2011 Goals
i'm not usually one for resolutions. i mean. who really keeps them anyway? but, last year, i decided to set some goals for myself. (maybe it's a mental thing... goals seems more decisive than a resolution, maybe? i dunno.) the other day, i was thinking about 2010 & realized i had accomplished the few i had set (minus the weight loss. my body must enjoy being 30-40 lbs overweight. or old eating habits, i.e. skipping meals too much & making my metabolism really slow, are hard to break.) i wanted to get published more. i had 24 layouts & 1 printer's tray selected for publication last year; so, i'd say that was successful. i wanted to make a design team. i made 2! Elle's Studio and Scrap Again (local crop here. if you live in the area, TOTALLY worth going to! very well organized. i love the ladies who run it!) another goal i set was to read more. a favorite past time of mine that had fallen through the cracks in recent years. i think my total books ended up being 42. not too shabby! the other goal i set was to run a half marathon. i ended up walk/ running because i didn't get a spot until 5 weeks out and had not run in months. it was the nike women's. it was A. MAZ. ING. i am going to try again this year. local peeps (or not local, if you want!) i am wanting to try to sign up as a team this year. if you are interested, email me & i'll add you to my list.
so... this year, i decided to set goals again.
*lose the weight. seriously. it's time.
*drink more water.
*scrap more
*spend less. use more of what i have.
*do another half marathon, but more running, less walking. i, obviously, want to try for the nike women's again, but i think i am going to do the avenue of the giants. how surreal! just have to find out hubby's schedule.
*read more
*keep a cleaning schedule. (lame. i know. but since i am the only one in my house who cares, it's hard to stay on top of. i really want to be better about it this year!)
what are your goals this year?
were you and I separated at birth??? My goals include 1.losing weight (for-reals this time!)2. maintaining a cleaning schedule (cuz yes I too am the only one who care in this house) 3 decorating more, maybe even make more decorations. 4 SCRAP WAY MORE!!! 5. finishing projects or replacing the broken crap...with 3 boys this is almost a daily occurance! 6. make less excuses too many times I say "I can't do that or I don't know how"...so this year I will learn more I mean what is google for anyway! 7 oh and save my money to buy a camera...this may be a big challenge as I am horrible at saving money! :) As you can see I am a work in progress ;)
ReplyDeletemove more, eat less. biggest goal.
ReplyDeleteWow! You've done a lot of publishing! Way to go! I like your goals too. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy, my friend! I need to get on that cleaning plan though--I just wish someone else could do the actual cleaning part and I'll just do the planning!
ReplyDeleteYou had a great year Mandie. I was so happy to find your blog! You inspire me!
