If at first you don't succeed...GOALS 10.1.10 UPDATE


1. Exercise 5 days per week. Which includes walking 3-4 miles a day 4x per week and using the Total Gym 2x per week

I only worked out on the weekend. I walked 4 miles 4 times. This was no where near my goal but I did manage to log in 16 miles this month. It would have been 20 but it rained hard this weekend. I only did the Total Gym once!

2. Spend more time in prayer and continue to look for a church! I have not been since I went to a terribly boring church in May. O_O How did 5 months pass???? SMH!

I've been praying ya'll!! LOL! I watched Woman Thou Art Loosed women's conference online and it truly blessed me! I visited a church and it was actually nice. They got their praise on up in there! I will visit again soon. I also have two other places on my list to visit.

3. Keep applying for jobs with better pay.

I believe I applied for about 20 positions this month. Most of the positions had closing dates that ended this past week. I applied for a lot of city, county, state and federal jobs. The money is good in those type of positions here well except state lol! I expect to start hearing something in the next 2 weeks. I took a test for a company that's expanding. I have a few other tests coming up and I may have 2 interviews coming up shortly. I am super excited about my progress!

4. Donate the clothes that I have bagged and boxed to charity.

Sad faces all around!! Those clothes are still here. I can't believe it. I did manage to add more clothes to the pile during my Fall clean. They have to get out of here! I think Thanksgiving will be at my place this year with way more people then last year.

5.Cook and eat healthy meals more days per week, cutting out fast food and high sodium meals.

I did cut out fast food. But, I had fast food this last week.  I mean I HAD it! LOL! I think it was a binge because I was having withdrawals from not eating it earlier in the month coupled with my stressful life it was a recipe for disaster!


6. Continue to be frugal with my spending and use coupons when shopping for groceries.

I was very frugal! I did not buy anything. There were shoes and clothes I wanted but I did not buy. I have stalked the boots I liked all month and they will be bought in November!

This worked. I did use coupons! I don't know how much I saved but it felt good to stick to something! It gave me extra funds for my fast food binge! LOL!


7. Drink 64 oz of water a day, and cut back on C.oke.

That's a lot of water!!! I went way too much! I did not like getting up in the middle of the night to go either. I have to finish my water way earlier in the day

! I cut back on C.oke but during my down week I used it like a drug! It made me feel better. *shrugs* Next month will be better with the C.oke and I will continue with the water. My skin looks amazing!

Well that's the update. I'll post next this month's goals shortly. I hope you all had a successful productive month!

Room for improvement! At least you can't talk about me not mailing my package to my grandma since you didn't get out that pile of charity clothes! Ow! You won on the church tho! Fast food is a hard one man. I have plenty of trouble with it myself. I want some coupons!!

I know I know! *hangs head in shame* LOL! this dang clothes! The coupons have been a lifesaver. I use the ones in the newspaper and the circular from the stores! It's great!

P.S. I love this... said...

Well at least you did SOMETHING.. I did NOTHING.. nada, zilch, zero on my goal and "to do" lists. Now I'm scrambling to get things done.. *sigh* why do I do it to myself?? I have to REALLY work on the procrastination.. maybe next week. HAHAHAHAHAHA.. See? It's a sickness. =)

I think that's pretty good! I have a long list of things to be doing * in my head & am not doing very well currently. I need to join a gym or make an effort to walk. And I need get on a D-word. (hate saying it! Diet) I just borrowed this Belly Fat Cure book from a coworker. It is a diet where you cut out MOST sugar. You are limited to like 16g a day. It claims you can lose up to 10-12 pounds PER WEEK! I think it's worth trying.
Thanks for posting your update. Maybe I should put my goals out there so I will be more accountable.

@ Mommy + Me Thanks!!!!!
YES!!! post your goals. I'm nosey and I want to see your goals so we can encourage each other!!!

The D word sounds good. LOL! Cutting out sugar is hard! but I do it from time to time. It's part of my goals for Nov. to cut back on salt and sugar leading up too the best eating day ever!!! LOL!

Hey fantastic website! Does running a blog similar to this take a large amount of work?
I have absolutely no knowledge of computer programming but I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
Anyways, if you have any recommendations or techniques for new blog owners please share.
I know this is off topic but I just had to ask. Thanks a lot!
