An Update

The whole family stayed in tonight. Three of the four of us are asleep on their respective loveseats and ottomans. As for me, I worked on a commissioned afghan. Projects like this are addictive: just one more row, let me finish this skein.

Working to balance LPC, OTC, and all my other miscellaneous projects this week. It’s not easy not having total control of my schedule, but I’m making my free time at LPC count. Just 30 more days until I’m done!

As for the new year, I don’t do resolutions because I’d rather resolve an issue when it comes up not when the calendar changes. In light of upcoming work changes, one goal for the family is to eat out less. A lot less. Which means I’m cooking more. Which means the kitchen in perpetually a mess. But we’re having friends over for dinner more often. Always a good thing.

I’m also back on the abs diet. Again, it’s not a diet as much as it is a reasonable eating plan. It just requires a fun amount of planning and grocery shopping–my favorite. I’m horrible about varying what I eat during the day, so I’m trying to at least work in some variety in my meals from week to week.

I’m sure I’ve put you to sleep with these updates, so I’m off to bed. More soon!

Give Me 8 Weeks, and I’ll Give You 100 Miles: The 2008 100-Mile Challenge

Swim it. Walk it. Bike it. Run it. Or elliptical machine it. Or inline skate it. Or skateboard it. However you do it, just do 100 miles. Starting today, 1 January 2008, you and I have eight weeks to complete 100 self-propelled miles. The challenge ends on 24 February.

R-U-N? Of course you are! Here’s what you need to do:

  • If you’re a blogger, commit to the challenge on your blog and post your progress at least once a week.
  • If you’re not a blogger, join the Awesome Runners group on LogYourRun.com and post your progress there.

If you complete the challenge, you’ll be entered in a drawing for a little door prize (and by little, I mean small and cheap but fun). Let’s get moving in the New Year!
