Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
I just don't understand this whole process some weeks. I did get a lot more steps in this week. A week ago today I logged 27,249 steps. That's a new personal best. Despite the fact that I kept forgetting to carry my Fitbit I still logged more steps than most weeks (three days logged, over... Continue Reading →
Someone once told that you haven't lost if you keep getting back off the ground and trying. So I'm back off the ground. And the overall impact of last week turned out to be exactly zero. Maybe that means I didn't gain anything and just held even. I'd rather think that getting back on task... Continue Reading →
Over the last couple years, I have had a great location to do my walking and running (when I've managed to pull that off). Just a few miles away is a great local park with a small lake in the center. Given the Scottish history of the name of the town where I live (Midlothian),... Continue Reading →
Won't even lie. This week I just gave up. Not permanently, but I just couldn't face the struggle this week. I got virtually no exercise and stuffed my face with leftover Easter candy. We didn't plan a menu and ate out several times. Complete catastrophe. And I just didn't care. The lack of any kind... Continue Reading →
Sigh. No excuses. I'm not putting the effort into this that I am to my creative stuff. Or my job. And the results show it. It wasn't a good week. Too many things that stressed me, too many things that took me out of my routine. And the weather has been less than ideal. But... Continue Reading →
This week was what it was. I'm not going to obsess about it. A sabotage week followed by a "stuff yourself with candy" week. It was never going to be good. In the end, it could have been worse. But after several weeks of positive movement, I get a couple of negative. Time to... Continue Reading →
I'm writing this a day before the weigh in. So maybe it won't be as bad as I thought. Got a little out of control at the beginning of the week (which begins for me Saturday after the weigh in). Not sure I ever got back into control. Was also ready to break into the... Continue Reading →
I guess you take help whatever the source. Last week I mentioned that I had gotten sick following a rather intense week. It started out as a just a cold but then headed into my chest and knocked me out. Tuesday I left work early because of it. I ended up missing three days... Continue Reading →
So this is the post where I explain that my writing is keeping me from my writing. Seriously. In the average week, here is the bottom line writing that I have committed to creating: Three approximately five hundred word scripts for my radio program "The View From the Phlipside". Those scripts then have to be... Continue Reading →
Some new challenges this week. First, the life of a Youth Minister can make controlling diet a challenge. A huge youth ministry event means that you are surrounded by less than ideal eating options. Given that this was a three-day event (with another week before that to set up) and it is a huge... Continue Reading →
