2011 Goals Review - Month 3

I am waaay behind updating you on my 2011 goals.  I skipped February because we were in FL, so here's a recap of March.  Again, these are the 4 goals that I set for myself in January, for the 2011 year.

1. Read through the Bible.   I'm doing okay in this.  We are approximately 100 days into the year and I'm on day 74 of my reading.  I need to get moving!  Instead of waiting 'til night time to read, I need to do it in the morning after the kids go to school.  And to catch up, I'll probably have to read a couple days at a time. 

2. Exercise Regularly.  I'm doing okay here too.  I'm still using the 30 Day Shred DVD and "working out" anywhere from 2 to 3 times a week.  As the weather gets nicer, it will be tougher to do this.  I did move up to Level 3 and I couldn't walk for 2 days afterwards!

3. Scrapbook. I didn't do any scrapbooking in March UNTIL March 30th... and then I cranked out the pages.  Once I have all my stuff out, I want to get as much done as possible.  I got 5, 2 page layouts done (for a grand total of 10 pages!).  I've completed new puppy Rawley, Fall Soccer 2010, Fall Family pictures 2010, and Christmas 2010!  Yeah! 



4. Less Time on the Computer.  I stink in this department, but did feel like I did a little better in March with this.  Now that we have a smart phone, it's easy to get in bed and surf the web.  Looking at blogs can be addictive and there are so many great ones that I read that I don't want to miss something.  But, I also find that blogs can also stir discontentment for me... for example, looking at other's homes, creativity, skills, and feeling bummed because I can't do what they can or my house doesn't look as beautiful as theirs, etc.  You've got to be careful not to fall into that pit!

Way to go on all your scrapbook pages!! :)
BTW, I too get caught up reading blogs & I struggle with wishing I could be creative like that, have a house like that, etc.. I SO wish I could discipline myself to ease up on the blog reading, but I feel like I'm gonna miss something too! :)

Agree with Sue. That's how I feel when I read your blog too - so DON'T EVER FEEL BAD! Okay! If I may, I will now quote the accomplished Dr. Suess.

"“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”

:) Love ya!

Way to go on the scrapbooking! And #4--I'm considering having my husband take a part of the internet connection with him to work next week, just so I'm forced not to go on. It's getting ridiculous how much time I waste, so I totally hear you.
