summer goals

I know the summer is half way over ( although it doesn't feel like it here Texas :), but I still have a bunch of goals i would like too accomplish.



Decluutter - This is my biggest goal. I want to major declutter, down size on number of things that just seemed to find there way under foot constanly! And organize. Early in the summer we built some really good shelevs in the kids room and that has helped so much in organizing thier toys, story books, and school books. But theres still many other areas that could use a good dose of declutter and and organizing. Lkie for instance, don't step foot in my room!! :)



Daily Excerise - This is really a major one too! I feel i have gotten so lazy in the excerise department, and gotten so fat around the belly department!!! So need to do somthing serisouly! I had hope that walking around in my garden would do the trick, but it don't seem too. :)

And this heat has not made me feel like walking down our road. I have though a few times recently went for a 2 mile bike ride. So i am hoping to keep that up atleast everyone other night.
I don't know how that is for working down a belly though!?
My goal is to iether walk or bike aleast a mile daily.


Daily Bible Reading- another biggy on my list!! Actually this one is at the very top!! I have been so neglectful in this area. I have beeen reading to the children in thier bible book daily, either morning or eveing. But my own reading has not been happening at all. I would like very much do be reading daily, but it sure takes effort and seems really like you just have to set time aside for that, or it don't happen. Maybe I will plan on getting up at 6:oo, while the house is still nice and quite, and read. Then chores , commputer time, and get breakfast.



Planning Menus- This is one of my very low points. Like very low, like most of the time i do not know what we are going to eat for that meal till just an hour or two before hand!! :)
So that means it has to be somthing quick, beacuse i don't have much time left to work with!
And also very often i will start a meal say like speghiti and then find i do not have any noooles!!
I know that would not happen if i had planned ahead.

I would so love to beable to plan a menu for a week, aleast just suppers, and then shop and having everything i need for those meals. So i will defianlly work hard on that goal.

Going Off Caffine- Actaully it would be going off coffee biengs that is the only form of caffine i have. I don't do any soda drinks.
and I don't even mean going off coffee 100% but just cutting back. I have did very well on that so far already. Both my husband and I descided to cut back on coffee and even missed 2 whole weeks this past month! But now we are just having some on the weekends.
No really reason for cutting back coffe except just felt it wasn't somthing that was best for our bodies on regular baises and was somthing we could certainly live with out. Actually we were both feeling rather tired and sluggish with drinking a few cups of coffee every day.

So i plan to continue to keep that up. Of course in the summmer with the heat you hardly desire a cup of coffee anyway.


Well thats my goals .
I will update preodiaclally on how i am doing with them.
