Meeting my goals?

Well, I can quickly see that I'm only reaching about 50% of my goals. I guess I shouldn't be too hard on myself... We did have a date night last Friday, I am back at the gym, so sore last week I could hardly walk, and just from taking a "little bit" of time off! We are eating pretty good. I think we have only ate out 2x this month and one of them was our date night with some friends. I have been reading my Bible and also another uplifting book. I have cleaned out some cabinets and closets and gave a bunch of stuff away. I haven't done any scrapbook layouts, nor blogged wkly (this is at 2wks) and Josh and I haven't went anywhere alone yet. I'm sure he'll pick ChuckECheese or something. Oh, wait a minute, I did take him there this month: Can it count when we both have friends with us?? That wasn't really what I had in mind!

Josh in the Top 5 in State!

I'm surfing the net instead of working... Thought I'd just blog a quick note. The new year is starting off good. I'm focusing on my goals, I put them on the refrigerator for all to see. I'm sore from working out again, that's a good thing.
I've planned mostly healthy meals for the next 10 days. I need to come up with a different kind of breakfast. I'm a cereal eater and that's not really a good thing.
Christmas decor is almost all out of the house, and I cleaned real good the other day. I sorted & bagged up 2 trash bags out of Josh's room when he went back to school. He hasn't even noticed anything gone. I gave it all away on FreeCycle.com
On a brag note; Josh got a letter from the PKC(Professional Karate Commission) that he placed in the Top 5 in the State in 3 categories! He is 2nd in Chanbara(padded sword fighting), 3rd in Kata(forms), & 5th in Kumite(sparring). We are so proud of him. There will be a banquet to receive his awards in Feb.
We have had awesome weather for the beginning of Jan 2008, unseasonably warm, rain instead of snow. That's OK with me.
I was able to scrapbook all last Saturday and looks like I'll be doing it a couple more times in the next month or so. I love these breaks from routine to craft and look at pics. That reminds me, I need to download Christmas pics still.

Goals

Happy New Year! Of course, I want to make some goals for myself, so here it goes...
(Not necessarily in any order)

Continue to place my trust and faith where it belongs - God
Accept myself, forgive myself, and get back up whenever I fall down
Show love and respect to people, even(no especially) those I find it difficult to love (I'm a bit afraid this one will be like praying for patience)
To post a blog weekly
To do a 2 pg scrapbook layout weekly
To read my bible or at least a Spirit filled book daily
To exercise at least 3 x weekly
To eat healthier & lose weight (I have a number in my head, but seriously, any amount will help!)
To have a date night 2 x a month with hubby and 2 x a month with son
