I’m super de dooper excited to announce that six people linked up to this Meme last week! YAHOO! I hope that it is encouraging you all to reach your weekly goals.
I’m also proud to say that I did very well with my goals this week as well. My bedroom is officially ALL painted (after about 8 months of being in various stages of done), I drank over 8 liters of water this week, I blogged every day except Wednesday so nearly reached that goal, the buttons and guidelines should be working (THEY AREN’T) for Goal Planning Monday (you can get them here) and I should, if I can stay awake long enough be able to finish 2 Samuel tonight (I’m posting on Sunday evening in case there are any early bird posters out there!)
I love how Suzanne over at Fruitful Words broke down her goals into parts so I think I will give that a try for a couple of my goals this week.
1. Continue to get less calories from liquids. My weight is continuing to rise and while I don’t normally care much about these things I know it is because I am getting way too many calories from unhealthy drinks that I could be getting elsewhere. This week I need to
- Continue drinking lots of water
- Limit my other drinks to vegetable juice and herbal teas (which maybe a coffee or two thrown in on those harder days)
2. Finish Raudhan’s sweater. Should do it while it is still winter, eh?
- knit both sleeves while traveling to and from Sydney this week.
- sew it together and add the collar over the weekend.
3. Read 1 Kings, 2 Kings. I’ll admit that I’m slowing down in my reading of the Bible. I’ve found myself a few times wishing I could just stop to read something else for a while and as a result I’m not giving as much thought and reflection to what I actually am reading and really, that is no better than not reading it at all. I’ll slow down and do some other reading as well this week and see how that goes.
4. Exercise. Yep, last week I said it wasn’t going to happen but it really needs to. I feel better when I move so rain or shine (or snow) I need to get out walking three times this week. Maybe I’ll shovel or something or leave the kids with their dad and take an evening sprint or something. Moving does a body good though and I really should do more of it.
5. Work on super secret project. It’s terrifying but I have to try something new in the next week or two and I figure I should get a head start on it as I really don’t have a clue what I am doing so I may need several weeks to be successful. I cannot tell you what it is right now as it is TOP SECRET but if it works out I will be really proud and share with you eventually, I promise!
What are your goals for the week?
Sounds like you have a challenging week ahead of you. I will be praying for you concerning the super secret project.
Exercise… yup… gotta do it. Even though I gained almost everyday this past week… don’t know what that is all about. I am putting it down as muscle weight but I am also keeping track of my food intake now, too, which I was not doing before. I was just guessing on WW points.
I also did not do as well in my Bible reading this past week so I need to catch up in that.
Thanks for doing this meme…. it is really helpful and keeps me accountable for the goals I set. Think how much we can accomplish this year if we keep this up!!!!
Hugs and Prayers,
Debbie
Thanks for doing this Meme Katrina and holding me accountable
I too have been gaining weight — but, I know it’s my own fault as I’ve not been getting enough activity….time to break out that treadmill!!!
It’s “President’s Day” here….so, we will be taking it easy today and running errands.
Thanks for reminding me to write down my goals…that always helps! Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no vision, the people perish…”
I love everything you do Katrina…

Hey… did you ever make an apron for Miss Chae? Does Miss Morgaine still wear hers?
Are you going to take pictures of the fantastical sweater when you’re done?
Blessings!
Shannon,
Chae’s apron has been a work in progress (yes, a long term work in progress….I wasn’t sure if you’d still want it as it has been waaaaay long since I said I was making it…..what with the missing foot peddle on my machine). I can finish it but it will be shorter on wee girly now for sure! I also have Greyson’s scarf knit and waiting.
Morgaine no longer wears hers and I donated it (without telling her)…..she’ll be jealous of Chaeli’s!
I’m sorry, I’m so bad at finishing projects!
Thanks for a great Meme! I so could use the accountability!
Loving that more people are joining us in this helpful weekly meme. I know that it is helping me!! I am trying to figure out how to get exercise to be a regular part of my life. Good luck with your goal in this area too. BTW-I will be flying to Auckland next Tuesday. I will think of you. PS I can hardly wait to find out about your top secret thing. You are wicked to be such a tease.
I am a tease, Susan….I have to keep the top secret project secret for a while longer yet. You never know who might take a peek at my blog. BTW, I’m not near that Sydney…I’m in Nova Scotia, but we were seriously looking at applying for those cheap fixer uppers they were virtually giving away in the Australian outback last fall. That would be my type of adventure! I hope that you have a great trip!
I love that we have 8 people this week! I’m thrilled. I’m sorry I didn’t check in sooner. It has been a really crazy week here. I’m finding checking in here WAAAAY more enjoyable that the other things I’ve dealt with this week! *lol*
Hi. It looks like I accidentally put the wrong link up and my link is going to an old wordless Wednesday post instead of this weeks goal planning post. Is there anyway you can fix that. I think my pc is just auto-filling when I don’t want it to and I didn’t notice it.
Thanks!
