Competing Goals

Are you the type of person that makes goals as a form of motivation? I guess I am, but at the moment some of my goals are at odds with each other.
My Fitbit drives me toward a goal of 10,000 steps a day with a higher goal of losing weight.
I have another goal to read X number of books by the end of the year that I am woefully far from achieving. These two goals are hard to reconcile. Because, silly me, I like to read curled up in a chair or couch, this cuts down on any walking or movement beyond turning the page.
I also have a sewing project that is borderline important (at least to me) that is getting put on the back burner because of these other two goals (also because it is intimidating).

These are what I turn to in the roughly 2 hours of free time that I have when children are in bed. I also have a husben I am quite fond of spending time with and talking to when we are alone.

The end of the year is a silly time to be trying to build motivation.

Halloween 2014!

We had a very happy Halloween!

Vampire teeth from Gramma


Rainbow dash, lyddi-bug, Dumbo and Elsa

Our pumpkins - we put in glow sticks instead of candles. Unfortunately we only had a handful of trick-or-treaters come by to enjoy them.
