I decided today...

I decided today that I don't have a lot of self discipline. There are lots of things I'd like to do, some of them really important! that I just don't ever get around to doing. I like to think about a lot of things and maybe once in awhile do them. So today...even though it's Tuesday and usually I like to bide my time and start things in an orderly fashion (really I think cause it's easier to say, 'Oh, that's a good idea...I'll start that next week' or 'next month' or 'next year') I'm starting today.

I decided to make weekly goals. I even wrote them down and I'm going to keep that little piece of paper in my pocket. I figure so far I've kept my blogging goal...even if I squeak it in sometimes I've done it, and I think partly because I wrote it down and told someone. And I think there are about 3 of you out there that are keeping track of me ;) So, thank you!

So, here goes. Here is my list for this week (in no particular order):

  • go to the gym at least 3 times this week
  • read the Sunday School and RS lessons
  • cook at home 4 nights this week
  • NO shopping (for anything other than necessities)
  • clean the bathrooms
  • finish one of the books that I am reading

So, there you have it. Feel free to check in on me. (and for the record I went to the gym AND made an awesome dinner tonight so I am well on my way! :)

Look at the positive! At least you have the self discipline to write stuff down! (what book are you reading? Ahab's wife?)
