Goals for 2011 Checkup

Do you remember the barrage of posts last week from bloggers who were diligently making lists of their goals for 2011?  Did you jot yours down and jump on that bandwagon?  I know I did!  ;o)  So here we are, one week later.  Have you stuck to your goals or do you need a little reminder?

I know I can always use reminders so I went back and took a look at my goals.  Here's my update:

1.  Improve my eating and work on exercising every day.  I am doing very good on this one and have been watching what I eat at each meal.  I've also been exercising almost everyday, although I need to add in more cardio, I'm doing great on strength training.  :o)

2.  Focus on getting school with my daughter completed by lunchtime.  I have not accomplished this.  :o(  Every morning I set out to get school started by 9am but it seems like something always happens to delay it.  We have been getting a good deal completed though and we are right on track, we are just finishing later than I would like.  Will have to work on this one.

3.  Spend more time with my family in the evenings and weekends.  I feel like I have been doing a better job on this one.  I've been shutting the computer down earlier and spending more time in the evening off it and with the family.  :o)

4.  Take Maisy, our dog, for more walks.  Although we are not getting her around the neighborhood everyday, we are taking her for more walks than we did.  She has been sick for a couple days now so once she gets better we expect to get her out more.  :o)

5.  Take more time on my Bible lessons.  Not good on this one at all.  :o(  I'm still rushing through them at the last minute.  I'm going to try to make more time each evening for this.

So those were my goals for the year.  I guess 3 out of 5 is not too bad.  Always room for improvement, right? 

How are you doing on your goals for the year? 

 

Goals for 2011

For the past week I've been reading a lot of resolutions and promises that people are planning to make for 2011. I am usually not one to make resolutions for the new year, but I thought I would list out a few things I would like to improve on...it will be an ongoing list. ;o)

1. Improve my eating and work on exercising every day.  Yes, I know, isn't this what everyone wants to do??  Is that a bandwagon going by?  I'll jump on. ;o)  I'll be explaining more on my fitness and nutrition goals in a later post, so stay tuned!!!

2. Focus on getting school with my daughter completed by lunchtime.  For me, that means less time on the computer creating posts and reading blogs in the morning, and more time getting school started and finished early.  I'd like to schedule my computer time for only early mornings and late afternoons.

3. Spend more time with my family in the evenings and weekends.  This really isn't hard, but again, I would like to try to wrap up my computer time by dinner so we can have family time afterwards.

4. Take Maisy, our dog, for more walks.  We have a fenced in backyard that we play with her in, but I know that it would be good exercise for her if we took her for more walks.

5. Take more time on my Bible lessons.  I have gotten bad about rushing through my weekly Bible lessons to get them completed for class, and I don't always take the time I need to understand and reflect on the lessons I should be learning.

OK, so there you have it.  My first five goals for 2011.  I think they are all achievable so I should have no problem.  I'll try and post updates as I remember.
