Exhaustion vs Goals

Well, we are just a couple days into June and I feel like I am not where I should be.  Things have been so busy.  Church, soccer, hair appt, work, working out...ugh!  Tonight is my down night.  I refuse to do anything productive.

Well, not completely unproductive...I did read the word this morning which is good because I don't think I could have made it this far today without that as my start.  Problems problems all around and no rest to be found.

My workout today was cancelled due to measures outside my control.  My hair appt was the only appt I kept today.  It was well past time.  I got take out and we all just relaxed at home.

Tomorrow is a fresh day and I will be busy but back on task.  If I can find an extra hour, I will go to the gym otherwise I will make a point of playing at the park with Billy and kicking his soccer ball when he isn't using it.

I will read my Bible and do my 31 days to clean challenge.  I will try to catch up as I was already behind from not being home hardly at all.

Well, that's where I am.  So much to do and feeling pressured but also confident.  I will succeed.

How is your 3 in 30 challenge going?

June Goals

I am so excited to get back on track with setting my goals and hitting them.

I have had so much going on and  I can't tell you how much I want to get things done.

So, without further ado, here are my goals.

First, I haven't spent much time in the word getting filled so I can be the best God wants me to be.  I am going to get into the word daily.  I am not committing to read a book a day or anything like that, some days I might only be able to read a couple verses and others I might be able to read chapters.

Second, I am eager to build my travel business so I will finish my training the first week and then work the rest of the month to get more training and get quotes out to as many people as possible so I can book three new customers over the course of the month.

Third, I have packed on so much excess weight.  It is not fun and prevents me from doing so much that I would like to do.  My goal as it pertains to that is that I will work out 4 days/wkly at the gym for at least 45 minutes each time.  In addition I am going to keep my food journal up to date no matter how good or bad I do on any given day.  On the days when I am not working out at the gym, I want to be outside and active, hiking or biking or playing at the park with my little one.

That is what I want to do in June.

What are your June goals?

February Goals Update and March Goals

Well, as February winds to a close, I have to say, I am slightly disappointed but also optimistic.  Although I didn't hit all my goals, I am thrilled how far I've come.  There were a couple things that I planned to do over the weekend to bust them out but instead, I sat on my couch pretty much all weekend wrapped in a blanket with my Bible.  It was a rough pain management weekend. 

My last post was about my participation in the Bible in 90 days challenge.  I'm most excited to do this.  Yesterday was day 1 so I got up before my family and set out to read before they woke up but lo and behold, work needed to be done so I spent 2.5 hrs working from home.  By the time I was done, my family was all up and wanting my attention.  I did get my reading done throughout the day but it wasn't in the solid block of time I had hoped for.  All's good! 

So for my February goals,  I completed my reading goal.  I still need to get 4 boxes of stuff out of the house.  I have 1 packed and ready to go and I have the boxes for the others but haven't got them packed yet.  I will just add that to my march goals.  And for finishing my travel agency training, I am still working on it but hope to be done this week. 

My March goals are

1) exercise 20 days out of the month for at least 20 minutes each time.  This does not mean that I can work out fewer times for 60 minutes.  I need to be consistent.  If you're reading this and need a work out buddy to help you meet your goals, leave me a comment.  A workout partner would be a great motivator to get working out consistently. 

2) read 3 books.  I am going to finish Mansfield Park and read 2 other books that I haven't confirmed yet.  Once I decide on the books I will let you all know.  I think one of them will be a Robin Jones Gunn book that I am getting from WaterBrook Multnomah. 

3) find a place to sell my jewelry/crafts.  I have to find a way to justify the massive quantities of craft supplies I have and my obsession with buying them, right?  Along the same line, I plan to complete my pay it forward 2011 challenge and get all my wonderful friends their handmade goodies this month. 

What are your goals?  How did you do at hitting your February goals?  Are you encouraged or discouraged by February?  Remember, if you didn't hit your goals, it's okay, just roll them over to this month and quit stressing. 

I will be back soon to focus on my goals and success, keeping you informed on how I'm doing.

Have a great last day of February!

New Inspiration.

Happy Saturday.

I am so excited by what I found on the internet this morning.  So many clever, inspirational things to see and try.

I found a Bible in 90 days challenge.  The church that is doing it is starting tomorrow.  LOVE IT.  I have read the Bible but never all the way thru.  The part that amazes me the most is that it is only 6 pages front and back daily.  I can read 12 pages a day!  That's a breeze.  How bout you?  Do you want to join me?  So that is my new obsession and adventure.  Super excited to get started.

In addition to that I have found an ebook that I want to purchase to help me in getting started with selling my crafts on line.  I am still debating about that.  If I decide to get it and find it's good, you'll see a link on my blog that you can click and get it too.  I don't want to refer you until I see it's worth it.

Well, now that I have seen many wonderful crafting ideas, I can't wait to get started this morning on my own thing.  I hope my pix come in today so I can do a bit of scrap booking while the inspiration is with me.  Here's hoping!

Well, if  I am going to get anything done today, I better get off of here and get working.  Depending on my progress, I will try to post some pix later today!

Have a wonderfully fun and creative Saturday.
