Updates once more . . . #writemotivation, #writemehealthy
Well, it seems the only things I’m able to handle right now are my weekly updates >_<. My apologies to everyone who normally reads my Sunday Devotionals, but yesterday was just so . . . strange. My routine ws completely off-kilter, and before I knew it, it was bedtime.
So, on to #writemotivation goals . . .
1 Get devotional book drafted, start polishing.
Haven’t made it any further than where I was last week, unfortunately.
2. Work on Blood of Trees, to be ready to pitch in October.
um, yeah . . . still haven’t started this one.
3. Write at least 500 words a day on Undoing.
well . . . I’m doing about 300 words week currently, lol, if you average it out. I wrote 630 words on Saturday.
Now, for my own #writemehealthy goals:
Spirit
1. To help my grandmother get a good back-up supply of the foods she needs to stay healthy (she’s on a pretty strict diet), since grandpa is proving unreliable in keeping up with it.
Working on this one, the next phase is to just take the initiative to call Grandma before I go grocery shopping and see what she needs.
Soul
1. To get at least one massage before the end of this round.
2. To read at least one book about time management.
Body
1. Get in the habit of drinking 8 glasses of water a day (again). I was very good about this, until a couple of months ago.
Yeah, working on this, but not succeeding yet.
2. Do a full body cleanse at some point in this experience.
3. Get in the habit of working out at least twice a week.
I’ve decided that mowing the lawn counts toward this.

Mowing the lawn (and yard work in general) DEFINITELY counts as exercise! Today was the first day I’ve been to the gym since mid-June. I’ve done yard work and gone walking fairly often, but I haven’t done a serious workout in awhile. It felt good to move.
And remember: any progress is forward progress. 630 is really good, considering the lack of Internet did not stop us from talking nonstop for four hours… 🙂
Here’s to another week!
It may not be blast forward progress, but you’ve got some progress happening. I’m curious about what a full body cleanse is, though. Now that I think about it, if I’m asking, I probably need one 🙂
You’ve had a very stressful couple of weeks so far. It’s understandable. And sometimes, it is life telling you to slow down, don’t worry about it. I had that happen to me last week too. No worries! Everything’s good! I do see some bit of progress in there. Remember, a single word is progress! 🙂
I might be able to help you with the water intake! I’ve fallen in love with True Lemon (http://www.truelemon.com). It’s dehydrated lemon, lime, orange, and now grapefruit. They also have Raspberry Lemonade! YUMYUM!. I love adding it to plain water to change up the taste a bit. Also, Mio is another good alternative. I drink one RedBull in the morning and then it’s tea, true lemon, or mio the rest of the day. I know I get enough water every day now. Straight water is not always something I can do. Maybe in the dead of summer, but not all the time. 🙂
Cheers! Here’s to life calming down so you can work it! 😀
oh, i’d agree that lawn mowing is one heck of a workout! and in this heat? it’s enough to knock the motivation out of you to do anything. so a little progress is still progress. i have to drink a lot of water because of the migraine meds i take (supposed to be about 8 cups a day and i do manage that on most days). i drink a lot of sparkling water with a squeeze of lime in it when i need something more than plain old tap water.
Mowing the lawn counts as 12391312 work outs. Especially in this heat. Just saying.
I’ve found a bottle with a straw in it helps me drink a lot more water than I usually would. I’m not sure if it will help you, but it’s worth a try 😀
Also – you’ve had such a stressful few weeks. Relax. There’s always August and September if July doesn’t work out perfectly ❤
Mowing the lawn totally counts!! Watch out for those body cleanse things though. They aren’t all they claim to be and can actually do worse for your body than good. Cleanse naturally. Throw out all the junk/crap food you have on hand and replace with fruits and veggies. And drink water like crazy!! I know it’s hard, but after about two weeks you find it becomes a good/easy habit. I still allow myself a little junk food here and there, but I don’t keep it in my house, therefore I won’t snack on it regularly. And I agree with KT, relax. Sometimes life gets in the way. Remember to step back and breathe. And even if you can’t find time or inspiration to write, do some reading. Reading always helps me!!
I also agree mowing the lawn counts! Also, you have made some writing progress so that counts as a positive as well. Especially since it seems you had a stressful week!
