{Weekly review} THANKSGIVING! Week 48 reflections, week 49 plans.

Well, it was Thanksgiving. That’s all I have to say for myself…

Week Review

• Project last week: Repaint wall behind toilet.
  (hahaha! Ya, nope, didn’t get to that)
  
• Books I’m Reading:
  I had a pretty good week staying off my phone in the evenings and reading instead.
  We Live in Alaska–Nightstand book: on chapter 14 of 22
  The End of Absence— DEAR book: on chapter 7 of 9 (having quite a few margin discussions with the author)
  Cranford–zero progress (I think I’ll set this aside until I’m done with one of the books above.)
  Storyworthy by Matthew Dicks–Not a Christian book. Evening book: on chapter 8 of 23. I’m currently trying to implement his Homework for Life: “Spend 5 minutes each day writing down one or more meaningful moments. A few sentences a day are all it takes to preserve your life story—and create a collection of memories you’ll cherish forever.”
  GOAL: Continue D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything and Read) at 3pm.
  
• School: (My friend and I are taking Introduction to the Constitution, from Hillsdale College)
  LAST WEEK’S GOAL: Finish lesson 4 before next Monday’s weekly review post. –>zero progress.
  THIS WEEK’S GOAL: Again: Finish Lesson 4.
  
• Memory: (Currently working on Exodus 34:7.) Goal: 5x a week.
  Result: 2/5 -Got it down pretty good. Still a few pauses when reciting it, so I’ll work another week on it.
  
• Exercise: (Goal: strength 3x a week, & cardio at least 2x)
  This week I tried a new YouTube personal trainer, Trish, a lady from Ireland (love her accent). It was fun and she had some moves that I haven’t done before (not hard, just different).
  Result: Strength: 1/3 Cardio: 1/2
  • Mon–Did nothing but run errands
  • Tues– This strength video and this cool down
  • Wed–Did this cardio video and was a bit sore from yesterday, but not bad.
  • Thurs–THANKSGIVING and no exercise
  • Fri–Walk around the block with grandaughters and Corey (very slow, but fun)
  • Sat–short hike around Christmas tree farm
    
• Evening routine: (Goal: 7 times/7 days a week):
  Result: 1/7 – hahaha! Lame! (but it was a week of Thanksgiving prep)
  
• Zone cleaning: Last week was the bedroom and office zone. (Goal: Get at least 5 tasks done):
  Result: 0/5 (see below) – Oh well.
