My goals for the month of January:
To save money:
- I will make tortillas, bagels, bread crumbs.
- Will not buy ice cream, microwave popcorn, colas, or chocolate bars.
- Go to the grocery store only once during the week.
- Make a menu plan.
- Return all library books on time.
Health:
- Loose 5 pounds. A lofty goal, since I ate my husband’s brownie for breakfast today.
- Drink lots of water.
- Stop drinking coffee. It really isn’t coffee, because it is more sugar and half/half.
- Get back to hot tea.
- Dairy Free – doing this with Pea #2. More on that at another time.
- Take daily vitamins
Organization:
- Wake up at 5:00am. This starts 1/7/2012 when we are all back to work and school.
- Bed time 10:00p. Lofty goal is 9:30p.
- Make a menu plan
- Clean out two kitchen drawers
- Work on getting the husband signed up for Google calendar
Spiritual
- Daily devotional, already two days late on this one.
Those are really good goals.
Good luck!
Some good goals! I like this devotional that I get in my email every day. http://www.dailyintheword.org/ (link at bottom) Some really good stuff. Thought provoking!
Thanks for the link. I’ll check it out later, but I really do not like on-line and/or email devotionals. I like a book in the hand.
I usually do too! Love books rather than anything digital. This devotional is just an exception.
Wake up at 5am? Dude. Why?
Other than that, this are very similar to my own list, which seems to keep growing as I cast around and find all the ways in which I can improve myself. Tired already. I shall be very interested in your recipe/tutorial on making tortillas, which I keep meaning to do.
But 5 am. That’s cray-cray, yo.
Looks great except the 5am revelry call…….I can barely drag out of bed at 7am.
That seems like a very doable list. Except the 5 am thing. I’m with Deb…that’s crazy!
My first goal is to put away my Christmas decorations. I’m going to miss them, at first, then I will enjoy the simple views of unclutteredness.
I like your idea of monthly goals….more doable.
Getting up at 5am was nice for me when I did it, I could be at the ymca by 5:30am, work out, pick up groceries and be home by 7am. Unfortunately, I don’t get up at 5 anymore, lately it is more like 7am. 7am does not work as well as 5am, but it’s better than 9 or 10am, which is what I do when I stay up until 3am.
I want to lose 3.3lb this month or 10lb by April.
Coffee, you don’t like it black? That’s how I drink it, black, I don’t like it with cream and sugar. When I run out of coffee, I start drinking hot tea, plain, of course, I don’t like sugar or cream in it either.
These are nice goals; too bad we no longer have a private forum from which we could encourage each other.
Google calendar – I’m actively using google calendar recently because of how it works seamlessly with the android tablet that I have.
I think you’re my twin. Except I need to lose more weight than you do! All the best to you on your goals!
LOL I have more than that to lose. Jan is just 5 pounds. Next month will be another 5 pounds and so on…
Soooo, how’d it go, Applie?
Not well. I’ll post something on this soon.
I thought it was brave just to post your goals!
