Resolution Check-In

Since we're exactly six months into 2013 {wow that went fast} I thought it would be fun to see how I am doing with my "Hopeful Accomplishments" for the year. 

To be honest with you, I totally forgot that I had even made these....whoops.  I really should post them up in the house somewhere.  So it was a great reminder for me to go back and look them over!


{one} Regularly set specific fitness goals.  I actually have started this.  Focusing more on my abs one month, setting a mileage record the next.  I think it really has helped me stay on track most of the year with my workouts.

{two} Run more. Yes!  I still hate it with every step I take, but running and I are finding a nice balance these days.

{three} Stay on top of the laundry. Nope, not even close.  Some days I get all motivated and do most of it.  But those days are few and far between. 

{four} Eat better and drink more water. I am just getting slightly better about this.  The first part of this year was a rough one for our family, and what I was eating was not really a concern.  But I do want to be a good role model for the girls, so I have upped my water and am crunching on vegetables a little more regularly.  Still lots of room for improvement though. 

{five} Stop procrastinating. Eh, still not that great about this.  Work in progress.   

{six} Save more money at the supermarket. This is hit or miss.  I am always scouting for things on sale, or looking for the cheapest unit price, but I'm still not great about coupons.  Getting a little better about it in the past few weeks at least.  

{seven} Eat at home more.  Again, things were rough around here for a few months in the beginning of the year.  Those times were all about survival and so picking up food was not something I was going to stress about.  Since things have calmed down, we have gotten much better about this. 

{eight} Let go.  I don't think this will ever be something I am truly an expert at, but more of a continual process.

{nine} Go away with Skip. Yes!  California was such a rejuvenating, much needed trip.  I feel like such a newlywed with him again since we got home. 

{ten} Be more intentionally with my blogging and the way I interact with the blogging community.  I'm not quite sure if I've reached this goal yet or not.  There's definitely things I still want to change about my blog, and the way I blog. 

{eleven} Spend quality time alone with each of the girls.  I have found myself alone with each of the girls at certain times, but I want to have more scheduled time to do something fun.  If Skip doesn't get overtime today Emmy and I are going to the movies today...there's a start!

{twelve} Make more of an effort with my appearance.  I definitely don't get dressed in cute clothes and put on make-up every day, but I have been getting much better about this.  I think Skip is happy about this one.   

{thirteen} Overhaul my closet. I definitely made a lot of progress so far this year.  I'm pretty sure I sold / donated at least three giant garbage bags of clothes so far this year.  And if I buy something new, I make sure I truly love it!


Overall, I think I'm doing pretty well with my resolutions at this point.  What about you?  How are you fairing at this half-way point?
