goals update

These goals are to be accomplished by July 11, 2014 (one full year from the time I made them)
I am currently 141/365 days into this.

Concrete Results:

1. Lose 20-25 lbs  ACCOMPLISHED

2. Start a Bunco group. (still haven't made an effort yet, but I still plan on making this happen).

3. Finish all four caked decorating classes  ACCOMPLISHED

4.Read the BOM, D&C, POGP (I have read and finished both the BOM and the POGP and am currently on section 42 of D&C)

5. Read at least four religious books this year (I am 60 pages away from finishing my first book)

6. Learn a new crochet stitch. (Have not even attempted this yet, but I did just make four minion hats, all different with no pattern.  Will work on this as some point though).

7. Cut back on Chipotle/Subway to only 1-2 times a month. (well not sure I will ever accomplish this goal).

8. Make $200 this year from stuff I have made. (so far I have received $130 and already have $150 commissioned, and am just waiting for the event and to be paid).

9. Run a 5K for fun ACCOMPLISHED

10. Get a job (may not accomplish this goal as in the end I will do what is best for my children.  I had thought I would have Josh watch the kids half of the time, but that will not happen).

Ethereal Results:

1. Get to a point where I never yell at my kids. (still failing at this on a consistent basis, but I am working on reminding myself, there is no need to raise my voice at all).

2. Give service to others more frequently. (Lets be honest, I have been very focused on myself and my children.  I have been failing at this one, but I hope to get to a point where I can do this more).

3. Eat healthier ACCOMPLISHED (I am eating better than I have in years, which is helping with the weight lose goal above.

4. Be more active  ACCOMPLISHED (I go to the gym six days a week; no exceptions).

5. Write more  ACCOMPLISHED  (between my journal and this blog I am writing on a regular basis, although I do hope to eventually get back to my memoir).

6. Know where I stand with Josh  ACCOMPLISHED (Him cheating on me pretty much summed it up).

7. Attend the temple more (haven't been since July sadly.  Want to make this a priority and find a way to work out child care that I can make this happen.

8. Get Dorian ready for kindergarten' help inspire a love to learn (some days I am really good an doing activities and teaching him the way in which he learns, but there are still a lot of TV days as we pick ourselves up, so I am still working on this one).

9. meditate frequently (not sure if this counts, but I reflect on my scripture reading everyday and the time in which I journal, but I do not allow myself time to just stop and feel.  I will work on this more).

10. Learn more about photography (haven't even touched this one yet, but hope to expand my knowledge on the subject).
