My goals for 2019: Update #2

So, I said that I was going to be accountable to my goals this year instead of having them sit on my blog post not to be seen until January of next year. I have decided to do weekly updates, that way I can keep these in the back of my brain and keep them fresh. I think that Sundays are a good day to do an update as then I can refresh for the week ahead and make sure that I am living each day in a way that I consistent with my goals for the year. So, without further ado, here are my goals for 2019 updates for week #2::

1. Blog at least 2-3 times a week.

Yep! Completed this week! :) 

2. Read 26 books.

Still reading The Brave Art of Motherhood by Rachel Marie Martin. 

So that puts me at 1.5 out of 26 for the year!  

3. Read to the boys before bed.

We did this 5 out of 7 nights this week. One day the boys got in trouble so they went straight to bed. The other day they chose to watch extra WWE wrestling before bed. On the nights we did read, we were reading "Star Wars" stories out of one of Ben's books.  

4. Try 12 new recipes at least. 

I tried a new product this week that I had picked up at Dollar Tree.

It was pretty good and I would make it again. I also made freezer breakfast burritos that were awesome. I will share the recipe later this week. 

So for the year I am at 2 out of 12.  

5. Take a walk at least 2 times a week in the winter and at least 3 times in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. 

This was a fail this week. I didn't walk any. We had a super busy week with back to school and extra activities in the evenings. Then the weather didn't cooperate. So fail on this this week. 

6. Take a couple of hours of "me" time on the weekend in some way... whether this is getting away from the house by myself or taking a nap.

I am thinking a nap is in order later today. I am dragging today for some reason and just feel tired to the bone.  

  

7. Declutter each room of the house and donate things that don't belong in the trash and throw away trash. 

I got the boys' room done last Sunday and got lots of stuff out of there. I also cleaned out kitchen cabinets Friday night and got 3 trash bags full of stuff out of there to donate.     

8. Take 2 overnight trips with the kids and Bill. 

Just in the thinking stages on this one.  

9. Have a date night with Bill at least 2 times a month and have one of those a quarter being a date night OUT of the house. 

Nothing this week but that is okay :) Bill did bring me home some pretty flowers one night though...

10. Get a tattoo. 

I have been thinking about this and am pretty sure that I would like to do a simple shark design. Now to start looking at Pinterest for inspiration. 

11. Lose weight. 

Nothing this week. 

So there you have it. Good on some things, not so good on others. But that is the way it goes sometimes. Now I think I might head back to bed for that nap. I went to the early mass this morning and then taught PSR class. Now I am just dragging so a nap I think is just what I need on the cold, snowy Sunday! Have a great Sunday everyone! 

If you are working on goals for the new year, how are you doing on them?
