Goals 2007

Last year in February, I wrote out some goals. Now it is time for an evaluation.

Last years goals were:
Keep up my blog
Get to 138 pounds
Take a Yoga class
Plant a small garden with blooming flowers
Read 30 books

Evaluation:
I kept up my blog until taking maternity leave. So I'll give myself a check for that one.
I got pregnant and GAINED weight, so I'll leave that one blank and put it on this year's list.
I did not take a Yoga class. Minus 1.
I planted two small gardens with blooming plants. Check.
I read more than 30 books. Check.

Not too bad.

Goals for 2007:
Get to 143 pounds (not quite so far to go)
Coach Chesney's soccer team
Really plan for buying a new house
Become more spiritually focused
Keep up Serious Tuesdays and Fun Night

Since the birth of Maddox, I've lost 37 pounds. (I gained 47 for the pregnancy.) I want to lose the remaining 10 pounds plus the other weight to get to 143. That should put me at my intended weight in October. I think it's do-able. Just in time for me to think about getting pregnant again!

Chesney is eligable to play soccer this fall. I really want to coach her team. I hope I am willing to sacrifice the time when it comes. It shouldn't be a problem.

Cory's goal is to be in a new house by the time Chesney starts Kindergarten (Aug 2008). That is 18 months away. With only about $300 saved (since medical bills), I don't think we're on the right path. Time shall tell.

I taught CCD classes last year and we pray before every meal, but I want to improve myself in this area. Mostly for more inner peace.

The Serious Tuesday and Fun Night are for Cory and I to work on. I won't say anymore about it for now.

Wish me luck!

Good luck with the goals. I think you should read Suze Orman's book on financial planning - it's easy to understand, and she has some very good planning advise.
