I tend do view the Tuesday after Labor Day as my last chance to get moving on my New Year's resolutions if I really want to get them finished. There is a little more than a quarter left in the year, so really there is plenty of time. What's a to-do list without a a deadline. Just a wish list if you ask me. Time to do a re-evaluation of my list and see how I've done so far.
Complete 2 Half marathons, 1 15k, 3 5ks, 1 10k (All but the 10k are on the calendar.)- Okay, I did 1 15k, 1 half marathon, 1 5k and I'm hoping to do one more.
Complete 21 Day Fix Extreme and Insanity Max 30- Done and Done!
Run 730 miles.- Sort of lost count and of course, I've lost the last two months with no running.
Walk 10,000 steps per day.- Working on it every day!
Use all of my volunteer/pro bono days at work.- I've used one half of one which means I still have 3.5 left. I better get to it.
Involve my family in 1 community service project per month.- I haven't done one project per month but I we have been pretty active and we' still have a lot planned for the year.
Incorporate essential oils into our families lives, at the very least into cleaning supplies.- I was gung ho about this at the beginning of the year and I need to get back on the horse.
Create a dream board.- So may parts of a dream board but no dream board.
Incorporate meditation into my daily routine.- Mediation is not part of my daily routine but it has become a small part of my life. Still working on it.
Take better care of my skin, specifically, hands, face, and neck- Slowly but surely.
Organize boys memory boxes.- Check!
Update the baby books,- Oh no. This would take me one afternoon...now just to find that one afternoon.
Make the following photo books: Alexander year 1, Year of 2014, Honeymoon, European vacation.- Uh-oh. Better get moving on this.
Organizing filing- No but as of two days ago I got my second filing cabinet in two weeks so I am on my way.
Start playing the oboe again- Totally forgot this was on my to do list.
Complete Pop Sugar Reading Challenge- I've sort of changed my goal to just read all the books at the Verona Library book sale. I'm not too bad but I better turn off the computer and get reading.
10 minutes of Personal Development Each Day- Yes! This has been amazing!
Complete nutrition/diet courses.- No and this is my biggest concern. I need to figure out how much time I need to complete these courses and how many hours per week I need to devote to this.
Learn how to take good photos of the family with more than just an iPhone.- Nope. :(
Be consistent with posting on this very blog more often.- Yes! (As evidenced by this post.)
On a side note, these are my personal goals. My professional goals and financial goals will be in another post when I talk more about my dream board...or when I figure them out. Well okay, here are a few.
Take my Beachbody business to the next level (One Star Diamond) by continuing to help others.- On track! But should this goal be bigger?
Evaluate my current job to make sure I find it fulfilling.- Yes!
Pay off Private Law School loans.- Yes!
Figure out where the extra payment from the law school loans should go.- No I've just been enjoying not cutting it so close but this money needs to be given more purpose. (Like paying off those government loans.)
Incorporate Dave Ramsey's Plan into our house.- Baby steps but want to have a big game plan before the end of the year.
Okay, so this wasn't so bad after all. I still have a lot to do but nothing a few focused afternoons home without kids can't fix. I am so glad I took this time to refocus and I'm not waiting until the last minute.
How are your resolutions coming along?
