Halfway There

Halfway recap part 1:
For #JubilantJuly I have checked 2 off my list so far, and I am 50% through Percy Jackson #4. I set high goals so even if I only finish this and the week of Lydia Bird I'll be a happy camper.
As for #bookspinbingo I have completed 4 squares and am midway through the two mentioned above. I hope to get BINGO at least in the 2 active columns.

Andrew65 Going well 👏👏👏 4y

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Great progress!!! 4y

little more than halfway through #deweysreadathon - here‘s what‘s done ✅
2 audiobooks ~ about 3 hours
5 short stories ~ about 200 pages

I had a catch-up phone call with a friend & did my bi-weekly shopping. Now, I‘m tucked in for the rest of the ride ♥️📚

How are we already halfway done?!? It has been a lovely day here in Maine. I‘ve spent most of it reading in the hammock. I‘m looking forward to picking my next read and settling in for the night. How‘s everyone else doing out there? 📚 - @Liberty

Leniverse Still going strong. Also about to pick my next read, after I have a gander at the bingo board. 😁 5y

phatsallylee Still going. Definitely going to finish 2 more books before it's over! 5y

mommyincolortv I've completed two books in a 6 hour period. My eyes are starting to bug me so I'm going to bed. Tomorrow I'll be continuing with Alice by Christina Henry. Ive had it for a while but then I saw a review on the Looking Glass series and I want to read it sooo bad. The reviewer strongly suggests reading Alice and Red Queen first so I will. Good luck everyone! 5y

So, even though I‘m going through a bit of a reading slump, I managed to do this! 📚 Kind of feeling a bit proud of myself 🥰

Thanks for all the support & encouragement to all these great challenges & their great hosts! Thank you to all you wonderful Littens as well, I couldn‘t have done it alone:

Who needs some extra encouragement? Post a comment to let us know.

#positivity tip: Positivity is not about forcing ourselves to be happy or masking our emotions. It's about changing the lens through which we view ourselves, others, situations, life. A great way to start is simply to acknowledge the negative thought(s). Acknowledge it, accept it, and then try to let it go. 🎶 [insert me singing here] 😉

Mitch Yeah... congratulations Lynn on finding new ways to move. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 5y

julesG Bite sized chunks are a good way of getting things done! 5y

sudi This is a great idea, i'm going to try this in week 4 😊👍 5y

Crazeedi You have been such a motivator for me! Thank you!!👏❤️ 5y

Chrissyreadit ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 5y

kspenmoll Love your positivity tip, especially your singing!!! 5y

Allylu I break up my steps, too: 2K at 10, 12, 2, 4 and sometimes 6. It‘s working for me. I will make my 40,000 again this week. 5y

wanderinglynn @Crazeedi 😘 Y‘all are awesome! 💜 5y

wanderinglynn @kspenmoll Be glad Litsy doesn‘t support video—otherwise you‘d see me belt out some show tunes! 😂 5y

wanderinglynn @Allylu 👍🏻👍🏻 it makes it easier to achieve 5y

wanderinglynn @Chrissyreadit ☺️❤️❤️❤️ 5y

wanderinglynn @sudi keep us posted how it works for you. 👍🏻 5y

wanderinglynn @julesG yes it is! 👍🏻 5y

wanderinglynn @Mitch ☺️ 5y

jillannjohn Love the idea of splitting up your step goals. I think I‘m going to try this. 5y

mcipher I love breaking up steps! Great idea. I will probably make some more goal shifts this week to account for life but I‘m plugging away and feeling good about where I am. And team #litnfit has been amazing so far!! 🤗 5y

Purplemoonmyst I did a lot better than I did the first two weeks. I am now. Pain free I will keep it up! I do the tone it up workouts and try to walk a bit more but it has rained every single day for a month grrr 5y

Crazeedi @kspenmoll @wanderinglynn singing helps the motivation!! 🎶🎶 5y

Lova Not going to lie- I had no motivation this week. I haven‘t looked at steps or distance but I know my numbers are way off. I‘ve kinda got the summer‘s almost over blues. 5y

Crazeedi @Lova turn that frown upside down! @wanderinglynn will keep you inspired! We are all doing what we can, and I'm sure you are too! A day at a time!!!😘 5y

cewilf Love the idea of breaking it down. That helps me as well! Definitely not as overwhelming. 5y

wanderinglynn @jillannjohn 👍🏻 let us know how it goes! 5y

wanderinglynn @mcipher 🙌🏻 Yes, I think the small teams have been awesome. 5y

wanderinglynn @Purplemoonmyst Being pain free helps a lot. So glad you‘re doing well. Each week will hopefully be a little bit better. Just keep moving forward, one step, one day at a time. You got this! 🙌🏻 5y

wanderinglynn @Lova it‘s only July 13! There‘s still plenty of summer left! Plus fall is an awesome season. (It‘s my fave.) You got this! 🙌🏻 just keep moving forward, one step, one day at a time. 5y

wanderinglynn @cewilf Exactly. If I feel things are too overwhelming, I tend not to do them. (Or I procrastinate indefinitely 😂). So breaking things into bite sized chunks, whether it be exercise, writing, or cleaning my whole house, has always worked for me. 👍🏻 5y

Clwojick I love your suggestion! I really miss my morning walks, especially on my days off, and am hoping I can get myself back I to that routine instead of shoving my face into my textbooks the second I wake up. 😂 5y

dariazeoli Great idea about chunking it up! And if we‘re singing show tunes, I vote Les Mis 🙌 5y

wanderinglynn @Clwojick Walking/exercise will help you study. It gets the blood flowing, which provides oxygen to your brain, making it work more efficiently. So see, you need to walk! 😉 5y

wanderinglynn @dariazeoli Hm, not my musical. But can I interest you in a song from the portfolios of Rogers & Hammerstein, Disney, or Andrew Lloyd Webber? 😉😂 5y

It‘s also halfway through the year! 😱 I‘ve been so happy with what I‘ve accomplished so far this year. I will be upping my goal to 100 books, since I‘ll be hitting 75 soon.

Some of my favorites from this year were Secret Life of Bees, Poisonwood Bible, and Sarah J. Maas‘s Throne of Glass and ACOTAR series. 🥰

MommyOfTwo Great job! I‘m at 65 of 150. I guess I‘m a little behind 🤭 5y

xxjenadanxx I really need to read the Poisonwood Bible. I said I was going to this year, but I keep not doing it. 5y

Jari-chan Great work! Keep it up 💪 5y

🤓 A month ahead of schedule. I can‘t help it, I‘m a goals/numbers person and like to compete with myself. This is a true #blamelitsy moment for me. 😆 Before I joined this fantastic community 3 years ago, my one-year record was 52 (which, don‘t get me wrong, is awesome), however, my reading has increased so much because of all of you fabulous readers! What great influences you are! 😙😙

Kalalalatja Litsy is such a big motivator! Well done 👏👏👏 6y

Freespirit Fantastic work. I agree Litsy motivates me to vary my reading and has introduced me to some brilliant books. My goal is 50 so I'm in awe of everyone else's goals! (edited) 6y

Graciouswarriorprincess Fabulous! 6y

britt_brooke @HeatherBookNerd @baes @BarbaraBB Audiobooks account for probably half. That‘s the only way I have time for this many. 😄🎧 6y

britt_brooke @RealLifeReading @CoverToCoverGirl @marleed @Kalalalatja @Graciouswarriorprincess Thanks!! 🥰 6y

britt_brooke @Cinfhen It IS a challenge. I try to do them right away, but it doesn‘t always work out. It helps that my reviews are super short. 😆 6y

britt_brooke @Freespirit Litsy is the reason I started reading graphic novels and listening audiobooks in addition to physical and ebooks. There‘s so much more out there than I ever realized. 💚 6y

I'm finally over halfway through my GoodReads reading challenge, though I am behind a bit. Well, a month behind. Need to hustle to finish before the end of the year. This is $127 in my book savings money bank, gonna be able to buy a few books for myself at the end of the year!🎉 #readingchallenge #adollarforeverybookread

LeslieO Wow! That's quite a goal! I'm halfway through mine to but mine is only 50 for the year. 7y

robinb @Lizpixie ❤️this idea for a little Christmas bonus at the end of the year! @LeslieO my GR goal was 50 as well, and I'm currently at 73. This was my first year to keep up with it...obviously I lowballed it! 😂 (edited) 7y

quirkyreader Keep on going. My goal was 100 but now I'm almost at 300. 7y
