Here are things that I want to work on this upcoming year:
- Spending less time on stupid facebook.
- Updating my blog more often with my thoughts and updates. I think that it is important to continue keeping a record of this stuff for future reference for me and for the kids. I am also not going to hide any feelings in the future and put things out there as it is. If people don't like it, too bad. I am tired of not having my voice heard about certain things. I try to teach my kids to stand up for what they believe in and what they know is right or how they are feeling and I should be able to practice what I preach.
- Continue reading the scriptures with the kids before school. My school schedule is a little better this semester with my first class starting at 9 a.m. this way we won't have to leave the house so early and the kids won't have to be at the school as early. We will have more time in the morning to make sure that our reading is done.
- Fold the laundry as soon as it comes out of the dryer. I have a bad habit of changing the laundry at the last minute and then I don't have time to fold it. So I am going to strive to make sure that I have time to fold the laundry and not just throw it on the couch for a later time. So far today I have accomplished this.
- Get back to the gym and work on my weight issue. Right now my goal is to attend the gym 4 days a week.I have gone to the doctor and got a refill on my thyroid medication (which is suppose to help with me being able to lose weight) and I am going in at the end of January for a complete physical and complete lab work to be done which should see if there is anything else going on. I feel like this is a step in the right direction to get my body chemistry working correctly so that I will be able to lose weight. I ran for 9 months last year and didn't lose more than 6 pounds and I am pretty sure it had a lot to do with the fact that my body chemistry wasn't right.
- Do a better job at keeping up on things at the house.
- Make sure I keep up on my school work. If I need help then I should ask for it and make sure that I get better grades this semester.
- Continue to attend the Temple as often as I can. Right now my goal is to attend a session every Wednesday afternoon. I am for sure going to go and do initiatories next week right before the start of the new school year.
- BE ON TIME!!!! This one is a HUGE one for me. I am going to go and buy me a clock since I don't have one hanging on my wall at my house. This way I will be able to know what time it is and not have to depend on the computer for the time. As soon as I get on the computer to look at the time I then get distracted with stupid facebook and other blogs.
- Do better on my own personal scripture study and personal prayers. Make time for this. Which leads me to my next one.....
- Have the self discipline to get myself up and going in the morning! This is another HUGE one for me since I am not a morning person. There are times when I wish I was a morning person but it is VERY difficult for me.
I have a lot to work on, but I know that I can do it and that I will be able to succeed.
