T.T.T. update

I know I made my Things Take Time resolution public on Monday, and it's only Thursday, but I really did start working on them on January 1st, which was a week ago. And I am happy to report that I have, in fact, lost exactly one pound in one week.

Of course I wish it were five pounds, but better to make small, manageable changes than go crazy and burn out before I reach my goal.

Other T.T.T. news: I did send out one magazine query earlier this week. Also have been making time for more spiritual awareness, particularly timely with Abby having her first reconciliation (confession) next week.

Exercise...less progress, although I've done it two out of three days and am trying to figure out how to fit it in today. I'm a little cramped for time, with the piano tuner coming today (hallelujah!) I guess the only thing I can really do is go to the gym while the boys are at preschool this morning. I hate giving up my alone time, which I use for writing. But I can creatively find writing time later, like after the kids are in bed, when I most certainly will not feel like exercising.

I am off to get dressed in my gym clothes, a concrete step to make me follow through.
