1st grandbaby

On February 16 of this year, 2016, I became Nana to Laila Polina, born to Chase and Olya. My first grandchildren are 10 and 14 and I haven't known them since birth so this is a new experience. I happen to be babysitting today while Olya and Chase work. I was going to write about it, but she just woke up after sleeping for 45 minutes...no long naps today I guess.

Goals: My Peak Challenge

My goodness. It is January 30, 2016.
Goals.
 Hard to set. I hesitate to set them because I feel like I can't meet them. That is not really the purpose of goals. So, I will adopt a new attitude. I will become a new person, yet still be me.
I have signed up to do a thing called My Peak Challenge 2016  http://mypeakchallenge.co.uk/about/ , which was begun by an actor named Sam Heughan who plays a character named Jamie Fraser in the Outlander series of books made into a TV series. He invites people to challenge themselves, which is something I really need to do. It is an interesting, but not new, concept. The challenge can be anything, but he focuses on physical fitness which includes eating healthfully. I know what I need to do, I am just not good at making myself do it. This might be the thing that helps me stay focused because I won't be doing it alone. There are many regular people signed up to do this and we are supporting each other on Facebook and other social media sites, but I don't do twitter.
This is my challenge: to decide on a challenge or two. Tomorrow I will walk/run around the block which is about a mile and time myself. Each time I do this I will time myself and hopefully I will see improvement each time.I will hopefully keep this blog posted!
