. The critic is the inner critic. And i'm done listening to her. Here's what I know. I'm braver and stronger than I ever imagined. When someone says I can't do something I say, 'just watch me." So here goes. 2018 feeling better feeling stronger being curious being bold taking adventures taking time to do it right

Day 23: My Reverse Bucket List

Oh the commitment to Blogember - has enabled me to look forward to writing each day. And during a random day off from work yesterday, I was thinking, 'how can I continue this writing through the end of the year .. at least?" This has been a wonderful gift to me, enabling me to have a reason to write - not about the accomplishments that occur or even capturing the mundane moments - but the commitment to write on a pre-chosen topic has become a discipline that I believe I would miss if I stopped just because the calendar changes to December. More to come on that … My Reverse Bucket list is a new concept to me. I once did the Bucket List exercise with a friend choosing 10 things a day that we sent back and forth over email. Our lists reached 100 and when forced to come up with ten new ones a day I was sometimes surprised what showed up. The Reverse Bucket List - 2013 start to hike the 46 high peaks in NYS go back to school and get my degree meet ...
