2011 Goals & Resolutions

Spiritual:

- make more of an effort to get to church regularly & make my daughter go

So far so good on this one. My daughter has a friend that goes to the 5th grade group during church so has taken more of an interest of course.

-pray more: after reading The Help I am thinking of writing down my prayers or keeping a prayer journal. Another idea from a really good book I read Orange Mint & Honey is a God box, but I'm not much for gardening or anything of the such.

Health:

- Exercise at least twice a week. I realize I need to do more, but I'm trying to make my goals more attainable. Baby steps!

So far I've gone to the gym once in 2011. I need to just go walk if nothing else.

-Lose weight

This has been my goal for many years. I at least can say I recovered from the holidays and the last time I got weighed I was down 15.5 lbs from the start of this diet before Thanksgiving.

Financial:

-pay down credit cards

-stop using credit cards

*Doing a little better on this so far.

-save $500 a month ($1,000 collectively with my fiance)

-stop shopping so much, including online. Especially buying unnecessary things.

*That one will be challenging, but I actually did go shopping the other day to 2 stores that I like a lot DSW & Barnes & Nobles and bought NOTHING! I was amazed myself.

These are the main goals for myself. I have a few more in mind, but these are the most important ones for now. I started a vision board too, but still need to finish it.
