<< WEEKLY GOALS 5/4/15 >>

[icequeen]

Good afternoon, y'all!

Hope y'all had a good weekend and I am so sorry I've been so out of touch. It feels awesome to be back home and interacting with y'all again. I'm trying to do the best I can with catching up and I hope to get more activity on the sub board also.

So getting back into the swing of things, let's start with some weekly goals! Just remind us what your goals were last week and update us on how everything went. I know it was a bit slow last week so I hope we get more goals going today!  Please list any new goals you may have or state that you would like to continue working on the same goals from previous weeks if they have not changed, or are long term goals. Here is the format:

Goal:
Short or long term?:
Why is it important?:
How am I going to accomplish it?:

Thanks so much!

icequeen, hope you enjoyed your vacation!


I didn't have the chance to make goals last week because life just got ahead of me! So here are some new ones!

Goal: FIND A HOME!!

Short or long term?: Long term

Why is it important?: Well, last week was a very insane one. We found out we have to move out of our house by Aug 31 so the house we are in can be demolished and pretty much turned into a parking lot or a gym. It was a lot to hear, and I spent a good chunk of the week crying over it. BUT I'm trying to be positive about it! Maybe we are meant to find a house sooner then we had planned. So all good things will come of this I'm sure.

How am I going to accomplish it?: This week we are meeting with a real estate agent, in about 1.5 weeks, when my husband gets home, we go talk to the bank, and see how quick we can get things moving. Hopefully we can find something by the end of August if not earlier.

@erin2021, that would throw me for a crazy loop for sure! I'm so sorry you are losing your home, but I agree that this is just a sign that you have bigger and better things to look forward to. It will come with hurdles and victories, but in the end you have your husband and kids with you and that's all that matters. Good luck to you and see you on the BMB

I did not have any goals last week, but the previous week I had the goals of making a packing list for vacation and adding a half a cup of 2% milk to breakfast. I was able to accomplish the first and was able to do the second about half of the week. So... here are my new goals!

Goal 1: Do not weigh this week

Short or long term?: Short term

Why is it important?: MH threw away my scale like I had asked him to, and I am trying not to give in to urge to buy a new one. The scale is my worst enemy, so I'm trying to stay away from it.

How am I going to accomplish it?: Not going in the health section of the store or ask someone else to do the shopping for me.

Goal 2: Limit exercise to one hour per day of light-moderate activity

Short or long term?: Long term

Why is it important?: I am very exhausted and sore. I cannot continue to increase my exercise every week because it is taking time away from my priorities and making me sicker physically and mentally.

How am I going to accomplish it?: Not sure, just have to force myself.

Goal: figure out if I really want to start back work full time in the fall, and if I can actually financially handle it.

Short or long term?: short

Why is it important?:I I have to give my boss a definite answer soon

How am I going to accomplish it?: research daycares, have a serious talk with DH.

spencer1337, I think your goal is very important! Finding a daycare is super important and I don't think you can rush it. How much longer are you able to stay off of work? I would look at care.com and sittercity.com, too. Sometimes they have private daycare owners listing their businesses so it is not always just private nannies. If you join a MOPS group in your area, the moms there can give you some great suggestions because y'all are in the same area. Good luck!
