Thank you to Shallee McArthur for hosting The Healthy Writer's Club. If you'd like to join, go HERE.
All in all, it was a great week. I walked a lot - almost double what I did last week. I walked two miles per day (for 6 days) plus my regular daily steps.
Here are my fitbit stats for the week:
Total Miles Traveled: 24.78 (just missed walking a full marathon!)
Steps Taken: 60,334
Sedentary: 84.1% (I walked a lot, and I'm still getting 84% sedentary?! I curse you sedentary statistic!)
Last Song: Angel by Shaggy with Rayvon
Best Quote: "You may face problems and setbacks, but remember, God is still leading the way. He has given us the strength to be where we are with a good attitude. When that discouraging spirit comes knocking on the door, you don't have to answer. Just say, No, thanks. I'm keeping my joy. I know God is in control of my life. He will allow me to go where I'm supposed to be." ~Every Day A Friday, by Joel Osteen. P 155 - 156.
Every morning and every night I read something short but inspirational, to both start out my day and end my day with something positive. Right now I'm reading The Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo (mornings - a daily devotional) and Every Day A Friday by Joel Osteen (evenings - just a page or two). I have done this for years and find it helps to keep a positive attitude and lifts me up when things are rough.
How did you do this week?
What do you do for a healthy soul?
Any recommended inspirational reading?

I decided to walk to the library instead of drive. That was a 1 1/2 hour walk (both ways). Then the cold weather and snow hit and I was forced to workout inside.
I tend not to read inspirational stuff. Hmmm. Now sure what I did for a healthy soul, other than workout, read, write. :)
Those are some good books for inspiration. And almost a marathon - very cool!
You did a great job stepping it up this week! I love the books and quotes too. You are inspiring.
Stina, you are so ambitious! That's probably 6 or 7 miles round trip! And then you worked out?! That's just craziness:)
Alex, I'm always looking for the next inspirational book, even though I stretch them out and make them last a long time.
Thanks Julie. I'm on my way over to see how you did this week:)
Yay for you! You did awesome this week. I love that you're reading something inspirational every day, too. Taking care of our spirit and attitude is important, too.
Wow, fitbit is awesome! I'm terrified to know how sedentary I am, and I definitely applaud you getting out there and walking six days this week. It's so hard to get into a routine, and I love it when you feel like it becomes part of you.
Wonderful quote, and great advice for reading. Thank you!
