Listened to the unabridged audio of this book. It was 2 1/2 hours long. I found the book to be insightful if you want to understand the mind behind your clutter or procrastination when it comes to your housework; however I thought the time spent delving into topics such as depression were a little out of place, but the author does explain why she covered the topic in the book. This book was more like a primer than a strategy, step by step book. But, I did enjoy it.

Well, last week was the last week of my scheduled body for life challenge. I have to be honest and I say I still weigh what I did when I started. The first few weeks I was off and running and lost week quickly, but an unforeseen medical issue arose which slowed down my workouts and distracted me from taking care of nutrition. My observations are :
=> that planning is essential to ensure you have healthy foods around you at all times so you do backslide to the convenient and unhealthy. => Be prepared for the unexpected. You can’t plan an unexpected event that’s why it’s unexpected, but you do need to have a plan that will help you get back on track or stay on track if something unexpected rises up. A trigger or something that will remind you that you have a goal to reach and you have to get to it.
=>Schedule it. Schedule your workouts and keep the schedule.
I’ll be giving it another shot. I want to do the full 12 weeks on track and on target.

Christian fiction. Over the last few years I’ve read mostly motivational, self help type books so I thought I’d take a detour into the land of fiction. I forgot how wrapped up in a good fiction book I could get. This is apparently the first book of 4 in this series. Picked up all 4 books on paperbackswap.com; so I figured this would be a good way to see what I was getting without a lot of investment. I do say that the book was pretty good, a decent read; however some of the plot was a little predictable. It’s about 2 girls whose parents run a sort of halfway house for ex-cons and drifters. The parents are found murdered and everyone is a suspect including one of the daughter’s husband.
I’ve got 5 books to go in about 7 weeks – I’ve got to get moving.
