Fat Pant Emergency

Have you ever not stepped on the scale because you are afraid of what it is going to say?  That is me right now.  Don't get me wrong, I'm a 'fat girl' and I'm okay with that.  I mean, who doesn't enjoy a dozen cookies every so often??? What I'm not okay with is tight fat pants.  :\  There aren't any more pants once I grow out of the fat pants!!!  And what will I do when Thanksgiving arrives? Stop when I'm full? Not likely!!

Physical Challenge: Squats

• 2 squats per day of the month
• can be accumulated throughout the day

 So on day one- 2 squats, day 10- 20 squats, day 30- 60 squats, etc.  Doable.  Let's keep each other motivated!!!

Chicken Scratch

I wrote my letter. I wrote it to my grandmother. I hope she appreciates it. 

I now remember why everyone stopped writing letters-it's no good.

1. I have horrendous handwriting. Like, seriously bad. My handwriting has been made fun of on so many occasions that it's ridiculous. 

2. Finding the time to sit down and write on paper was not happening. Ain't nobody got time for that. 

3. What does one say in a letter? I rambled on about random stuff. I told my grandma about this blog. Do grandmas even know what blogs are?

4. No spellcheck. How did people exist before spellcheck??? Even if my grandma can get past the handwriting, I'm afraid she still won't know what I'm trying to say.

I think we all know how I feel about email, text, Facebook, and Instagram-AWESOME!

It was kind of fun to write a letter and maybe I will do it again. It did, after all, give me an excuse to use the stationary I got about 20 years ago. 

Someone Is Going To Feel Like They've Won A Prize!!

Hey, peeps. I'm challenging myself and all of you to write one letter this week. I get so many adds and bills and junk that when I get any real mail, (baby shower invite, birthday card, wedding announcement, and the like) it feels like I've won a a prize! I get so excited that the real mail gets hung up on the fridge!!! ;)

I think I am going to write to my grandma for this challenge. You can pick whoever you want. I will probably write some random stuff and maybe a memory. Knowing myself, I will probably draw some random pictures as well. If I get super ambitious, I will have Talon dictate a message for me to write and have him color a picture as well. The real challenge will be to actually get it mailed off. I'm sure we have envelops and stamps somewhere....

Letter Writing Challenge: 1 Letter, 7 Days

•  Pick someone to write to
• Write to them
• Mail it
• Within 7 days

This is why I might struggle to find envelopes and stamps. 

This is our office desk. Yes, most of that clutter is mine. No, my husband isn't very happy about it. 

I'm Only Kind Of A Negative Beech

Results of my no complaining challenge:

I think that I did awesome!! I'm fairly certain that I have been pretty darn positive all week long. I asked my husband how he thought I did, "You are perfect in every way," was his answer. Apparently I didn't do as well as I thought. :/  The good news is, my husband knows the right way to answer my questions. ;)

Did anyone else do the challenge? What did you think? How did you do? Any stories to tell? Share yo!ur comments on the blog or on the blog's Facebook page. I love to hear from my readers/friends!!

I'm A Negative Beech

I am a complainer.  I know this about myself.  I'm especially horrible when I am tired...which is a lot. The temperature, kids, cooking, cleaning, traffic, what evs, I complain about it all.  Well, I have decided that I want to change, that I want to be better and more positive.  This week I am challenging myself to be positive and to not complain.  I'm sure that it will be difficult at first, but I'm hoping that by the end of the week, I'll be awesome...er than I already am ;)  I thought it would be fun if we all did the challenge together!! Super fun, right?!

Personality Challenge: Be Positive

• No complaining
• One week
• That's it

I'll post updates on the blog's FB page and I will also report back after the week is up.  Feel free to do the same.  :)
