Nearly 10 months ago, I made these goals. How's it going? Hmmm...
- take a quilting class, running clinic, cake decorating class and photography class.
Wow. I haven't taken a single thing. I remember looking into it many months ago and finding that most of the classes were right during bedtime and I didn't want to be gone for that when Presley was so young. What's my excuse now?
- start working out again.
Ah ha! After failing miserable at my first goal, I'm happy to report that I'm working out intensely 4-5 times a week. I'm in the best shape of my life. Working out has become something I enjoy doing and not just something I do because I feel like I should.
- stay at a healthy weight.
Give me a failing grade again. I'm finding it really hard to keep weight on with working out so hard, chasing after 2 busy girls and breastfeeding. Cutting out sugar probably didn't help my calorie intake either.
- Skype with family and friends regularly.
Ahem. Anybody???
- keep stepping outside my boundaries with books.
This is a fun one. I've pretty much been reading anything anyone will recommend to me.
- have a regular date night.
This is hard to do with no family nearby. Whenever someone visits for a few days, we take advantage. So, we've definitely gone on more than last year...but not a lot. I've got a lead on a really good babysitter who has just moved to Lethbridge to go to University so hopefully this improves even more in the next few months.
- try a new recipe once a month.
I've loved this. I don't know that I'll continue next year since I've found a lot of really good recipes to add to my repertoire already.
- spend one on one time with each girl.
Once a week, we each take a girl and do something fun. Sometimes it's a walk, sometimes it's the park, sometimes it's shopping and sometimes it's just hanging out. But, it's one on one. Wednesdays Shawn takes Samara and I take Presley and Thursdays Shawn takes Presley and I take Samara.
- to relax more.
Not exactly. What does that even mean? I said I vowed not to let things overwhelm me. That happens on a regular basis. I'm Type A!
Well, not bad. Not great but not bad. How are you doing with your goals/resolutions for the year?

My manners are still atrocious.
Hmm I could definitely help with Skpe now that I have a new computer!!!
Catherine's manners are atrocious haha! I should write my goals down and actually stick to them - sigh! I feel like my biggest one should be: stop trying to make buckets of money, who cares that your husband is the bread winner, enjoy your life a bit!!
I wish I had a hard time keeping weight on, I just can't seem to get enough off. I get in a work out routine and then I get injured or sick, but I'm trying and that's important enough for me.
I hear you on the lack of dates, hubby and I do not know anyone here so we, too, have to rely on family visits.
you did pretty good!!!
Well, if these were my goals I'd be failing miserably (excluding the weight goal, wish I had that 'problem') so it's probably for the best that I didn't set any annual goals!
Let's Skype!!!
I can't beleive we hadn't thought of that already! The kids would love to see eachother and I would love to see you!!!
Good job on the goals. What a good idea to actually write them down to be accountable to yourself. I need to try that.
