2017 Goals

Basically the last few years I haven't really achieved any of my goals that I had set for myself but I am going to make sure that I do achieve them for 2017.  

Goals:

1.  Lose weight (I want to be about 140 lbs)
To achieve this goal I will make sure to meal plan and prep for a week in advance.  I will make sure I have a dedicated day to plan my meals and get groceries and another day will be do cook these meals.  I will have healthy/yummy snacks on hand so i don't grab unhealthy ones.  I have a 12 week WW planner and I will make sure to follow the point system to help get a jump start at the weight loss.  When i am not working I will make sure to go to Jills for class if she it is on a day that she has them.  I should be getting a treadmill this week and my goal is to start running again.  I will try and use it every day as I really want to start running again.   It will be awesome to have it right in my house and I should be able to get up early and do it.  I will make sure to run before my husband goes to work so that charlie won't be chasing me.  I think I have a good program to start from.  It ranges from 30 min to 77 min.

2.  Pay off some debt
I really need to be better with my money.  I just finished paying off a loan so I will have an extra $300 which will help me get a jump start at paying off some of my other debts.  I will make weekly grocery lists to try and cut down on the running to the grocery store in between which adds up quickly.  I will try to go to another place for groceries as the place here in town is so much more expensive.  I will try to pick up one OT/month if it is offered.

3.  Get my house in order
We have so much random junk in this house and I really want to start organizing things and purging.  If we ever had to move I would not want to have tons of junk to get rid of.  I will start by going through the Cmas decorations and only keeping what we actually use.  Everything else I will throw away or try and sell in the town wide yard sale in June.  I should make it our goal to actually have lots of stuff to sell and anything that we don't sell we will donate or throw away.  I will do my best to have set days to clean the house.  The day before I go to work for my set and then my first day off after my set.  That should make it for a much neater/cleaner house.  I want our house to be in order so that I feel ok at any point if anyone wants to come and visit.  I will do my best to keep the dishes done and put away at the end of each day.

These are the 3 things I really want to work on for the year.  I am hoping that when i reflect on 2017 I will be able to say that I achieved my goals.
