First Sensational Sunday of 2009
January 4, 2009
Today was one of those crazy days where I just kept doing things. Kept checking things off the list but the list wasn’t getting any shorter. Like I wasn’t making any progress. Even so, it was still a Sensational Sunday!
It all started with toddler breakfast time. My favorite part of the day and our daily tradition. Today he chose pink and blue cereal with Cheerios. Translation: Frosted Mini-Wheat’s Strawberry Delight
After breakfast we got dressed to look at a house. The husband and I are kicking around a possible move. We love our house but it would be nice to be a little closer to city. We aren’t too serious about it just yet but I love the hunt. I swear sometimes I think I should have been a real estate agent.
For lunch we stopped at McDonald’s. Guess who’s choice that was. :) I stuck with a salad and my usual nibbles of fries and nuggets. When we got home it was nap time. Not for me, of course, for the toddler. I got some work done and went for a quick run. The first of my training (which I updated).
Running Graph taken from Nike+
For the run I made a new crazy play list. I’ll try to publish it this week. After the run more computer time, while doing the laundry. Then dinner. See… I kept doing things but they are just menial tasks. Right now I’m sitting in a disaster zone, with 3 more loads of laundry to fold and bills to pay. YUCK!
YET! It was a Sensational Sunday. I know because I made (overall) good choices, got in a run, organized the toddlers clothes and cleaned out his drawers (desperately needed to be done), started on my new tech blog AND the toddler declared that it was a GREAT day while eating dinner! That’s somethin’ right? :~P
So I think I’m going to sign off, watch Nostradamus, get the rest of this laundry done and possible pay the bills. We’ll see. For me a Sensational Sunday is defined by starting the week off on the right foot and I’ll feel so much better if I wake up tomorrow with all those things done.
Oh! And I am hungry right now. I may make myself a snack. I’m thinking tortilla pizza! :)

It’s always great to start out on the right foot. It gives such motivation to keep on trekkin’. :D I know for me, one bad day ruins my mindset and begins a series of several.

Congrats on a sensational day! Maybe tomorrow will be a Marvelous Monday?
I was wondering how you get your run charts into your blog from Nike+? Are you just using screenshots or is there a code or something I can copy and paste from Nike to my blog? Thanks, Roni!

I woke up too late this morning, looked around at my usually tidy house and thought I need a day like that-there is stuff everywhere. Thanks for this simple everyday real life post Roni! Sometimes we just need inspiration for everyday and you gave me mine today! Good thing I spent yesterday making and storing delicious healthy food so I won’t have to spend a lot of my precious time today preparing meals. Thanks Roni! Have a productive Monday too!

If we got one thing done over the holidays, it was cleaning. Well, mostly cleaning along with some “hiding” of things. (Nothing like sweeping dirt under a rug and calling it good.)
And I recorded the Nostradamus show last night. Looking forward to watching it!
Happy New Year everybody. It starts TODAY for me. I gotta work off that bad, bad week last week. I laid it out for all to see on today’s blog post…

House hunting is SO exciting! We tried to sell and upgrade last year starting in April. It is a GREAT time to buy but a really bad time to sell. Our house set on the market for 6 months with only 10 or so showings. So….I guess we will wait. Good luck if you decide to try!

Sabrina - You missed it! I talk about it at the end of this video… http://ronisweigh.com/2008/12/askroni_v17s2-negative-family-members-starting-to-run-finding-time-and-motivation-blogging-help.html
It’s not going to be too crazy… just an outlet to help others with blogging stuff, maybe some HTML and JavaScript tricks.

Angela - That’s what I’m nervous about! Although we may build so there’s a buffer there which may work in our favor. We’ll see. It’s is fun to look though!

Sounds like you got a lot done and made good choices. Good for you!

Congratulation on a Sensational Sunday!! Making the right choices is definitely not easy sometimes, but it sounds like you did a great job of it!
I look forward to your tech blog also! (I’m trying to learn more and more!)_

Sensational Sunday!! I am so stealing that !! I LOVE IT, and it can set the tone for the week, I tend to slack on Mondays with working out but whenever I workout on Sundays it sets a great tone for the week, thanks for reminding me!!!
Question for you about the Nike+ kit , does it help you train or is it just fun to see your progress? I am training for a 175 mile 12 person relay race and need to be able to run 10-13 miles straight I got the kit for Christmas and really want to start using it…but don’t want it to be something that gets old. How much do you love it???

Deana - It does help you train. It has training guides, or you can make your own. It even tracks your goals. Here’s another screen shot I took when I reached a goal…

Honestly. I LOVE it. When I forget my iPod or the batteries die I hate to run. LOL The Nike+ is motivating to me as I like to see the stats. :)
Have you used it and synched. It should launch the nike+ web. Explore around there, lots of cool things!!
