So the past week was wonderful, wild, and wee bit crazy. I’ll be sharing all about it later today… but I was encouraged that in the midst of everything that went on, I did get some goals crossed off my list.
This week is looking like it will be much calmer. I have quick trip to Little Rock on Wednesday to do some radio tapings and filming with FamilyLife about my book, Say Goodbye to Survival Mode. I’ll be flying out that morning and back that night, so it will be a full day… but I’m looking forward to it as I love the folks at FamilyLife!

Are you joining us for the 12 Months to a Healthier You Challenge? If so, it’s time for our weekly check-in to post our progress.
May's Challenge:
We're focusing on developing the habit of getting more rest. I encourage you to set a simple and doable goal for getting more rest and to stick with it.
New to this challenge? Read more details on the plan for this year here.
My Get More Rest Goal for May
My goal for May is to get at least 7.5 hours of sleep every night.
I'm also hoping to keep up with January's habit of exercising at least 4-5 times every week, February's goal of eating a big salad at least six times a week, March's goal of drinking 8 glasses of water every day, and April's goal of eating dessert once a week.
This Week's Progress:
Well, I had high hopes that I’d hit my goal of 7.5 hours of sleep every night this past week and I didn’t quite make it. However, I DID get one 11-hour stretch of sleep after I came home from my trip to Florida, so that makes up for some of it, right??
I hit my water goals five days, exercised four days, ate a salad six of the days, and had dessert two times. So yes, I’m not hitting all of my goals perfectly, but I’m going to celebrate the progress I’m making!
