Here were my resolutions/goals for this year. In red, you\’ll see my updates. 1. Improve my physical well being through healthy eating and exercise. I have lost 11 pounds and am eating a MUCH healthier diet. Yay!   2. Continue growing in my Christian walk. (2011 saw lots of growth, but some setbacks.) Growing. Never where I ought to be, but I\’m growing! If you aren\’t growing you are dying….  3. Continue my creative pursuits- writing, crocheting, sewing. Maybe, but not to th

2011 is quickly coming to a close. I made some resolutions and it\’s time to see how I did on those. 1. Lose weight. I think 15 pounds would be doable and would help A LOT!  No. 2. Get organized. Not so much. 3.Sell a crocheted item or two, or more! I did a LOT of crocheting for gifts but didn\’t try to sell any. 4.Cook four nights a week, and cook different things! Sometimes but not consistently. 5. Read 25 books this year, and document them on this blog. Success! I read at

I\’m not even going to revisit the list from last month. I failed miserably. Not gonna beat myself up either. Moving on. Here\’s what I am going to do- new month, new goals. November\’s List: 1. Participate in the Do Not Depart challenge (there\’s a link on the right side of my blog!) to memorize chapter 8 of Romans. I should have verses 1-9 committed to memory by month\’s end! 2. Hit the gym. I have to. 3. Maintain order in my house. This means going back to night time and m

You can search this blog and you\’ll find LOTS of times when I\’ve set goals, drafted resolutions, and created grand plans. It\’s the beginning of October, and today starts the beginning of my three week Fall Break, so it seems that now is a great time to set some goals in motion! I\’m linking up with www.simplyrebekah.com to keep me accountable! Now is also a great time to revisit my New Year\’s Resolutions and update the progress on them.Here\’s what I declared in January.

Two weeks ago, I posted the following updates to my resolutions in red. My updated updates are in purple. Yay me! 1. Lose weight. I did…then gained it back already. Oh, well. Tomorrow is another day. I lost it again!!! And, I\’m back on track with diet and exercise. 2. Get organized. Bwhahahaha. Right.I have actually worked on this. I have a binder with daily routines/checklists assembled, along with weekly menus and coupons for the grocery store. Thanks to FlyLady and E-Meal

Today, I tackled one of my new year\’s resolutions…trying something new. I went to a Zumba class. Now I realize I\’m one of the last people on the face of the earth who hasn\’t tried this, but I\’ve been really busy perfecting my couch potato regimen. In an attempt to make good on my first resolution (lose weight), I\’ve been adding physical activity to my life. I figured it was time to give Zumba a try. I sat in the parking lot for a while before I went in the studio. I was

I\’m almost two months into 2011 and feel that it is time for an update on my resolutions. It is kind of depressing when I reflect on them, since I\’ve made little or no progress…updates in red. 1. Lose weight. I did…then gained it back already. Oh, well. Tomorrow is another day. 2. Get organized. Bwhahahaha. Right. 3.Sell a crocheted item or two, or more! Haven\’t done anything toward this. 4.Cook four nights a week, and cook different things! Yay!!!!! I have been doing this

For me, the new year doesn\’t really start until school is back in sesson. I know the calendar has said 2011 since Saturday, but I didn\’t throw any confetti til today. Okay, so I didn\’t throw confetti, but you get my point. Anyway, I have been working toward my resolutions. Weight Watchers is going well, I guess. I\’m making some changes. I\’ve not really worked on my memory verse yet this week, so now is a good time to try. It is Matthew 4:4. I know this verse, sort of. \”

I posted my 2011 resolutions the other day. Believe it or not, I have developed a plan of action for some of them. I\’m reposting the resolutions below along with my plan for accomplishing those goals. The words in RED are my plan of action. 1. Lose weight. I think 15 pounds would be doable and would help A LOT! Twenty five would be awesome, but who am I kidding? I joined Weight Watchers online, set a preliminary goal, and made a menu plan for the week that allows me to eat g

I have very little resolve. You would know this if you scroll back through the pages of this blog and see all the times I\’ve assured my readership that I\’ll be posting regularly, then note that there is a four week (or longer!) gap between that post and the next one. I just stink at sticktoitiveness. I would like to blame it on the million and one other commitments I have in my life, like the kids, my marriage, my job, and church, and that is partially true, but the main th
