It is finished! The last day of my challenge was yesterday, now I can let loose. Not really. I didn’t achieve my #15×15 goal, to lose 15 pounds by September 15. I could have tried harder. I could have quit coffee, eaten more salad, and skipped the french silk pie, but I didn’t. Honestly, I’m… Continue reading The Last #15×15 Check-in
This past week I have just been pretty lazy, on my challenge anyways. I didn’t even try to get my water intake each day, my exercise was down, and eating was under control, but not great. I only have one more week until my #15×15 challenge is over. I have been thinking about what’s next.… Continue reading #15×15 Check-in: A Lazy Week
There was one picture I wanted to take last year, because it was evidence of my goal achievements. Then, before I had time to make a blog post of it, I felt the need to take a blogging break and never posted it. Last week was my 15th wedding anniversary, so I thought now was… Continue reading #15×15 Check-in: 15 Years and it Fits!
I’m just going to say it right away and get it over with. I gained 4 pounds this week. (running to hide in a corner) I gained 4 pounds this week! I guess that’s what happens when you stop working toward a goal. I didn’t exercise much because I wasn’t home much and because of… Continue reading #15×15 Check-in: Well, This is Embarrassing
This week was full of fun… and pain. I have been having some odd foot pain. It hasn’t affected my running but usually starts hurting later in the day. As if foot pain wasn’t enough, I decided to join my kids on one roller coaster ride this week and the next day I was stuck… Continue reading #15×15 Check-in: Step Away From the Roller Coaster
This weekend I finished my 9 week C25k training. I am now able to jog for a full 30 minutes! It actually took me a few extra weeks, with hot weather, sickness, etc., but I did it! I finished, but I’m not done. I can’t just stop now that I’ve completed the training. I need… Continue reading #15×15 Check-in: Finished, but not Done
A few years ago I thought I was set. I thought I had the perfect curriculum choices for my family. The rest of this homeschool journey would be easy, just get the next level of this book and I’m done. I found out quickly that that was not going to work. My children are different. They… Continue reading Our 2013-2014 Homeschool Curriculum
Abigail was turning five and we needed to make a decision about school for Kindergarten. I had already decided homeschooling was not for me, so we had to find another option. We looked at the christian school but the tuition was just too much for our little budget to handle. We then ventured into the… Continue reading How we started homeschooling : Part 2
It’s been over a month since I started my #15×15 challenge, so I thought it was about time to step up my challenge. Before I get to my goals I want to share what I’ve been feeling the last few days. Losing weight and living healthier is HARD WORK! I do have days that go… Continue reading #15×15 Weekly Check In: This is Hard Work and New Goals
I used to share a lot more about homeschooling here, but it’s been a while. It’s such a big part of our life that I really want to start sharing again. I’ve decided to start at the beginning. I think it’s always interesting to see how other people started homeschooling and helps you understand different… Continue reading How We Started Homeschooling : Part 1
