New Year, New Goals, New Us!

Okay, so we aren't new, but there is so much more that is. I needed a place to put some goals down in print.

1) Finances - We are tired of the paycheck to paycheck lifestyle. We are buckling down and doing two things for this year

• Starting to save - yes, I have a 401k and retirement through work, but actively putting money into an account we can't touch very easily so we can do things like go on a vacation or something. Or for those little emergencies. 
• We don't have a ton of debt, but it would be nice to get all that under control so that is goal number 2.

2) Health - I say health because I am not feeling like Diet is the best word. To accomplish this I am going to take the following baby steps

• Cut out soda - for real this time. This will include doing a Plexus subscription. I already know it helps me crave less sugar. But I need to get a grip on this now
• Exercise - yes I am writing this down for follow through and accountability reasons. Get a second hand Wii and keep it in my room and set a schedule. I need to be more active.
• Food - I will get there - one step at a time, I need to take care of the first two first.

3) Spiritual - This is one that is always hard for me, but I need to take the next baby steps

• Scriptures - personal and family
• Prayer - personal and family
• Come Follow Me curriculum - I think this one scares me the most. Mostly because I have been so terrible in teaching my kids at times. I need to write it down though, they say if you write it down, you are more likely to be successful. 

Now I just need a good way to keep track of this and make sure that I am not to hard on myself when I slip, because slips happen.

This is all that comes to my mind for today, but it is enough, right?
