2015 Goals// Mid-Year Review

My 2015 goals were explained back here.        


Here's a mid-year review to get me back on track.

Health: 

Walk 30 min a day- This was definitely happening early in the year when I was in my second trimester.  And a little less in the third trimester- but it still happened! And then it stopped.  During C-section recovery it has been quite difficult to do any exercise.  I'm a little bummed about that.  Especially because this is how it will be every baby.  Anyways.  It's too hot to walk right now.  But I am doing some other exercises indoors.  

Stop the sugar 

I did so great for January without sugar! Then I had some for a week. Then I had gestational diabetes which forced me to go off sugar.  But now, I need to adjust this one to 3 sugar free days per week.  Because that is more realistic right now.  

Learn:

Read 20 min a day

Again was doing great with this- but had a baby.  Time to get back on track.

Basic graphic software

I learned very very basic graphics online with a free website.  That might be it for this year.  

Spiritual: 

Take one name to the temple 

This one is so difficult for me- but one I really want to make happen.  Hunter has found dozens of names so if needed, I might count that by year's end. 

Journal/ blog each week 

YES. Doing great.  I love journaling, especially now with a baby and there is so much goodness to write about each day.

Read the Book of Mormon before baby is born 

DONE! It was one of my favorite readings of this book EVER.  

With Hunter:

Pay off credit cards

Still working on it! Haven't gone into anymore debt so that's a good step!

Meet our neighbors 

Done! But I am pretty sad to say that it was because one of our neighbor's had a tragedy in their family that brought a few of us together.  But nonetheless- we have met a lot more neighbors. 

Have more people in our house 

Having Henry has brought more people into our house this year than we've ever had before.  This Fall I'd like to have some dinner parties and game nights.  And of course- at the end of the year we'll have Hot Cocoa Party. 

Word of the Year: 

Patience 

It's hard to really distinguish where I've been more patient, but I know it's been happening.   

In my head I stop myself from nagging Hunter.  

I feel like I'm starting to slow down generally.

I hope I can say that I give people the benefit of the doubt, or am more kind with others. 

And I had a baby. 

Baby=Patience
