Goals

I was able to accomplish most of my goals last week, but I waited until the last minute to get on the treadmill, so I almost wasn’t able to cross that off my list.

Thankfully, my husband took care of our two youngest so that I could exercise for an hour before I went to bed yesterday. I’m still working on getting up before Elisabeth, my 18-month-old daughter, and I haven’t been able to be consistent. I’m going to work on being steady with my wake up time this week.

I’m shooting for 6:00am.

Here’s what I was able to get accomplished last week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Take Breanna to get her hair cut — This just didn’t work out last week. It’s back on the calendar for this week!

2. Go on a fun family outing

Personal Goals:

3. Drink juice or smoothies 2 days this week — I only had juice once last week. The holiday threw things off for me diet-wise. I was actually doing well and had lost weight  (brought my weight down to 181 lbs.) only to bring it right back up again to 185.5 lbs. Oh well! I’m back to eating healthy today.

4. Read 10 pages of the book Desperate

5. Walk on the treadmill for 1 hour

Home Management Goals:

6. Clean the sink in the kids’ bathroom

7. Check out Restaurant.com and see if I can use some of the rewards I have for certificates to places we can eat later this month when life gets crazy

Business Goals:

8. Get caught up on work — There is one thing I have yet to finish that I wanted to get done last week.

9. Return emails

10. Write 4 blog posts

What are your goals for this week?

Last week was ‘Conference Recovery Week’ for me.

This week, I’ve started an improved work schedule, and it’s going great. I’ve also taken on quite a bit more work, so this new schedule is much needed. Besides a changed work schedule, I’m in the process of looking for a virtual assistant to work with. I know once I find the right person, my workload will feel a little lighter.

I’m looking forward to that.

Anyway, I managed to accomplish some of my goals last week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Take Breanna to get her hair cut — I have it on the calendar for this Friday.

2. Plan which days I’ll cook with the kids in July

Personal Goals:

3. Drink juice or smoothies 5 days this week — I think I managed to drink juice/smoothies 4 days last week.

4. Read 10 pages of the book Desperate

5. Walk on the treadmill for 2 hours — I’m struggling with getting on the treadmill. If I don’t get on before my baby girl wakes up, then she wants to join me. In the past, I’ve used a baby carrier to ‘wear’ her while I walk. She doesn’t seem to really enjoy it, though, so I didn’t even try last week and logged 0 minutes on the treadmill.

Home Management Goals:

6. Clean the master bedroom — Yay! Got this done, and my husband was happy and surprised to see that I was cleaning our bedroom! 🙂

7. Unpack our suitcases from the trip to Ohio — Ruben unpacked our suitcases before I could even get to them (which probably would’ve been Sunday night), so it’s done.

Business Goals:

8. Get caught up on work — I’m still working on this…

What are your goals for this week?

I didn’t set any goals last week, because I was attending the Savvy Blogging Summit in Ohio and knew I wouldn’t get much done. I did my best to get caught up on a couple of posts and that’s about it. I spent the beginning of the week getting ready for the conference, and then on Thursday we made the drive to Ohio for the first day of the conference.

I had an amazing time and learned so much! I’m going to *try* to squeeze in a recap post about the conference and share some of the best tips that I gleaned from the speakers and sessions there. I need to get a few more posts written before I do that, but I’m hoping to get it done soon!

If I forget, feel free to remind me. 🙂

What are your goals for this week?

After a short trip to Maryland last week, I’m looking forward to a week of catching up and getting up to date on some blog posts that I’m behind on. I had a long list of things that I wanted to get done while I was away from my family, but alas, I ended up with less time than I thought I’d have.

It turns out the two hour layovers weren’t really two “free” hours. They were mostly spent standing in lines, searching for something to eat, and talking to my family. The planes didn’t always takeoff or arrive right on the dot, either, but that’s expected when you’re flying.

Oh well. This is life. I had a fabulous trip, met one of my best blogging friends at the event I attended, and made it back home safely. I’m thankful for that, and in the midst of my busy week, I actually got a few things crossed of my list of goals.

Here’s what I accomplished last week:

Family/Mothering Goals:

1. Make a volcano with the kids

2. Read library books to the little ones — I ended up having to return the books before I had a chance to read them to the boys.

Personal Goals:

3. Drink juice or smoothies 2 days this week

4. Read 10 pages of the book Desperate

5. Walk on the treadmill for 2 hours — I ended up only walking for 45 minutes total.

Home Management Goals:

6. Clean the master bathroom counter

7. Organize the entertainment area in the living room

Business Goals:

8. Go on a short business trip

9. Return emails

10. Write 4 blog posts
