In case you missed it, last week’s topic was Take Measure, there was a FREE printable Take Measure List posted for those that wanted to participate or maybe you just like FREE printables and cute lists (like me!). I had only a few goals for myself today: get at least some of my laundry done, rest, and not to work too hard given the fact that I worked Saturday and Sunday. I slept waaay in and when I got up I went over to “The Mat” and did two loads of laundry. I was feeling a bit peakid and the Martha Stewart living (Oct. 2007) was making me feel hungry (and inadequate!) so I decided to fold my still damp laundry and head over to the local grocery to see if I could find some sustenance. I narrowly avoided purchasing the giant cranberry colored mums on display at the entrance and made my way past the pies and the wine. I’m on a strict budget lately and all those items have been excluded indefinitely. I bought my lunches for the week, some sushi and a gallon of green tea for my date tonight with the newest episode of Heroes. All of which has led me to this week’s lovely Look Up topic:
Be Well.
If you are anything like me, you have a zillion things going on in your head and nearly none of them involve eating or the possibility of planning to have a breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I just get preoccupied and forget…then I crash…and burn. I’ve taken steps to improve my fiscal fitness and now I want to carry that theme though to my physical fitness. All research on this topic leads to food… and eating habits. Once I read that a balanced diet with at least 100% of your daily vitamins and minerals helps to boost thought processes (and creativity!) I was sold. I’m starting my eating schedule this week, next week’s topic will be related to this one so I’m sure you can guess what it will be about.
Last week I had fun with the Take Measure printable list so I’m including another one. This printable is a fill in the blank I made up for myself to plan/track my meals. I’ve set it off to the right of the page since I will be 3-hole punching the sheets and putting them in a 1.5″ three-ring binder. The PDF has 5 pages: blue, green, pink, purple and orange. Right click the link to download (Macs: option click).
