Week whatever...

Well, I'm 15 weeks along & my enery and general wellness is s l o w l y coming back. I really want to focus on taking care of myself, my home, and my family this week. It sounds selfish, but especially myself. I haven't been fixing my hair, exercising, washing my face or reading my scriptures much in the past couple months, so I really want to work on taking care of this earthly temple.
Last night Jason & I watched "Supersize Me" (we got it from the library). boy, if you ever want some motivation to start eating better, exercising & taking care of yourself, watch this movie. It is a good motivator for me this week.
So - here's where I'm at & where I'm going:

TOP 5 GOALS FOR 2009:
1. To be able to see myself and others as Jesus sees us.
Again, I need to re-focus on this in my prayers & when I look in the mirror. I need to try and see my family's great qualities instead of focusing on the negative.
2. To serve others more often and more cheerfully.
In the temple last week, I walked away determined to be a better help-meet to my husband. He deserves it. I want to help him more with finding a job, with working out, with scripture study and just to provide a loving, clean environment for him.
3. STOP attacking my face, arms, and legs by popping zits.
NO leaning over the counter this week. None. Zero. Zip. Zilch.
4. Media: Avoid media with swearing, sex, or violence.
This has not been a good goal. On our anniversary weekend, we rented a couple movies from Redbox & one needed fast-forwarding. The other we should have just turned off. I need to re-direct my media goals and get them to an inspirational focus - one that will bring me closer to my Savior.

"B" GOALS (important, but not top 5):
1. Prayerfully attend the temple no less than 10 times.
We went last week for our anniversary vacation & it was w o n d e r f u l. I can't wait to go to the new Draper Temple & Oqurre Mountain temple.
2. Stay out of debt and Pay tithing and generous fast offering every month.
I still need to pay tithing from what mom gave me.
3. Write in my journal once a week (doesn't include blogging)
I did write in my journal last week, but it had been almost a month! I need to do better for my sanity!
4. 1 anniversary vacation, 3 family vacations (includes camping), 1 "lovers get-away", and 1 "girls only" getaway!
anniversary vacation - check (wonderful!), girls only (check!) looks like we need to get going on our family vacays!
5.When fasting, start the night before (5pm Sat-5pm Sun)
I totally even forgot today was fast Sunday. I should have prepared, even though I can't fast, I can focus more.
6.Write at least one "love note" from God every night.
Doing better! I have SO MANY love notes from God every day!
7. Get our food storage and 72 hour kids up to par.
I am feeling good about it!
8. Appreciate my loved ones more.
Better - need to do so much better!
9. On the computer no more than 1 hr a day (except newsletter/slideshow days)
Ok - I'm ready to password-protect the laptop, so I can only use this computer downstairs. The laptop is too much of a temptation.
10. Keep Word of Wisdom: Bed by 10:30pm, eat fruits and veggies and each meal and for snacks, exercise 4x a week.
Bed:Good!
Eating: Bad! Especially for our vacation. After watching Supersize Me, I am going to eat BETTER!
Exercise: My goal this week is a modest 15 min for 3 times a week. Pathetic, right? But I WILL do it & I will move on from there!

"C" GOALS (work on these, but not at the expense of A or B)
1. Stop being so sarcastic.
Bad. I am truly sorry to anyone I was sarcastic to.
2. Meal plan for each week.
Not so good, but I already have my menus ready for next week, complete w/ a shopping list.
4. Bear my testimony 6 times.
Not this month...
5. Plant a garden.
I think we're getting close to that time, but I am having a hard time. Do we rip up the backyard & put so much time & effort into a garden when we may be moving? I need to pray more about this.
6. Put up a picture of the temple, the prophet and Jesus in our rooms.
ALMOST done! We did get pictures of Jesus, a temple and the first presidency in the girls rooms, but we need to put some up in our room.
7. Keep up with the FLY lady - keep our home ready for visitors and keep the routine
I have done better in the past weeks, but need to get the ROUTINE down!
8. Make Birthday Books for the girls
Gotten behind since I've been sick. Ireland's birthday is really only 2 months away! Ahhh!
9. Transfer all camcorder tapes to DVD
I am lost on this now, but I need to help mom this week & would like to start getting caught up.
10. Date night w/ sweetie 3x a month
Had our anniversary vacay!

FAMILY GOALS:
1. FHE once a week
Out of town this week...
2. Scriptures/conference/inspirational songs during breakfast
Better, but not great
3. Stay out of debt
The Financial DVDs have been great! We're learning so much about God's way with money vs. the world.
4. Move to a small town
Working on it.
5. Be on time to church every week.
Not today. It was ONE OF THOSE DAYS with getting to church period, but I at least felt good that I did some personal study before we left.
