Resolutions/Individual Plan

I have been doing a lot thinking about my goals for this new year and trying to develop a plan to meet them. I am a firm believer that to meet goals, you have to have a plan to get there. Yet I have never taken the time to set these goals. This year is going to be different. Today I am going to write my Individual Plan. This is what I do for a living...I devlelop Individual Plans for the folks that I work with. I have always felt that I need a plan too. So, today I am going to write one. I am going to identify my dreams and goals for the upcoming year and my plan to reach them. This will incoude meausrable steps to help keep me on track. Can you tell I am excited??

The Holidays

Whew! I am glad that they holidays are over. We had an amazing Thanksgiving and Christmas but I am exhausted. I was never so happy to go back to work yesterday. Then, this morning, both girls have colds so we stayed home. I am taking them to the doctor tomorrow. Kate has her one-year appointment and I think I'll sneak Kaelyn in just to make sure she isn't getting an ear infection.

I have a lot of plans for this upcoming year and journaling more is one of them. It does help me to pause and reflect at the end of the day.

I am also trying to get organized. I have been getting the www.flylady.com emails for the past few years but haven't stuck with it. One of my major goals this year (okay, a resolution) is to follow her guidelines. She teaches you how to declutter your home and life and I sure need that! I ordered three books online that go alone with her principles...one for Body Clutter, one for the home and another for cooking meals. I can't wait to get them.

Of course, I am resolving to lose weight this year but haven't gotten off to a very good start. I need a plan and I have been giving that some thought. I still belong to Gold's Gym so I need to sit down with my planner and write down when I will go and stick to it! I know exercise is such an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.

I bought some craft/office organizers today for my office space. I can't wait to get them up. I think we are going to redo the backroom into a play space for the girls so that will be nice. Maybe not a play space but a place to keep toys. All in all, some good goals.

I hope everyone had wonderful holidays. I will post pictures soon.
