I have never been one for resolutions, not because I ddont think they are important I just know that I most likely am not going to follow thru with them like the other 99% of the world.. I guess I dont want to set myself up for failure.. THis year I said my resloustion was to have no resloutions... Although I did set some goals that I would like to accomplish each month.. Same thing huh? I feel better calling them little goals.. Some of these I came up with during the beginning of January and others I added on as the month went by.
1. Set a Spending allowance and stick to it..I did horrible at this but will be doing a lot better starting tommorrow.. Serioulsy all my spending money was gone the 2nd week of january...I anaylzed where I spent my money and started making changes immediatley..
2. Pay my tithes.. I was very faithful in making a tithe and fast offering for the entire month of January..
3. Finish taxes before the end of January.. I did them all by myself for the very 1st time, and it felt wonderful.. Except that they were rejected twice and my mom ended up having to help me..
4. Finish an entire book.. I didnt make this goal till half way thru January so I am giving myself a little more time to finish.. I truly have enjoyed this it actually gets me to keep the tv off for an extended period of time..I am reading a book by Sheri Dew called "God wants a powerful people." Very good.
5. Send hand written notes to someone.. I sent thank you cards to my family for the christmas gifts I recieved as well as thanking them for spending time with me.
6. Finish my Visiting teaching before the last day of the month.. I have an amazing VT compainon and we got our teaching done last week...
7. Keep my apartment in a more orderly fashion.. I continue to work hard at keeping my place clean and orderly..
8. Limit eating out to once or twice a week, my budget went quickly mainly because I was eating fast food way too often.. So half way thru I made a menu and a grocery list and have stuck it pretty closely.. I still need to improve but WAY better..
9. Eat breakfast! I have never done this.. I hate breakfast but I have been making and taking with me a carnation instant breakfast every morning.. and its crazy how much more energy I have..
10. Lose 7 pounds every month.. Yes this month I lost 8 woohoo.. and I did it all in a week, thanks to the start of the get fit challenge..
January went by very slowly, but I feel I accomplished much.. now heres to Feburary..
