<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: left;">During the summer I was hooked on fitness! I worked out daily – sometimes twice. Now that I am working from home, working out
is something I'm still figuring out how to fit in. It’s a big adjustment for me to not have as
much time to focus on the ‘fitness’ aspect of my journey towards health, but it’s
important to remember that this is a journey and that there is so much more
that goes into one’s health and happiness than just ‘diet’ and ‘exercise.’</span></div><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What do you do to promote your health and happiness beyond
the normal diet & exercise? I couldn't pick just one, so here’s
my top 5 Health Hobbies <b>BEYOND</b> Fitness.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>1. Family time</b> - I have been blessed with a great family. When my dad passed away last October from pancreatic
cancer, I gained a newfound perspective on the relationships in my life. I can exercise for hours and eat a
perfect diet, but at the end of the day – that’s not what matters. What matters is my relationship with the
people I love and cherish. Make quality time
for them. Hug them. Sometimes it’s the little insignificant
moments that end up meaning the most – don’t take them for granted.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: left;">2. Crafting</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: left;"> - I have always been crafty. I love crafts of all kinds – crochet, sewing,
stamping, scrapbooking, etc., etc. It
can be so therapeutic just to delve into my creativity. I have a whole IKEA room devoted to crafting! It is so nice having a place where I can just
go create. </span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The best is when you can invite a
friend over for some craftiness! In
college, my friend and I used to have Saturday morning crafting brunches. We wore pajamas, ate breakfast, and
crafted! We joked that we were preparing
for early retirement. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My sister even recently
had a <a href="http://thelifeofjenniferdawn.blogspot.com/2013/09/craft-party-with-brit-kits-and-yogurt.html">‘Brit Kit’ craft party</a>. You should
check it out on her <a href="http://thelifeofjenniferdawn.blogspot.com/">blog</a>. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>3. Reading - </b>Ah, the
exercise of the brain. “Between the
pages of a book is a lovely place to be.”
Maybe it’s the teacher in me, but I love to read. I have memories as a little girl standing
outside the doors of the BIG downtown public library, just waiting for it to
open. A whole floor devoted to children’s
books? I was in heaven! Then there was the time that I remember my
dad said “I’m going to the library.” I
came down screaming, “I want to go! I want to go!” I didn’t realize that my dad meant he was
going to the restroom. Needless to say,
I got to go to the actual library that day. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><o:p></o:p></span><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I am one of those
people that get so into books that I feel like they are my best friends. I laugh with them, I cry with them. When the book is over – I feel lost. “What’s next?” I think. Or… “I’ll never find a book that’s better than
that,” …until I find the next great book.
There’s just something magical about a book. You can travel to mysterious places, or just
deeper into your own hopes and dreams. Reading
can be an escape or a place of refuge. Or
it can just be someone saying, “I understand exactly how you feel.”<o:p></o:p></span><br />

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>4. Life group - </b>Every Wednesday, my husband and I spend time with
a small group of friends. Sometimes we
spend time in the Word, and sometimes we just fellowship. It has been so good for us to set aside time
to sit back and enjoy time with some of our friends. It may have been a bad day, and we may not even
feel like going, but we always leave feeling refreshed. Laughter is the best medicine, so they
say. And our life group has been a lifeline to the most important thing in life--pursuing a relationship with Christ and with each other.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

Pets</b> - That’s right—whether it’s really true or not,
I don’t know, but I’ve always heard that pet owners live longer and happier
lives. Maybe I just made that up, but it
sounds good. I have a 13-pound ball of
fur that lives in my house – she’s a Yorkie and her name is Maggie. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> I have to say…there were a few days in the
beginning when we thought, “What have we gotten ourselves into?” But, I wouldn't trade her for the world. She’s my fur baby and I would definitely
say she improves my quality of life. It’s
hard not to be active when you have a little ball of energy living with you! </span><br />

You can read some of the details <a href="https://www.thelifeofjenniferdawn.com/2016/09/my-sister.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Our lives are forever altered by the loss. She was such a beautiful person--inside and out. <span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">My heart still breaks that she isn't here with us anymore. No one could have ever imagined that her life on this side of heaven would have ended the way it did. </span></b></div><div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>But I know if she had been given some sort of wisdom to have seen how it would all play out, she would have lived her life very much the same. She loved the Lord with everything in her--all her heart, her soul, and her mind. And she loved her family, friends, and "neighbors" deeply. She grew from an exuberant, curly-haired little girl who bounced around singing, "Happy! Happy! Happy!" to a beautiful young woman who exemplified what it meant to have the joy of the Lord. Strength and happiness poured out of her--from her smile to the way she loved and served others so well.</b></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Since her passing, I have often had her very own words come back to me when I've needed them the most. At times it's been through a memory--a simple recollection of something she once said. Other times a friend has shared with me the encouragement they once received from her. Today her words are coming to me through a draft I just discovered in her blog archives. It's the only post that was left unpublished. It is my hope that her legacy and her words will be as uplifting and encouraging to you as they were to my heart today. Allison truly knew and understood what mattered most.</b></span></div></div></div></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Have you ever heard that joke - the one about how if you catch me running, you better check and see who is chasing me? Too funny! Well, I am not a big runner, but I am motivated to run when you throw a little colored powder in the mix!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This most RAD thing about is year's race? Well, last year when I ran - I didn't feel very good about myself. I made a goal that I would run the next year's race at least 20 pounds lighter. Well? I did it! This year, I ran the race about 28 pounds lighter. It always feels great to accomplish a goal. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Last Friday, I hosted a Valentine's Card Party with a few friends! I have started having a yearly one for Christmas cards, but a friend asked about doing one for Valentine's and I thought it was a sweet idea! </span></div>

At Christmas, I work to make kits for each of the cards, but I figured we couldn't go wrong with some cute paper and some heart punches. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">One of the biggest obstacles to healthy eating is often cost. Eating healthy can get pricey. By creating and sticking to a budget, it can help you stay organized with your money and lessen this stress. (It also helps if your husband is an accountant.)</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I am providing you with a <b>FREE</b> Google Docs template to use for your own budgeting needs. We love using Google Docs to budget because we can both share the document and have access to get in and edit it at any time. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><a name='more'></a></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b> How to use the template:</b></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>1.</b> <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuXcdChEpnWRdGc4WlhoZkJVMDkwbEwzNGEyY1FpSnc&usp=sharing#gid=0" target="_blank">Visit this link for the FREE TEMPLATE. </a></span></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>2.</b> Click File --> Make a Copy --> Title Your Budget --> Click OK! Now you will be able to edit the document and anything you type will be PRIVATE.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>3.</b> There are two budget forms in this spreadsheet. Some people prefer to do 1 pay period on each side of the template. Some prefer to put one income per side of the template (each spouse's income). You can also (like we do) just use 1 side to budget for the whole month.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>4.</b> At the beginning of the month - fill in the expected income and expenses. You can edit the category names as you see fit. The ones listed will give you a great starting point. As you start budgeting each month, you will begin to have a better estimate. You may need to revisit the budget throughout the month to make revisions. <u>That is okay</u>!</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>5. </b>Now it's time to keep track of your actual expenses. Some of our bills are automated and fixed each month, so we can go ahead and fill these in. We save receipts and sit down at the end of each week to update the spreadsheet. We also use online banking to help fill in some expenses. Make sure not to wait until the end of the month to enter in all your expenses - it will be overwhelming and you will forget! </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>6.</b> <b>Communication is key!</b> Make sure all parties involved are on board and dedicated to the budget.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>7.</b> At the end of the month, we look at where we were most successful and places we overspent. It is so beneficial to see where you are putting your money. It will also show you where you may need to allow more allowance for and where you need to watch your spending. </span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Entering Expenses:</b> If you have more than one expense to enter per category (i.e. 5 receipts for groceries), click on the cell you want to type in and start with = with your amount directly after. Then you can put + with each additional amount. (For example: =50.62+75+52.78) That makes it easier to keep track of the receipts and amounts you have already entered. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Adding New Lines:</b> If you need to add a new line, click the row number on the left hand side for the row above the total line (the row right above Total Income or Total Expenses). Then click Insert --> Row Above. That is to ensure the total formula doesn't leave out your new line. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Ready for the Next Month: </b>When you are ready to create a new budget, Click File --> Make a Copy --> Rename the Budget for the Next Month (i.e. March 2015).Then you can delete out the cells for the new month. You may not need to delete a lot of the Expected Income or Expense cells. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Please let me know if you have questions! I hope this helps you with your future budgeting. </b></span></center>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It's weekly menu time! Time to write down that plan and get to the grocery store. Not only does menu planning help me stay on track, it also saves money. I make a list of our meals for the week and then also write down all the ingredients I will need to buy. Then, when I am at the grocery store - I know exactly what I need to buy and don't end up just wandering and dumping things I don't need in my cart! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I also have learned to build leftovers into my menu. Who wants to cook every night? If I don't have enough for leftovers - I'll send them with my husband for lunch and have a quick dinner back up for the next night (eggs, rice & beans, etc). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> I am going to just be transparent and say that this week has been my hardest week! I'm not sure why - I was just hungry. I may have enjoyed some Starbuck's the other night and some pizza last night. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Overall - I have really done well! I haven't really strayed from my menu except for 1 night. I feel like healthy eating has become a habit again. When I did indulge, I really wasn't able to eat very much of it. I don't think it's realistic to deprive myself forever - otherwise, I'll obsess over it until I get it. If someone says - you can never have pizza, what do you want? Pizza! I just have to be careful not to let my 1 splurge meal turn into a splurge day, weekend, week, etc. </span></div>

I got an e-mail yesterday saying my Stitch Fix is in the mail - I can't wait to see what I get! It always feels good to get new clothes - it feels even better when you feel good in them.</span></div>
