Goals update Week 1

Week 1 did not go so well but the ultimate goal is to reach these goals and make them habits by the end of the year so I still have 51 weeks to turn them into habits. I'm having a hard time balancing work with all these things and also some of them require spending money which we do not currently have.

Josh and I have not really been off at the same time this whole week so there hasn't been an opportunity for us to spend any together time. However, he will be quitting this next week so we should be able to now. My first date idea for us to try is a tasting...haven't decided yet of what...but we will pick something either chocolate or wine or beer or ice cream or cheese or something and we will have a tasting of all the different kinds and find out what we like and don't like. Of course this will take money so it will have to wait until my next paycheck.

I have not been working out because I do not own any workout clothes. All I have are jeans and work clothes and PJs to wear so I need workout clothes or at least pants, and also $15 for the gym here in Ashton. So again waiting on that paycheck. However, I have been doing squats and pushups and situps at work when it gets slow.

I have not been journaling daily and honestly think I will only do most of these goals on my days off because working 12 hour days really doesn't leave a lot of free time for things other than eating and sleeping betweens shifts.

I can honestly say I have been praying a whole lot so I'm good on this particular goal. However, I do need to probably work on memorizing a verse a day or a verse a week as well.

I have not written and will need to start this up probably this next week when I get some days off and some free time. Also, I was going to scrapbook today but realized I am out of scrapbook paper to use so I will need to pick some of that up as well.

I don't really have too much of a problem taking a photo a day but it's more taking the time to post those photos online that I am slacking on. I need to try and get on at least once a week to upload all my photos instead of allowing them to sit on my camera.

Other than his bedtime routine and reading to him I haven't spent a lot of time really playing with Justace this week. I need to work on that. I get lazy and let him just play on his own and just read to him instead of playing with him.

I also have not been cooking or baking until today. I did make salmon tonight. It turned out too sweet because I ran out of dijon mustard for the sauce so it had too much honey compared to how much mustard it should have had with it.

I have done well this week I think at house cleaning. Our house was a pigsty and and in the past 2 days I managed to totally clean our bedroom and our closet and our living room. This leaves the kitchen and dining area for Josh to work on this week while I'm at work or sleeping. This week I will be pulling all night shifts so during the day I will be home but will be asleep as much as possible.

As far as beauty goes again I need money for this goal. I need to go buy all the basic stuff for me as far as face wash and hair stuff and things go. I have a beauty routine list written up but I need to go and buy the products I need for it.

I did send out 2 thank you cards this week so I am good there. I've really been keeping my eyes open for acts of kindness to do daily but I haven't really seen a whole lot of anything I can do. I didn't get to go to church yesterday because both me and Justace are uber sick and I didn't feel much like going and I didn't want to get anyone else sick.
