Donna over at Knit1Spin1 just did a blog post on how her goals for the year were progressing and I thought it was a brilliant idea. Esp. being 1/3 the way through 2012. Hoping it helps me to refocus and get a move along.
PERSONAL
Make time for hobbies that I truly enjoy Yes, I’ve been doing this.
Have more quiet time – relaxing in sun, sitting on beach, having baths, walking (when able) Yes, esp. the relaxing the sun and getting out for some walks.
Read and review at least one book a month (romances not included 
) No, though I’ve read quite a few non-romance books I totally forgot I planned to review them. Will get onto this.
Sort out all our home movies and put them into iMovie Not started yet
Plan a wonderful trip to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary in Dec Underway
Possibly try horse-riding (haven’t been since I was a teen) and scuba diving (had a panic attack last time) Neither yet
Complete ALL online classes that I sign up for Oops…. guess I can still get to them….
HEALTH/FITNESS/FOOD
Tackle my weight gain once and for all Not yet, I’ve lost a few kilos but it’s painfully slow so I need to take things up a notch and get more focused.
Remove all junk/over processed food from the house Pretty much – yay!!!
Simplify the way we eat – healthy, wholesome, homemade food, fruit & veg for snacks, make treats really treats Getting there
Work out more simplified exercise routine including yoga, cardio and weights. Made a start but need to get back into again. Hard with arthritis. Need a back up plan for bad days.
Try a different type of exercise – eg swimming, aqua-aerobics Not yet
HOME
Simplify homemaking routines Yes. I now have a cleaner (which has been a huge help) and seem to have developed a good day-to-day routine.
Revise budget and stick to it Doing well – back onto a cash budget system again.
Help the girls to develop, and stick with, their own routines This is very frustrating but I think we’re getting there.
Reorganise the spare room (again). Going to make it MY room for nail polish, exercise stuff, sewing, etc. Have made a good start
FAMILY/FRIENDS
Meet at least 1 new online friend Not as yet, though I did meet a heap of local bloggers
Monthly day out with Mum No, haven’t done this all 🙁
Weekly Family Movie Night (Sat) YES!!!
Weekly Family Documentary Night (Sun) We started, then stopped. Need to restart.
Monthly Family Fun Day Out Probably
Invite a friend over at least once a month No
Organise craft weekend for my friends No, not sure it will happen now
Have a weekend away with family every other month Did Jan and April
**** I’ve actually done a lot better with these goals than I thought. But there were a few I’d forgotten about so it really was good to revisit them. How are you all going with your goals for the year?
Hi Libby, it’s funny that we both have planned a US trip for our 20th anniversaries. We had a great time, and I can understand. Why you love Disney so much. It’s amazing isn’t ‘t it? Look for ward to catching up – happy to come up to your neck of the woods.
