My first goal was to update my goal list each week. I have to say having a post on goal setting has helped me to stay focused on what goals I want to accomplish this year.
The biggest drawback is to remind myself that I have the whole year to work on accomplishing these goals. Hopefully you, my faithful readers will remember this as well and not get tired of reading about my progress!
Find a new hosting site for my blog and make the site secure.Done!! So excited after all this time I finally have a secure website! Now to work on monetizing the site.- Monetize my blog. Still on my to do list. Time to put this goal on the forefront! Be nice to have some money coming in for a change. No progress yet on this goal.
- Create a cookbook! One step at a time, get the blog running smoothly, increase readership and then I’ll be working on the cookbook!
- Be diligent about getting 10 K steps in 5 out of 7 days each week. This week has been a little different as we have been in Colorado on a business trip. No exercise program this week but we have been attending workout classes. Home soon and back to our everyday routine and hoping the snow melts soon we can get back to walking! We did have fun walking around Carbondale, Colorado!
- As we continue to prepare for an eventual house sale continue to de-clutter. Get rid of at least 250 items from the house this year! 209items to go! No decluttering taking place this week!
- Read
more25 books this year! Manages to get a book read this week! Read Before The Fall which is a great thriller. The book starts with a plane crash and the rest of the book is trying to figure out what happened. Maybe not the best book to be reading while you are flying, I couldn’t put it down. 20 books to go!
- Have a consistent meal plan each week and prepare ahead! A week away from meal routine is nice. Trying to make good choices!
- Finish
43 knitting projects. First project completed, second project started. Or maybe I should say third project as I do have the mini sweater ornaments in the works. Decided to bring my knitting with me and got a lot of knitting on our drive to Boston. I then decided not to bring the knitting on the plane. Expect to be finished with it soon!
- Clean out our freezer. As soon as we get home we’ll be finishing up the prepared meals I left for us to enjoy when we get home!
- Take a few road trips and visit family and friends on the east coast that we will not see so often once we make a move to the west coast. We came up with a list of three people that we would like to visit while we’re still living on the east coast. Now to take a hard look at the calendar and plan these trips. Probably won’t happen until April at the earliest. This week we have been on a business trip to Colorado. Been working a little business with visiting some dear friends. Have to say it sure is a beautiful state! I’ve been enjoying the scenery while I work!
So we’re now into March and I’m continuing to think about my goals every week. I think having them on paper and reviewing them each week is really helpful! This might be the first year I actually complete the majority if not all of my goals!
