The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It’s a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on my blog and share news about what’s coming up in the week ahead.


This past week on FYFA (and in my life):

Reminder – Enter my 8th blogoversary giveaway! And check out the new Pre-Order Campaign Page

  • I finished the first draft of my MG in verse! I’m so excited!! Those of you who frequent my blog know that this was a goal for me in 2020, and then… well… 2020 happened. Honestly, I was really struggling with this book, and I was half tempted to give up. But this week, I actually did it. I finished! I still need to go back and do some editing. I’m definitely not “done,” but I am a major step closer!!
  • We got a NordicTrack S22i exercise bike!
    • I’ve been terrible about working out for the past year or so, and we decided it was time to get back to it. My husband has never been a fan of the elliptical (which we got as a bargain many years ago for only $30 because it had a blown fuse that we replaced for $3), and I’m not crazy about the idea of a treadmill, so we thought a bike might be a good compromise.
    • We debated going with Peloton, but it can take 10 weeks to get one right now. Plus, iFit has fantastic outdoor-themed rides, which really appealed to us (especially to my husband, who would prefer to ride outside), and it has an incline to make those outdoor rides feel even more realistic. Add in about $1000 price difference (by the time you factor in the one year free iFit membership), and the choice was easy.
    • So far, we’re absolutely loving it!! I do wish iFit made it easier to know where to start and would help with making a fitness plan, but I found a couple of Facebook groups that helped with that. It’s only been a couple of days, but I think the whole family is going to get a lot of use out of this bike!
  • Blogging: I’ve still been keeping up with posting at least three times a week (including this Sunday Post), and I’ve actually been sticking to a schedule. I still need to give myself more time for blog hopping, but considering the fact that I finished the rough draft this week, I’m giving myself a break on that.
  • What I Read:
    • I finished listening to The Stars of Whistling Ridge via the NetGalley app.
    • I continued reading Legendborn.
    • I’ve also been reading my friend Megan’s latest manuscript for critique.
  • TV We Watched:
    • SupernaturalWe’re still watching season 9 of Supernatural.
    • 24. We’re on season 3 of 24 now.
  • The fluffs: As always, my pups kept me busy! I didn’t manage to take a single pic this week, though.

Here’s what you may have missed on the blog since my last Sunday Post:

  1. Congratulations on finishing your draft! I am just so impressed that you wrote a whole book. And yeah for your fitness purchase. If you and your husband (maybe your kids?) use the bike, sounds like a great investment.

  2. Yay for finishing your draft! That has to feel great and is such an accomplishment with nothing happening and instead everything has been happening. I hope you enjoy the Nordictrack. I have had different things and I like my old stationery bike and walking and swimming in the neighborhood. Have a lovely week!

  3. Congrats on finishing the draft! That’s great progress!

    An exercise bike sounds like a good compromise! I bought one a while back and used it a lot at first, but I had bought a cheap one and it broke. Now I’m trying to decide if I should replace it or go with something else. It’s a hard call, because we have very minimal space for any of the options right now.

  4. Congratulations on the draft! That sounds like an awesome accomplishment. And you’re not too far past 2020 so great job. Happy blogoversary too! 🙂

  5. Congrats on finishing your manuscript! I really need to, once again, get back to mine. I stopped for a bit because of pain due to carpal tunnel. It’s still not great, but it hurts a lot less on a constant basis so I’m sure I can get SOME writing done. hah

  6. Ohh exciting! I hope you’ll enjoy your new bike. Yes, Peloton is everywhere so the demand is great.

    Looking forward to reading your book! Still working on my manuscript but I have a cover and it’s mostly done. 🙂

    Good luck with everything, Nicole!
