I've sort of missed my 101 Goals in 1001 Days list since it expired in September. I like having goals to work toward and I haven't quite figured out what a good next-step would be after tackling that whopper. Certainly not another 101 in 1001 list...yet...
Then I stumbled across the idea of creating 12 new habits this year. I'm not so much into resolutions, but I'm loving this one-per-month idea!
So here's my list. Much better than resolutions! More attainable. Time sensitive. Focusing on one at a time for 30 days, which is how long it takes to make a habit. Love. It.
January - End the month at the same weight (or less, which is unlikely) as I am today.*
February - Get up early each day.
March - No Facebook for the entire month.
April - Meal plan, including one meatless recipe and one new recipe each week.
May - Stop eating each meal when I'm satisfied, not when I'm "full."
June - No eating after 8pm.
July - Keep the t.v. off for all but 2 hours a week.**
August - Create a homeschool schedule for the new "school year" and stick to it each day.
September - Read the Bible daily. No exceptions.
October - Workout five times per week.
November - Compliment Mike and the kids at least once each day.
December - Take virtually the whole month off from work. I'm allowed to have one party (to fulfill my quota) and spend no more than one hour a week on follow up.
* This is NOT a number I am proud of, by the way. Not to mention that I've lost virtually all muscle tone in my body because I'm out of the habit of working out and I have no self control around sugar! This is a huge goal for January since I'm going on a business trip next week for a company that sells FOOD, then we're going on a week-long cruise later this month. I know it will be hard to lose weight this month, so my goal is to not GAIN weight. Not one. single. pound.
** July is before college football starts, so this just might be possible...for ALL of us. I'd better inform Mike of this one, since I included him without asking him!
