Weeks Five through Eight did not vary enough from the previous four weeks for me to have much to say worth sharing. In this final report I will focus on what I learned through setting out this personal challenge. Again, a reminder of my goals: eat more nutritious food with fewer empty calories, walk atContinue reading “Eight-Week Challenge Final Report”

My Most Memorable Independence Days
Happy Fourth of July! As we approached celebrating our country’s 241st birthday, I thought about a couple of my memorable Fourths of July. Two things made the two mentioned below memorable: they diverged from the usual picnics and fireworks, and both involve Iran. July 4, 1976 The first was July 4, 1976, our Bicentennial Independence Day.Continue reading “My Most Memorable Independence Days”
Eight-Week Challenge: Weeks Three and Four
Weeks Three and Four: small improvements from Weeks One or Two. Again, a reminder of my goals: eat more nutritious food with fewer empty calories, walk at least 5,000 steps per day, spend one day a week reading the backlog of magazines sitting on the end table, and write at least 500 words per dayContinue reading “Eight-Week Challenge: Weeks Three and Four”
Eight-Week Challenge: Week Two

Eight-Week Challenge: Preparation 4
Write More Write at least 500 words per day at least five days each week. I’ve been spending a lot of time reading and very little writing. I blame the Goodreads challenge. Last year my goal was to read 50 books. That was so easy I met the goal before the end of August. SoContinue reading “Eight-Week Challenge: Preparation 4”
Eight-Week Challenge: Preparation 3
The magazine backlog My third 2017 eight-week challenge goal is Spend one day a week reading the backlog of magazines sitting on the end table. My real goal is to eliminate the backlog so that means reading at least 4 magazines a week, even if it takes more than one day of reading. In preparationContinue reading “Eight-Week Challenge: Preparation 3”
Eight-Week Challenge: Preparation 2
Get More Exercise My second 2017 eight-week challenge goal is Walk at least 5,000 steps per day. Yeah. That’s only half the distance I should be walking each day. But it’s a lot more than I’ve been walking recently. You know, in winter it was just too cold to go outside to walk. Driving to a mall might tempt meContinue reading “Eight-Week Challenge: Preparation 2”
Eight-Week Challenge: Preparation 1
Make Better Food Choices My first 2017 eight-week challenge goal is eat more nutritious food with fewer empty calories. I was doing so well last year. I had adopted Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s recommendations in his book, Eat to Live, and was benefiting from not only the promised weight loss (with the more important reduction inContinue reading “Eight-Week Challenge: Preparation 1”
