My sister brought over her boston terrier puppy, Miss Pugsli, for a play date with Phoebe. They're both eight months old, only two weeks apart, but there's about a 40 pound weight difference. Can you guess which one was the scaredy cat?
ROW80 Check-in
Baby goals proved to be very effective this first week of 2012. I missed one day of writing because I was exhausted but I hit and passed my goal for the total number of words I wanted to write for the week.
Total written words: 4,055
Here's the breakdown (mostly to help keep me motivated):
Monday - 522
Tuesday - 516
Wednesday - 421
Thursday - 1,144
Friday - 0
Saturday - 804
Sunday - 648
Not too shabby for the first week.
Goals for this week are going to be a lot different. I've noticed people are including goals other than writing and thought I would give that a try. Also, I am blessed to have the opportunity to take two online courses, one on writing fiction and one on reading fiction. The assignment schedules for these two classes will play a major part in my goals for the week, and the next two months, but they don't actually start until Tuesday.
Here are my tentative goals for Week Two, I'll adjust as necessary in my midweek check-in.
1) Write 2,000 words on my romantic thriller MS (NaNo 2011.)
2) Make a daily journal entry, even if it's only one sentence.
3) Watch one new movie toward my 50/50 challenge goal.
4) Juice veggies three times.
5) Get my butt on the treadmill at least twice.
Good luck to all my fellow ROW80ers!

Poor Phoebe! When we had our dog in Flagstaff, she would be all tough and posturing. But if another dog looked her way or started to approach, no matter how friendly it was, OMG, she would be so scared!!! A dog came over for a sniff once during a hike and she started crying like she was being killed!
I am going to try some fitness goals as well. I bought a belly dancing video from Target yesterday, LOL.
Good luck with your goals! Looks like you're doing a sweet job.
I've been perusing several ROW80 updates, and yours is the highest word count I've seen thus far. Way to go!
I also have an exercise goal on my list. Best wishes getting on that treadmill. Maybe you can watch a movie from there. (?)
Have a great week!
Mel, how's the belly dancing going? ;) Sounds like much more fun than the treadmill. Good luck on your goals, too!
Julie, thanks so much for the idea, I hadn't thought of combining them. Hope you have a great week!
