2013 Goals

It's time for my annual post about my goals for the year. It seems like they are the same things year after year sometimes.... Remember last year I wanted to:
1. Stay better organized and more prepared with my planner
2. Be prepared for my Sunbeam lessons
3. Blog more - This Time Last Year posts

So, how did I do? Pretty good I'd say :)
1. GREAT! I kept and used my planner all year and will continue to use it this year. It was such a big help and I remembered all my Sunbeam's birthdays which is one of the main reasons I wanted to have a planner.
2. GOOD! I did really well all year remembering I had a lesson and working on it the Sunday before, getting a snack and being ready. I thought all week about my topic and was able to pull together a lot of great supplies I can use again this year. The only reason I didn't get a great on this one is because I did really well until I got to the point where I was doing the same lessons as the year before and I slacked a little those last few months.
3. BAD! I didn't do a very good job of blogging last year. I only did 3 TTLY posts. Big FAIL! But I have started to make up for that the last few months... I'm on an upward trend so it's not all bad I guess.

2013 Goals:
Organization: I will continue to use my planner and stay organized. As well as prepare for my Sunbeam lessons. I also want this to include finding a place for everything and finally uncluttering the apartment. Living in such a small place has it's drawbacks with lack of storage but I want to enjoy the last few months we are here. That means getting some things out of view because the clutter drives me nuts and decorating a little more so it feels more like home.

Mobility: This one is big for me this year because of the back issues I've had these past few months. Had I been more mobile I wouldn't have had the pain I've had. I really want to focus on working the kinks out and getting my body working properly so I can get stronger and lift more weight, which is my ultimate goal.

Body fat: This one is a long time coming! I've done several different things and got close once but sense then I haven't stuck with it. I can do really good for a few months but I need to keep on this so I can just finally get rid of all the extra fat.

Blogging/Journaling: I've never been really good at keeping a journal and I've tried to use this blog as a way to journal but I haven't kept up at it very well either. So this year I will do better, much better! I've even scheduled blogging topics and post in my planner to stay up on it. I will do this one this year, I will be a good blogger this year!

Prayer & Scriptures: This one is hard for me to write about on here because as easy as it is for me to tell the 5 people that read this blog that I want to loose body fat and that can be hard for others because it is a sensitive subject for them, that is the easy one for me to admit. Prayer & Scripture study is a sensitive subject for me. I've always been pretty good at saying prayers but at some point, and I don't know when, it just started being easy to forget. I love my Heavenly Father and I enjoy praying to Him so I want to do better and I want to improve. So I will! Scripture study has always been a hard one for me. I did really good there for a few years in and after high school and I had a routine but I got out of it. I really want to make time for this and make it a priority. At tithing settlement our Bishop asked everyone in the ward if they would want to get to know Christ better. Well duh, of course Danny and I said yes! We really do. A list was put together for everyone in the ward. Every Monday we read a story about Christ in the scriptures and watch a video from the Church's Bible Videos series. This has been really fun for us and will help me in my goal to study the scriptures this year!

I'm excited for this new year! There will be lots of changes and new things happening for us this year that I already know are coming up for sure, like moving. I'm a little nervous but excited at the same time. 2013 will be a wonderful year for our family and will be full of new adventures and I can't wait to experience every one of them!
Happy 2013 to everyone and good luck to you in achieving your goals!
