Not a whole lot of progress this week but continuing along with a number already started.
17, 18 - Have talked with a few people about running a marathon next year and even possible a 1/2 marathon in September. I figure the more people I talk to about it the more likely it is to happen.
19 - I have flossed every night this week too! Still have to print off the chart though!
20 - I got 7.5 hours of sleep on Friday and Saturday of this past week. It helps when the kids aren't around (Sat)
22 - included music, Cierra getting to visit with family, memories of ATF and KB from MWSmith
46 - Making plans to take mom out for Mother's Day
72 - Concious about stopping what I was doing to help Marlee when asked - would be nice to do it the whole day though
74 - Wii Fit with Matt; Hair time with Marlee
That's all for now folks!

Sunday, May 10th - Day 8 and progress!
Wow - a week into it already! I have to say though - it's been on my mind a lot and things are already in progress. FUN FUN FUN!!!
So here goes...
#58 - Last Saturday we bought 2 rain barrels from the city - $45!!! Great price. I actually modified my list because that was too easy. I hope to now have proper barrels at all 5 downspouts.
#35 - I have tried some new foods. On Friday we went to an Israeli restaurant in Toronto - to meet up with everyone (well 29) that went on the trip in November. Great food and fellowship - and it was connected to a grocery store. My mom bought some turkish delight and I can recall not being overly fond of it but I thought hey - let's give it a try. Yeah - I STILL don't like it. Awful stuff! She gave me rose flavoured - and belive me it tastes like you think a rose would taste. And the powdery sugar??? What is with that? I thought it was going to be icing sugar. Nope. I won't be adding that to my candy selection.
#35 - Tonight I also tried a black olive. Still don't like them either but I did swallow it. Don't like the smell either - it can really kill a good greek salad. Such a shame.
I'm going to have to think of 10 good things to try though. I don't really want to try things that I won't continue to eat - like I don't like coffee but why should I try to? Same with iced tea. I think I might need to look into the exotic fruits and vegetables like kale and artichokes and stuff like that. Radishes. Some things from You Are What You Eat that just sound gross. But I digress...
#20 - Sleeping - the two times that I have had the opportunity to sleep in - and therefore get teh ful 7.5 hours of sleep I want to get, I woke up at 7am and couln't go back to sleep. I did lounge in bed so I think it counted but obvioulsy I think it means I will need to actually go to bed earlier. I did make good use of it on Saturday though and went for a run. Yey me!
#74 - As for 1:1 time - among other things, Marlee and I sat and watched Scooby Doo together on the tv (her choice) and Matt and I played baseball this week in the front yard.
So all in all I think I'm off to a good start. Back soon!
