Goal: De-Clutter
Not so great this week. I didn't add to the clutter, so thats good- but I really didn't get rid of anything, or go through anything. Didn't make my goal this week of going through my Gone with the Wind plates. I guess I should focus more on the fact I didn't add to the clutter. Jeff and I decided where we are moving, and when- so its now time to start packing and really cutting back on the clutter that moves to the new place. (We have found the apartment we want, and I go tomorrow to fill out the application-so we aren't guaranteed, but it will more than likely work out.)
Goal for next week: Go through the Gone with the Wind plates. Start weeding through the upstairs to start packing!
Goal: Lose Weight
I at first wrote "I really failed on this one." But I'm not so sure. I did not go to the gym three times- I went once. However, I had a really busy week at work that involved a lot of working outside. It's a good time to work at my job- I get to be outside all the time and I actually like the feeling of getting home from work exhausted and sweaty. We had Jeff's family in town all week- so there was a lot of going out to eat. I could only do what I could. I think I may leave Curves, it is not making me feel very relaxed when I'm working out. I may leave in July when we move. I'd like to use the money I am spending on my membership and put it into savings, and take advantage of more free options- like the workout room at my apartment complex- or walking. or my Wii. Nothing is set in stone yet, though.
Goal for next week: Go to the gym twice (I am only working 3 days this week, so that is more of a realistic goal.) Keep going outside at work.
Goal: Debt
Not so good this week. Again, we had family in town so it was a lot of eating out, so we spent more money than I wish we had. But- we did make some big decisions on where we are moving, and we are still keeping everything within out budget, we decided we don't need a townhome or a house- we just wanted a little more space and to be closer to areas we like to be in. We were able to find something just $45 more a month, much larger- and they pay for all gas (heat!). We will be on the ground floor, so it may mean in the future getting a dog which would bring on more costs, but-- thats ok! This afternoon Jeff and I are writing out our budget. Yep, we are going to sit down and look over everything and figure out what we have to spend and what we need to save.
Goal for next week: Live within the budget!
Goal: Career
It's a fun time to be at my work. I scheduled myself a lot outside doing programs-so I can focus on what I like about my job. I also have finished a few projects that I am actually proud of, so it's a good feeling (right now). I am happy that I am enjoying things right now.
I keep thinking about my future in general- and I am constantly wondering if this is what I want to do. I am really considering a change- not right this moment, but I like the thought of Jeff and I working together in the future. Wedding photography and planning? I really love the idea of working with weddings in some capacity. I've given a lot of thought to my strengths and what skills I have, and my personality traits. A lot of people I've mentioned this too think that my personality would work well in the field. Working with Jeff would be really fun. We would bring a lot to the table. It's not going to be an overnight change. I'm thinking really long term changes- and I'm still giving this a lot of thought.Next year I may look to intern with someone, just to see if I like it. But, in the meantime, I'm keeping myself happy where I am at.
Goal for next week: Keep this up!!
