6 month checkup

Organized in 2013 update.

Half way through the year and I have gotten off track! Still have some of the same goals and now that summer break is here its a great time for new beginnings. Hopefully this week will be a great start to getting back on the schedule I had from Jan-March. April, May, & 1/2 of June were so hectic that I didn't follow any plan besides do whatever you can as you can.

Jeremiah and are now both Pescatarians going on 2 months. He probably misses meat more than I do. :) I love how much better I feel, but I really think I may need to limit the milk in my life but gosh I love cheese! :/ I haven't been eating well but I'm at least maintaining the same weight.

I haven't ran consistently in forever and I miss it. School and internship really kicked my butt the past couple months but I really just gotta quit the excuses and just do it.

My house is messy. Not as messy as I use to be but I had a nice cleaning/washing schedule going for a while.

Well I won't continue this rant on how unsuccessful I've been because the way I see it, if I get back on track and stay consistent for the remainder of 2013 that will mean I only slacked on my "organized in 2013" goals for 2 1/2 months.

So here I go again...

Organized in 2013

February is almost gone...my resolution at the beginning of January was one of those resolutions that included a bunch of other ones. I decided if I just got this one thing down, then all my goals would come to pass...and almost two months in, I think I am right! My goal was to get organized in 2013! I have reorganized the way I do EVERYTHING! And I am liking the fruit that has come from it, thus far. In the past two months I have changed the way I spend my time, money, and energy. I plan ahead, I make sacrifices, and I discipline myself by practicing self control!(Well this one technically just started last week...but hey its still early in the year.) I decided I will write a bit each month on my progress here, this will help me with one of my other goals- to keep a blog. =)

Some of my goals which all fall under the Umbrella of ORGANIZATION-

Run 1 1/2 marathon...in progress I have ran 57 miles in 2013 so far.

Lose 30 lbs...I won't comment on this until I am half way to my goal.

Memorize two scriptures a month with my family- 2 for 2. =)

Save money- I am staring an incentive savings program which begins on 3/5/13.

Be a better homeschooler- in progress

Keep a clean home- My husband says in 2 months I have gone from an F to a C to just recently a B+! =]
(I'm really an unorganized person)

Make a menu and cook different yummy dinners in order to save money, eat healthier, limit fast food- Check!

Date night with each of my family members once a week- so far so good

Bible Study with my daughters individually- this has been a struggle with my teen but...it's a work in progress

Pray more- I don't think we can every pray enough so this will always be an area for growth for me.

Straight A's- Been working on staying ahead of school assignments so far so good.

Write one letter/card a week- check

Read 2 books a month- With school it's been too hard but I have read one a month.
