2013

I have lots to catch up on.  It has been too long since I posted and a lot of craziness at our house.  But, to start off the new year right, I wanted to document on my goals from last year and the goals I have set for this year.

Last year I had 3 spiritual goals and 3 fitness goals

Spiritual:
1.  Attend the temple monthly -- I am proud to say I did this every month without fail.  It is such a blessing for me to be able to go each month and refocus on what is important.  I have lots more patience and am more committed when I go.  This is Matt's goal this year, I will be happy to have him there with me each month.
2.  Complete visiting teaching monthly -- this is also one I was able to complete.  I had the most wonderful visiting teacher when we lived in Syracuse and she is someone I will always treasure and look up to.  She inspired me to be better.  So... with the craziness of all our moves this year I did do my visiting teaching every month I had someone to visit :)  There were a couple months in between wards that I didn't have anyone to go to.
3.  Finish the New Testament -- I am still working on this.  I have read the Book of Mormon many times, but never the New Testament.  I just finished Colossians and am working my way towards the end.  It has helped develop my testimony of Christ and all He did for us.  When I am finished I want to go back to the Book of Mormon.

Fitness:
1.  Run a marathon -- YES!  Completed my first marathon in May.  I am currently training for my 2nd-- BOSTON, 15 weeks to go!
2.  Strength train 2x/week -- this is something I struggle with.  Give me a treadmill and I will run my littler heart out, but lifting weights and doing other exercising is much harder.  This has been hit and miss this year.  I have gone through phases where I do really great and phases where I totally fail.  Better keep working on this.
3.  Eat healthier/drink less Diet Coke -- I did great with this for the first half of the year.  Not so much the second.  After my marathon and Ragnar (and 3 moves :)) my willpower sort of went out the window.  I am going to get back on this one with my marathon training though!


For 2013 my goals are this:
Spiritual:
1.  Continue to attend the temple monthly, with Matt.
2.  Spend more quality time with my kids -- I am with them all the time, but I need to be better about doing more activities and teaching time.
3.  Have family prayer daily

Fitness:
1.  Eat healthier/drink less Diet Coke - like a said, a work in progress :)
2.  Keep track of my yearly mileage running -- I follow a running blog and last year her goal was to run 1500 miles.  I would guess by my habits that I am probably close to that amount, but I am going to keep track this year and see just how many miles I actually run!

Stay tuned for posts about the rest of 2012 and our most current move!
