New Fitness Goal...Pushups

Spark articles recommend focusing not just on the scale but on other measures, especially fitness measures. I have NEVER really been able to do push-ups (or pull-ups, but 1 thing at a time)

    Me neither! No free wall in my tiny apartment. I am considering getting a bar for the door and learning to do pull ups. You got this!

Blogday 13(-5)_100days: 'How're you getting groceries?' (& some bi*ching & whining)

Image
  A team I'm on posted the q: "How have you been getting groceries". I started to answer, but once I got into it, and got personal, I opted to not post my very long answer to clog the thread, so I'm posting here. Most of the team did some form of online ordering.

First, complimenting and encouraging others is one of the easiest and most powerful ways to be a positive force in someone's life. As long as you're sincere, repeating that encouragement as often as possible can have effects that far outweigh the effort. Countless people have exceeded their own expectations just because others believed in them." This is true, and I found it to be so as a teacher. But sometimes, like with family, it just is not appreciated. "Second, giving positive feedback works even better if done publi
