January Recap

Listening to the rain.....gosh it sounds great.  Well a quick recap of January.

Theme for January seemed to be "Most of my projects start off slow....then taper off"!  (Stolen from another blogger - Art Davis and his blog, Getting fit at fifty!

Began the month at 210 pounds ended it around 215!  Yikes going the wrong way on that one.  Some other goals that I didn't make progress on included the following:

Didn't run any races although signed up for the "Superbowl Sunday 7K to be run on Superbowl Sunday (2/3)
Didn't complete any sewing projects.
Didn't really do the envelop budget thing, nor save any money.
Didn't make it to church at all in January.

On the plus side, Leta and I did start working on James Dobson's devotions, and continue to discuss getting involved (or at least visiting a church)/
At work I've joined the store's version of Slim Down Show Down, and have started working out and counting calories.
Plus looking at several other upcoming races, but having trouble with the timing because Woody and Bendy are coming at the end of February to spend a week with us birding down at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. I've also signed up for the "Presidential Active Lifestyle Challenge".  I'm already on week 3 of 8.
We have made some progress on some tax issues too.  I even have 2013 filed and there is a possibility of getting a bit of a refund!
Finally, Leta had me purchase some fabric for a new pillowcase, and I have it washed....now to iron, cut it and sew it back together and I'll have a sewing project completed!

Well that's about it for now.  I hope to post some pictures and blog a bit about our recent trip to the Port Aransas area with Mark, Stefanie, Abby and Luke!

Gotta run for now though.....
