2018 Goals--January Update

On January 1, 2018, I made a list of things I want to do this year. They aren't resolutions... they are goals I have for things I want/plan to do.

You can check out my goal post here. 

I am hoping to do a monthly update about my goals. 

Goals Update---January

Ice skating, roller skating, horseback riding---haven't done those yet.  When I do them, I hope someone will get lots of pictures for me to share. 

There is a bowling tournament coming up in February...on my bday weekend. I'm hoping to get Tony to enter it with me. It's a mixed doubles tournament.

I'm still building my blog, so I haven't looked at affiliates yet.

I need to get my mile time better/more consistent, and I don't want to freeze at the 5K. So I haven't done it yet.

20 book goal.... I have read 1 (The Book Thief) and loved it.  I'm currently reading Life of Pi. I want to see both movies as well.

We are planning to go to Pigeon Forge in March. We are hoping to go March 15-19, but we aren't exactly sure what day we are leaving and coming back.... but we know we will be there THAT weekend. That's when the youth goes to Shabbach.

I need to find out who to contact and make contact with them about the Salisbury Symphony auditions. I did speak to one of the current members at The Nutcracker at Christmas. She said that auditions are in the fall.  (I need to get to practicing as well!!)

I have a book idea, but I haven't started working on it yet.  I need to get that on paper... or computer.

Every day, I have written something.  Not always a lot, but something.

I have started looking at different types of yoga. I hope to start trying that out in February.

I haven't decided what I'm going to enter into the Cabarrus County Fair this year.  I do have a little time since their slogan is that it's "Always in September".  I am thinking about a photograph or a scrapbooking layout....maybe both!

I want to learn piano or guitar.  I have access to both to practice. However, I may learn to sew with the Princess! 

2018 miles--- I am getting a lot of steps in with my new part time job, but my FitBit broke. I am hoping to get one soon....maybe as a bday present to myself! I know I'm walking a lot, but I don't know how much!

The Voice isn't going to be anywhere near me this year.  So, I'm going to have to do a video submission. I need to practice my songs and get someone to video me. It sounds simple enough,but I keep running out of time. :)

In order to build my travel business, I am going to have to learn more about it. I am going to have to learn the tools that are available to me.  Either that.... or I am going to have to find something that my heart is really in to be able to build it instead. (I'll keep you updated on that!)

As for the Krispy Kreme Challenge.... we are not going to get to do it this year.  With the Princess bowling, Tony working a lot of weekends, me now working a lot (most) weekends, we just can't get there for it.  We will, however, find something just as charitable and fun to do together as a family this year.


I think my goals are going well....especially since today is January 31 and I have some of them in the works already!

How are your 2018 goals coming along?  Leave a comment to share a goal and how you are progressing towards it!

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
