20 + 10 Check-In 1/10/10
As I stated earlier, my 30 goals are a work in progress. I’m not going to hit all of them every week and I’m not going to be 100% on them every week and that’s okay. It’s not about perfection, it’s about trying and learning. And let me tell you, I’m trying!
So, how’d I do this week? Let’s take a look:
1. Stop putting myself down. Treat me like I would want others to treat Lucy. This one is hard. I’ve been working on it and I’d say that I’m much more aware that I’m doing it and much better at stopping it.
2. Eat something green every day. I was going great guns on this one until my stomach affliction hit this weekend. I ate something green every day but Saturday and Sunday. Once my tummy is under control, I’ll be back at it!
3. Eat 2 servings of fruit every day. Check!
4. Completely cut out dairy except yogurt. The first half of the week? Not so much. Now? DEFINITELY.
5. Get back on my bike. Not yet, but I did spin twice this week.
6. Do something only for me 1 hour each week. Check! I went to knit night this week AND? I slept in until 10 today 🙂
7. Do something with Shaun that doesn’t include me sitting on the computer and him on the XBox or us watching TV for 1 hour each week. Check. Although we watched a lot of TV together this week. I’d like to try and play a card game or something in the next week.
8. Dress nicely, including putting on make-up, at least 3 times a week. Check! I thought this was 4 times a week-HA! I did this 4 times last week.
9. Clean out Lucy’s drawers. I haven’t started this yet.
10. Clean out and organize the filing cabinet. I haven’t started this yet.
11. Complete Lucy’s birth book. Not yet.
12. Become a faster walker. If you can speed train for running, you can sure as hell do it for walking. I’m working on it!
13. Send out thank you notes in a more timely fashion and to everyone that deserves one. I have a box of thank you notes sitting here waiting to be filled out after I’m done here.
14. Lose 30 pounds or fit comfortably into my size 4-6 clothing. Working on it!
15. Save my personal money for a new wardrobe. There’s $150 in there and I haven’t touched it.
16. Be on top of my budget and update Quicken every 2 weeks. I’ll do this on the 15th!
17. Severely limit my computer and phone time when I’m with Lucy. On weekdays, I should never use them when she’s awake and on weekends, I should use them sparingly when she’s awake. Check!
18. Get the bird out 4 times a week. I only got her out 3 times. But I did give her a bath yesterday-can that count for 2?
19. To appease my husband, never let the gas tank get below 1/2 a tank. Check! This one is NO FUN but I’ve been doing it.
20. Improve on my photography. Hmmmm, I’m trying.
And the original 10 from the 10 in 2010 post:
1. Take time out every day to simply enjoy my daughter. Check! I love her SO much-this one is pretty easy.
2. Try not to look too far forward or lament the past. Enjoy NOW. Check!
3. Drink more water-at least 70 ounces per day. Check!
4. Use my juicer A LOT. Check!
5. Go to the gym more often than not. Check! 4 out of 7 days this week.
6. Eat healthfully-don’t put anything in my mouth that I wouldn’t feed Lucy. 6/7 days check! Here’s hoping for 7/7 days next week.
7. Save money. Check! This is going well.
8. Run to the top of Waterdog Lake Road, while pushing Lucy, without stopping and back. Working on it. I went twice last week.
9. Post at least 365 times in 2010. I can post 3 times a day or skip a day but I want my average to be 1 post per day. I’m on track.
10. Fold my laundry when it comes out of the dryer. It turns out I have to modify this one. I’m changing it to “Fold my laundry on the same day it comes out of the dryer.” Since I’m a Mom and Lucy comes first, it’s really difficult to fold things as soon as they come out of the dryer. It is easy to throw things in a basket and get the next load going. It’s also easy to do all the folding in one sitting when Lucy is asleep. I’m okay with changing this one and Shaun is too. It’s going well 🙂
So, the first week went well. It’s amazing how motivated by goals I am. I’m hoping I’ll keep it up and get even better.
How about you? How are your goals going? What are YOU working on this week?
