Jumpstart on 2012

by Susan on December 30, 2011 · 2 comments

Well here we are at the end of the year with the New Year just around the corner. I don’t know about you but I love this time of year. The craziness of the holiday season is over, it’s time to put all the decorations away and take down the tree and get the house back to normal. Each year I take time to think about what I have accomplished and what goals I want to make for myself for the year to come.

I’m like my husband and don’t like using the word “resolutions” rarely work. These are realistic goals that I want to hit and I put them in a spot that I can look at them frequently. It reminds me to keep at them. It’s amazing how many goals you’ll reach just by writing them down. If you don’t believe me, try it this year. Write down 5 things you want to improve in your life and look back next year at this time. You’ll be proud I promise.

Here are my personal goals for 2012, maybe reading this will spark some ideas for your personal goals.

  • Get back into working out and hitting the gym at least 2x a week.*
  • Getting more involved in our Church. (serving, life groups)
  • Develop a better relationship with god and members of the church
  • Swim lessons with Caden to get him ready for the pool and lake this summer
  • Spend more time with Nate, date night 2x a month
  • Cook at least 2x a week
  • Start taking every Sunday to get organized for the week
  • Get our house organized (attic, kitchen, baby stuff, Christmas stuff and Pictures on my computer)
  • Join Gymboree or something to keep Caden occupied this winter
  • Fix up our boat for Spring
  • Get Pregnant
  • Wean CK
  • Take a writing course
  • Attend a blog conference
  • Be a Guest Blogger
  • Become more involved with the community
  • Give CK as many different experiences as I can
  • Finish my pregnancy book
  • Keep Baby book updated
  • Do a Juice fast

It may seem like a lot but I’m ready to start getting these knocked out. In fact, today I’m getting a jump start …

The Christmas decorations are coming down and I’m getting organized!

And taking Caden to Gymboree class to check it out. I’ve got to do something with this boy, he’s all over the place. Speaking of which, Caden just almost fell on his face. He still hasn’t mastered the “getting down” part. Got to run! Have a great weekend and Happy New Year!!

What is your main goal for 2012?

Mine is to get my butt in the gym and start eating healthy again!

Christmas with the Kennedys

December 29, 2011

7, 8, 9, 1, 4, 8 No those aren’t my lucky lottery ticket numbers. Those are the times that I have to get up every night with a certain someone. Not going to mention any names but begins with a C and ends with a den.  Which is why I’ve been a little absent these [...]

How Did I Become SO Unhealthy?

December 21, 2011

I am not healthy. There I said it. OK, Maybe that is a little exaggerated but I don’t feel healthy. You would think I would feel awesome since I’m 5 lbs down past my pre-pregnancy weight and that all my clothes fit me. But I don’t. Maybe it’s because I’ve been cooped up in a [...]
