New Year's Goals - update!

  • Lose a minimum of another 20 pounds (I did this last year, and would like to see more!) Only 15 more pounds to go!!!
  • Get a full physical 
  • Exercise 3 times a week (on the way....enrolled in Zumba already, wishing my SIL would too!) This is more and more consistent - not perfect, but getting there!
  • Save $4000 - now that Hubby's job is stable, I would like to see at least this much in savings...after paying off our "bank of mom and dad" loans, lol!  We have exceeded this goal. Unfortunately, it is because of the car accident, but hey - we have a savings and its growing.....maybe I need to set a new goal here!
  • Straight A's (again, this semester - and Dean's List too!) This is also, well on it's way - so far, only A's!!
  • Attend one weekly Mass - we attend Mass on Sundays, no if's and's or butt's - so now I would like to attend a weekly Mass too - the kids go every Wed, but I would like to go as well and keep doing it through the summer. This is happening more often than not - YAY!!!
  • Start a better prayer regimen - right now, this is a little sporadic and I would like it to be more consistent. This is more consistent too!
  • More family time - even if it means JUST our family, sitting down and playing a game or watching a movie - the kids are growing too fast - next year "the baby boy" is starting Jr. High!! This is happening on a very regular basis - still, we will ALWAYS work on it, but we have already started planning summer schedules too, which always means more family time!
  • More fresh fruits and veggies....we lag a little in this area and need to round it out Doing much better in this area - always need to keep an eye on this though! ;)
  • Purge more often - I am a saver by nature, but would like to get a little more organized, which means a little more purging! Spring makes this easy - we are getting rid of LOTS of stuff all the time now - and I'm getting better at just getting rid of something instead of saving for a "just in case" moment!
