Weekly Goals

How did I do on last week's goals? I thought you'd never ask!

Family:

1. Spend time relaxing with Erik after kids are in bed.
2. Take notes on Raising Happiness and Learned Optimism. {Not completed, but to give myself credit, we have already implemented some good practices from Raising Happiness.}
3. Make doughnuts for Erik's office. {Well, I made doughnuts for us, but I didn't get up early that day and Erik did, so they weren't ready in time for the office.}

Health:

4. Track food on My Fitness Pal.
5. Get rid of mildew in bathrooms.

Personal:

6. Post signs to remind myself of critical, do-first tasks.
7. Start knitting doubled scarf for tree skirt.
8. Make Christmas cards. {Can I cross this out if we didn't finish, but did start? I was proud of the work Xander did on them, but the ones we're making are too work intensive for him to do more than one or two.}
9. Start sending Christmas gifts. {Have one packaged up but not addressed and another package almost finished. Plans are to go to the post office tomorrow.}

Hmmm, I am not super impressed with myself. I felt like I had done a lot last week. Maybe it was all the Christmas stuff we put in motion. So far, we have done everything we planned to do with the kids as the holiday season starts.

This Week's Goals:

Family:

1. Take notes on Raising Happiness and Learned Optimism.

Health:

4. Track food on My Fitness Pal.
5. Do the No More Trouble Zones fitness DVD at least once.
