1. Getting my #bookfitnesschallenge goals even though it was a rainy yucky week. Also volunteering Wednesday, it‘s office work but I was so happy doing it.
2. Putting real effort into getting my house clean clean and hopefully tackling my craft closet and getting it better organized and cleaned.
I do love short and sweet 😆 #friyayintro @howjessreads

@wanderinglynn my #bookfitnesschallenge motivation
The top information I got just after the challenge started. My mom is the only other person I have told.
The little guy in the banana hat is my nephew, I don‘t want to be the fat aunt.
And of course Man Cub my motivation for everything 😊
I think I got this figured right with the points. I‘m happy with my week, I didn‘t let Man Cub being home or the rain stop me from getting my minutes in or my steps (those aren‘t part of my goals though). I did pretty decently with my eating, which also isn‘t part of my #Bfc goals, although I missed some ingredients and didn‘t eat vegan all week like I had thought. It there is tomorrow and I know now.

I‘m not completely giving up on ‘Hillbilly Elegy‘ but I‘m starting a new #bfc audio today.
1. Emotion usually. Whatever jumps out at me from the shelf.
2. I probably could on a train, a bus I don‘t know. I can definitely do an audiobook. I get motion sick looking at my phone in the car.
3. The interwebs and Litsy and my cat.
4. Coffee or water. I don‘t snack much when I read.
5. Tag you‘re it!
@Eggs #wonderouswednesday
Inside steps it is today. Maybe later I‘ll get a real walk in.

Vance uses the phrase “welfare queen” in his prologue/opening chapter. He may have graduated from Yale Law but he does not know what “welfare queen” meant/means. I‘m going to bet he doesn‘t even know where it originated.

📽 1966 Batman (there is a red phone connecting the Mayor to the Batman)
📚I can‘t think of one. I‘m sure the red phone showed up in the old Batman comics.
#manicmonday @JoScho
It has been raining off and on all day. There was a stretch where I could have gotten a shorter walk in, but I figured I really should give my heels a rest. I marched around my living room and got my heart rate up.

pickExcellent book. A millionaire goes missing, there is no activity on his bank accounts, his family and friends say he wouldn‘t just vanish without contact. What happened? Where is he?
#truecrime
This is an interesting book. #truecrime
Being single AF of course I had to build a book boyfriend .... and being me of course I wouldn‘t be his type. I do believe we would have a fantastic friendship though.

Ugh! Looks like I‘ll be finding something I can do inside to replace my walk today. This is one of those few times I wish I had access to a treadmill.
#bookfitnesschallenge
This is for @cassiopia I‘m so sorry for your loss. Hopefully my crazy kitty Isabella can give you a little smile for just a moment. She was thinking about jumping onto Man Cub‘s dresser from his bed.
Got my last walk of the week in! Thank you @DivineDiana for letting me know the map app, I go further than I thought I did. My main route is almost 2 miles 🙀
Stats: 6/7 days 30+ minutes average of 33 minutes/day
Finished 1 audiobook (the tagged)
Not bad for the first week 👍🏼😊
I feel good, the walks are getting easier, my shoes are getting a bit better.
Over all a great choice for me
@wanderinglynn #bookfitnesschallenge
1. I discover a lot of books while working for Goodwill. The tagged is one of many I purchased during my time there.
2. Yes. They were mostly about depression/anxiety.
3. Understanding Depression and yes for the most part
4. I don‘t know. 6 months perhaps.
5. I tag you and you and you oh and you
@Eggs #wonderouswednesday
I need to get reading I‘m still on issue 1 lol
I am doing my walk first thing this morning so that it doesn‘t get pushed aside again. I think I‘m going to try for a few extra minutes so at least my week average will still be 30 minutes per day. #bookfitnesschallenge #bfc
@wanderinglynn
Life happened today and my walk did not 😢
Dentist this morning for a quick fix on my permanent retainer, volunteered for a few hours, my parents were here building me a new bed, and I let man cub take a half day of school. With all of that my walk just didn‘t happen. I barely got any reading in today only a few minutes of my serial reader series.
(Yes I fixed the grammar on the Bitmoji)
I‘m enjoying this book. I like Vonnegut‘s speeches and essays as much as his nonfiction.
I feel like crud and I‘m tired so tired. My feet hurt, my calf‘s hurt, and my new shoes have chewed my heels raw and bloody. I don‘t want to be out here. I have a ton of stuff to do at home. 12 minutes left. #bfc #bookfitnesschallenge
@wanderinglynn
My Mother‘s Day gifts. Although no books (but I can listen to my audios on the Dot) I love them because Man Cub remembered a random comment I made after Christmas about maybe getting a Dot for my bedroom. The shoes I picked out and are from my parents. Sorry this wasn‘t 100% book related.
Trying a treadmill walk today #bfc #bookfitnesscahllenge
I don‘t love treadmill walking because I have to set a pace and I never walk a constant pace. I just don‘t feel like going outside right now.
And we‘re off even at my parent‘s. I could probably walk the entire town in my 30 minutes lol
@wanderinglynn #bookfitnessworkout
To all my fellow #bookfitnesschallenge participants Eddy would just like to say good luck. (Yes I gave the monster cut out a name).
#bookfitnesschallenge it‘s cool and occasionally spitting rain and it‘s windy but here I am
@wanderinglynn
1. Strength. I sweat too much for cardio lol
2. At home? Depend on what I‘m doing, walking outdoors is preferable anything else gym.
3. Music. I think too much when it quiet and I don‘t need to rehash stupid things I did/said 20 years ago.
4. Walking or biking ... yoga is good too
5. All time favorite workout ... reading until my arms get tired 😆 ... walking is probably my favorite
@wanderinglynn #hellothursday

@wanderinglynn #bookfitnesschallenge
📖 the tagged. I‘ve never read it though.
🎙 Foxy Lady by Jimi Hendrix - specifically the scene in Wayne‘s World when Garth is “dancing” in the donut shop. If you haven‘t scene it go YouTube it it‘s one of Dana Carvey‘s better acting moments.
📽 The Fox and the Hound - Disney always there to break your heart
#manicmonday @JoScho
Picking this one up, again. I‘ve read some of the stories at least once and the title story multiple times. I have 2 “bookmarks” in this book so I‘m not sure what was happening. I may just start all over with it, but I may skip the title story as I damn near know it by heart.
@4thhouseontheleft shared her points spread sheet for #bookfitnesschallenge, here is my journal page. I‘ll add as I need to if I need to. My goals are pretty simple.
Ok I‘m going to attempt this. No promises because well I suck (at least at things like this). I need to do something though staying inside all the time does me zero good.
Goals: 1 book/wk walk at least 1/day for at least 30 minutes
@wanderinglynn #bookfitnesschallenge
1. Isabella squeezed into her perch last night lol
2. Saga Vols 8 & 9 👍🏼💔
3. Reading, cleaning, moving my bedroom furniture
4. It‘s been chilly and rainy but supposed to warm up a bit
5. Your guess is as good as mine.

pickHOW DARE YOU BRAIN K. VAUGHAN AND FIONA STAPLES, HOW DARE YOU! 💔
pickI love a book about badass women who make a difference (which most badass women do). This book looks at women in the sciences and the best part is that they are women that are not covered as often. You will not find Curie in here except in passing. Focusing on lesser known women in science is fantastic. Swamy does cover Lovelace, Hopper, Lamarr, and Nightingale. It is definitely worth reading especially for a young girl interested in STEM/STEAM
Got this one today as well. I read another book about Belle last year and she‘s interesting to say the least. Besides I love a good true crime.
Who doesn‘t love a dystopian novel? And for free? Why not I‘ll get around to reading it eventually lol
EDIT: this is books 1-3 just to be clear
Saw this on Facebook this morning from My Favorite F Word is Feminism. #notebookaddict
