Sunday Update: Right Now
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. (Oh yeah, I made it to bootcamp all three days this week.) I think I look pretty good right now. RIGHT NOW. If nothing changes from here on out, I’m good. I’ll keep working out. I’ll keep trying to eat right. I’ll keep laughing with my friends. I’ll…
Read MoreSunday Update: Persist
How many times have you thought “I can’t do this. Why am I even trying? What’s the point? It’s too hard. I’m not seeing results quick enough.” You don’t get better overnight. You don’t lose weight overnight. You don’t learn to eat the right way overnight. Those who don’t succeed have not tried enough times.…
Read MoreSunday Update: Stress
It’s been a full month, and we’re only 10 days in! We’re had an major announcement – RVTV is coming to Webster City. It involves a lot of planning, and it’s a month away. I was out two days this past week or Ag Urban Institute. I’m active as a volunteer at the movie theater…
Read MoreSunday Update: Moving Forward
Last week I had the opportunity to climb up on a sky jack and be raised three stories in the air to look at the Webster Theater marquee. I was afraid I couldn’t get on the sky jack. I had to climb up three steps and swing myself up and on my knees and then…
Read MoreSunday Update: Vacation
I’m sitting at the Charlotte airport with a 4 hour layover. My great nephew Steven and I are returning from vacation on Holiday Island. The house we stayed in was right on the Albemarle Sound. There’s an advantage in staying in a house instead of a hotel. You can cook your own food. We ate…
Read MoreSunday Update: On the road
On the road again, just can’t wait to get on the road again …. I’m on vacation! Sunday was spent in church, hugging the kids and leaving for Minneapolis where my 9 year old great nephew and I flew out this morning to North Carolina. Every year I head East to spend a week with…
Read MoreSunday Update: Just Decide
Yes, I know it’s Monday. Sometimes you gotta take some time off and go somewhere new. I did that this past weekend. Met my friend Erin Criss at LeClaire, Iowa and had a working vacation. We wrote her LinkedIn Summary. We ate at fine restaurants. We talked and talked and talked. We sat and looked…
Read MoreSunday Update: 5 Days A Week
Hello my lovelies! The past two weeks I went to the gym 5 days a week. This week I only went three times. I was off work Monday through Wednesday and was driving two of those days and playing with my great niece the other day. Sounds like an excuse, doesn’t it? That’s because it…
Read MoreSunday Update: Friends
You gotta have friends, you gotta have friends. Well, they sure do help on this journey! Todd Randall Jordan makes me nuts. Every day he goes to the gym. Lifts weights, kettle ball, treadmill, standing on one foot — he shares on facebook that he works out. Yesterday he said he didn’t make it to…
Read MoreEating Healthfully in Social Situations
Sheree Clark is in my Ag Urban Initiative program and now a friend. You’d not think we’d become friends – she’s a vegan, and I’m not. She’s healthier than I’ve ever been! However, there is always common ground and we’ve found. I’ve spent some time in conversation about eating better, addressing challenges and finding food that you…
