Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?

    Today, I will be the guide for 6 Costa Rican guests as we hike the Sagauro National Park. I love those crazy cactus that are at least 80 years old before they sprout their first arm! Our lives are very short by comparison.
    New Years Resolutions: What, if any resolutions, are you putting into practice in 2017?
    I recommitted to using www.verbling.com for Spanish language training and practice. I have begun

    What about you?

    Looks like you're on an adventure Rick!

    I work with deaf children so this summer I hope to pass my exams for the next level in British Sign Language. I'm also aiming to get my BMI from overweight to healthy/normal.

    Yes x 3 today. Hope you all have a great weekend!

    JANUARY 13 - Another fantastic shot, Rick. Wow!

    I came across this lovely pledge, below, which takes the prize for resolutions. It is as relevant today as it was 100 years ago. I posted it in my office and will try to focus on one line each day. (For me, "expenditure" can apply to money, calories, time, etc.)
    A Resolve
    for Every Morning of the New Year
    I will this day try to live a
    simple, sincere and serene life,
    repelling promptly every thought of discontent,
    anxiety, discouragement, impurity and self-seeking,
    cultivating cheerfulness,
    magnanimity, charity and
    the habit of holy silence,
    exercising economy in expenditure,
    carefulness in conversation,
    diligence in appointed service,
    fidelity to every trust and
    a child-like trust in God.
    ~From a calendar by Bishop John H. Vincent, 1909

    Yes x 3 for me: This-yoga's-not-for-sissies, body pump

    It's not a resolution, but I have recently decided to stay off of Facebook, because it makes me upset and anxious-- bad for my health.

    @deejkush I agree about FB. People are behaving badly! Many of those who are behaving badly are people who I love. It makes me sad.
    @fitqueenbess Thanks for sharing your inspiring quote.
    @am_change You are making great and consistent progress toward your goal.
    @deadchipmunk Thanks for being real!!
    @hkaccompanist I hope you held your line! Thanks

    Not a bad day overall. I got in a quick run while the kid was at Girl Scouts.
    Food was not the best quality , but all under goal and tracked.
    Happy Weekend!
