Goals

I was finally able to cross all of my goals off my list. It’s been a little while since I’ve done that.

This week, we’re celebrating David’s birthday, and we’re going to get ready to celebrate Isaac’s birthday next week so I’m keeping my goals (hopefully) doable. 🙂

Here’s what I accomplished last week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Continue to work on memorizing two verses of scripture as a family

2. Spend time cooking with Elisabeth

4. Walk a total of 250 minutes on the treadmill

5. Read at least 5 pages from each of these books: Toward a Growing Marriage by Gary Chapman, Be the Best Mom You Can Be by Marina Slayton, and Influencer Marketing for Dummies (I won this book at a Twitter party, and I’m loving it!)

What are your goals for this week?

Well, I finally got outside with the kids last week, right after I had taken that goal off my list. 😉

But I didn’t end up cooking with Elisabeth or working out to an exercise video. I kept pushing off the time I’d set aside for an exercise video to another day on my Google Calendar. And then finally, I just deleted it and decided that that goal probably wasn’t very realistic.

I’ve never stuck with working out to exercise videos long-term (unless you count Tae Bo back when I was a teenager…that lasted maybe a month 🙂 ). But anyway, I don’t think I’m going to change and start enjoying exercise videos now, especially when I wasn’t looking forward to it last week.

Instead, I’ve decided that I’m going to focus on spending more time walking on the treadmill, which is something I feel is totally doable because the treadmill is located in one of our main living areas, and I can use my computer or watch YouTube videos while I walk. I love that.

Here’s what I accomplished last week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Continue to work on memorizing two verses of scripture as a family

2. Spend time cooking with Elisabeth

4. Walk a total of 200 minutes on the treadmill

6. Journal 2x

Home Management Goals:

7.Organize the toy area next to my desk

8. Fill a bag with items to donate

What are your goals for this week?

I did well on my goals last week, but I’m going to take “play outside with the kids” off my list for this week since the kids have been sick and the weather has been freezing lately.

Thankfully, the kids are feeling a lot better, and it’s supposed to warm up this weekend, which should melt most of the snow that’s been falling. In the meantime, we’re keeping ourselves occupied inside the house. 🙂

What are your goals for this week?

Well, last week, I got so sidetracked with redesigning my blog, caring for a sick child, and dealing with my own serious caffeine withdrawal symptoms (I quit drinking coffee) that I didn’t get all of my goals crossed off. But that’s okay.
