Thursday Thoughts (whatever)
February 19, 2009
So the husband told me I should be writing Thursday Thoughts on Wednesday as no one reads them until Friday cause I post too late.
My response, "But I have the thoughts on Thursday so I write them on Thursday. Who cares when they get read anyway?"
"Then you should just call them Thoughts."
"But I have the Thoughts on Thursday. Plus I like the way it sounds."
"Whatever. It’s your blog."
EXACTLY! So here are this weeks Thursday Thoughts on Friday, again. :)
- I can’t remember if I told you guys how I actually collect the links for my "thoughts" post. I email them to myself all week and then on Thursday (*cough* – as in THURSDAYs thoughts) I look through the email, review the links and pluck the ones that I want to share. It works for me. The problem is I don’t generally take any notes so sometimes I can’t remember how I found the link or if someone sent it to me. That’s the case for this one. I have this great link to an article called How to Stop Making Excuses and Start Making Changes but I have no idea how found it. Regardless it’s a great post. Being somewhat of an excuse maker myself I appreciated the advice.
- As for excuses. I stopped making them with my running training this week and I’m feeling great on the workout front! Speaking of, have you guys seen the Physical Activity Pyramid? I never did but I think it’s pretty cool!
- Ok, no more excuses? check… More Activity? check…. What’s left? Ohhh yea! FOOD! How could I forget? This week I found the 10 Best Foods for your Heart according to Health.com. I love that little pictorial slideshow format, don’t you? Anyway… I was psyched as I don’t only eat all these foods but they are pretty much staples in my diet. Just recently learning to appreciate the avocado. :)
- Have you guys heard of the 3 Day Walk for Breast Cancer? Honestly, I didn’t until Elaine brought it to my attention and started the Breast Cancer 3Day Walkers with Robyn. To support my fellow BlogToLose’rs, I designed some shirts for them to wear on the walk. I’m also selling them to help raise money for the cause! Check out my post about them on BlogToLose and please spread the word if you feel so inclined! :)
- This week on SkinnyMinnyMedia I reached my 2 post a week goal! Writing 3 Twitter Tips for Twitter #newbies and Getting Readers/Increasing Traffic. I have to admit I’m having fun writing for SMM. It’s fun!
- As for GreenLiteBites I made up Taco-ish Soup with Couscous and Avocado, sweetened some pancakes with Pom Berry Sauce and experimented with Apple Bran Muffins. I also posted this weeks video, Taco Night! :)
Let’s see, other news? Ummmm not much! Do you believe it? I did record an Ask Roni today and should get it posted tomorrow. Other then that I have a product and book review in the works. Oh! and new, fun playlist on the way!
Right now I’m off to relax with the husband. I’m missing CSI!

I’m in San Diego, so I always get your Thursday Thoughts on Thursday (usually by 7pm or so)…in fact, it took me a sec to “get it.” You have readers everywhere, baby!

Wow, great job on the running training. And I’m loving your new SMM blog. It’s funny, I’m not a professional blogger or anything, but I still enjoy reading about it. And there’s a lot to learn even for the “amateur.” And I can’t wait to hear your next Ask Roni – I need something to listen to while I’m working out!

P.S. It’s actually only 10pm here, so I’m totally reading them on Thursday. I often read them on Thursday, because my blog reading is the last thing I do before I go to bed. Besides “Thursday Thoughts” does sound a lot better that “Friday Thoughts.”

I know this is piddly, but could you make it to where the clickable links open in a new window rather than redirect? I’m not a techie, so I prolly didn’t even say that right and there’s prolly a good reason you don’t do that already :)

I’m reading them on Thursdays! It’s my last read before bed! I have wanted to do the three day breast cancer walk. I don’t think I am quite ready yet, but have debated the one in Tampa or Detroit (I think that’s where it is in Michigan). There is also a over night walk for Suicide Prevention that I have wanted to do. I think it is in Chicago. However, I am just not financially ready to travel there this year… maybe next year. Anyways.. thanks for all of the links. I am going to look them over now and get to bed!

Well, I read Thursday Thoughts on Thursday when I can – yay West Coast! It’s only 9:51pm now :) Though, right now I’m on my Sidekick phone with superslow internet, so I will actually check out the links tomorrow. I guess I read TTs on Thurs AND Friday :)

Brianne–Right click on the link you want, then on the sub-menu, left click on “Open in New Tab”. That way you get to keep your “Roni” tab, as well as have the new link(s) in other tab(s). I didn’t used to know this either, but Roni told me one time….and it does help that problem. :)
Roni–I LOVE the “10 Best Foods for your Heart” article. I just bought some avacados due to your Taco’ish soup recipe and you talking about them lately. I’ve always loved avacados…it’s just that they’re not something I’m used to eating. So I’m going to start getting used to eating them. I do need to eat more salmon, and the flax seeds…it says to grind them. Does your Magic Bullet grind them OK? The rest of those 10 foods, I already eat regularly. So that makes me feel good. Don’t you just love the feeling of “healthy living”?

Roni…do you have any idea why I can’t get to the recipes on that article in Health.com? I’m looking for the recipe on the flaxseeds page, called Hearty Multigrain Bread. So I began looking for a lot of their other recipes and it takes me to “nowhere”. Do you have to pay to be a member of that page or something?…do you know?

Yee! Haw! I weighed 4 pounds lighter at my Weight Watchers meeting on Thursday! Two pounds a week is my goal and I stuck to it! My philosophy is, “I put it on, I can take it off!” I just have 6 pounds to go to get back to my Lifetime WW goal! THANKS, RONI….I’m using your Microsoft Excel Weight Loss chart for a visual reminder….I love the fact that you put BMI on the chart, too! It’s hard to believe that one pound lost is 3,500 calories! I ate sensibly and still lost 14,000 calories in two weeks! Can you tell that I’m thrilled!

Another great and informative Thursday thoughts post.
Its still just as relevant today (Friday) as it was yesterday. Besides, some of us blog readers get busy too and sometimes catch up on our blog reading on the weekend.

Bonnie–thank you! I am so tech-unsavvy, it’s a wonder I can ever turn my computer on.

As for me, I don’t care what day I read your thoughts, I am just happy that I get to read them. They are always so interesting and I learn something new every week. So there, hubby! lol
