Mid-May Updates

Surprisingly, my plants are alive and thriving! The tomato plants are about 8-10 inches high... I will be amazed and ECSTATIC if I can get them to yield tomatoes this summer!

The most recent book I've started is The Lightening Thief by Rick Riordan (first of the Percy Jackson series). I didn't think greek mythology fiction would appeal to me, but I am enjoying the read. Plus Rick Riordan just won a Mark Twain award this year and was voted one of the best author's by young readers, so I figure I need to get in the game here and see what he's about.

*sighs* My P90X routine has seemingly slipped into oblivion. But not to worry, I will pick it back up. I really liked the work-out while I was doing it everyday and it's definitely something I want to continue.

Also, I've been doing a few crafts here and there. Still have yet to begin the apron, but I have made two wreaths for Mother's day last week. They turned out super cute and surprisingly simple!

That's about all the updates I have! Let's see I covered my patio garden, books, fitness, projects, oh so HEALTH and BIBLE READING! I've still been incorporating lots of fruit and vegetables into our daily meals and loving it. Last night we had grilled pineapple (Mmmm...) with grilled chicken! And Bible Reading is going well as I am teaching the K-1 class at Eastside. That's a whole other story...but it's going well ;)

Week 2, What it Do.

Okay, well. I am inching along! I had to skip P90X over the weekend because of company... I think it's pretty much impossible to complete that program 90 days in a row without skipping, unless you never leave and have a lot of downtime.

But, I am picking right back up. At least I've had a few days to recuperate! I was getting pretty sore!!!

We have still been having some great foods with more fruit and vegetables, so that's good. I've been drinking hot tea most afternoons as well.

I have actually added another goal to my list, and that is to see if I can grow some vegetables on our patio! I've been reading about what plants do well in pots and it appears there are many possibilities to grow your own food even when you have limited space such as an apartment. I'm excited, but I haven't always been the best at keeping plants alive... so this might not turn out well. I'm thinking some tomatoes and lettuce to start, and possibly some squash or cucumbers. Anything I read more about that grows well in pots!

Drinking the daily 8 isn't as easy as I thought. I pretty much have to remind myself constantly all throughout the day to drink water. So far today I've had about 4 glasses...which means to drink 8, I'm going to have to drink a glass per hour, from now til I go to bed. Haha..

I think I need one of these:

 

"The Daily 8" Water Bottle.. HAHA! I will look like a super silly carrying that around. I think they're funny. But it's also kinda pretty. ;) Maybe I will have to get one...
