2014 in Review

Posted on December 31, 2014August 10, 2021by Carmen
ASimpleHomestead.com - 2014 beg to end

It’s so hard to believe that 2014 is at an end already.  The last 6 months have gone by in such a blur I’ve hardly had time to register it in my brain. Do you remember back to January when I said my one goal for the year was to be more purposeful?  Yeah.  I […]

Last week I joined a health challenge.  I can almost hear the sighs … yes, another one.  This one is through a Ravelry group called Knit ‘n Fit.   The challenge is to daily post in the forum about our Meals, Muscles (exercise), and Motivation.  We’ve also shared what our goals are, healthy recipes, and what’s […]

YMCA New Year's Resolution walk_run - finish line

I can’t believe I’m going to show this picture.  I’ll just make it as small as possible. This was me a week ago.  Well, January 4th to be exact.  You see back in December I signed up to do a three-series walk/run sponsored by the local YMCA.  One walk per month for the next three […]

Fitness in 2014

I never got around to talking about how I finished out the December Peak313 challenge.  For each of the three weeks I participated in, I earned my charity a total of $29.  Since I was rounding down for the SparkPeople points, I’ll bump my donation up to an even $30 and send it off to […]

30 Days of Gratitude – Day 19

Posted on November 19, 2013October 26, 2021by Carmen
feet on the pavement

Today I’m thankful for my feet.  Why? Last week I was walking into Walmart and I saw an older woman shuffling along at a snail’s pace.  She clearly couldn’t lift her feet to move any faster. Also, a couple of weeks ago I noticed that a neighbor down the street now had a smaller handicapped […]

Living and Active – final week

Posted on October 21, 2013February 20, 2019by Carmen

So how did I do the final two weeks?  Pfffft.  Translation: not good. I was derailed by life happenings.  Just like last year, I caught a cold and then ended up with a persistent cough that made it difficult to do much of anything for a week or more. Last week I was further hindered […]

Living and Active – week 3

Posted on October 8, 2013March 22, 2018by Carmen
view on lunch time walk

Week 3 was a struggle for me, but I expected it would be.  Fall colds always seem to settle and cause a persistent tickle in my throat that makes it difficult to breathe, let alone get any exercise in.  This happens every year.  One doctor years ago told me I had viral-induced asthma and gave […]

And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart. ~ Ecclesiastes 4:12 Do you ever feel that God is talking to you through His Word?  This was the “soul food” memorization verse from Week 1.  At the end of the week, […]

Living and Active – week 1

Posted on September 23, 2013December 4, 2018by Carmen

For not having exercised much at all the last several months, I did pretty well in the first week of the Living and Active challenge. Accountability: I convinced a couple of friends to sign up for the challenge with me.  One is a co-worker so she gets me moving at lunchtime, and the other will […]
