Week 3 goal

Last week, I challenged myself to wake up early every day... I got to Thursday, then fell sick with respiratory infection & wasn't able to sleep well. So, I'm still working on that goal!
But for this week, I challenge myself to go to the gym & get in 2 good 30 min cardio sessions at the gym that I pay for & never use!
I will go Sunday morning before church - get up at 7:30am, run at gym till 8:30, home to shower & eat, then off to church by 9:45.

Week 2 Goal

This week, the main goal I want to focus on is getting up when my alarm goes off at 6am.
I'll start with a few mins of Joyce Meyer TV with my coffee, Tuesday through Thursday. By Friday, I will do a short workout to start my day.

Finish

My word for 2016 is FINISH.

I have always had a bad habit of starting multiple projects, but not finishing most of them. I have books half read, journals partially filled, rooms half decorated, the house partially clean, laundry washed but not put away, and school lessons planned but not fully implemented. This year, I want to focus more on seeing things through to completion rather than starting new things.
I will finish reading a novel for myself.
I will finish my house chores by setting times in my daily routine to do so.
I will blog here more than verbally sharing everything with Jay.
I will finish decorating the school room, my room, the living room & Jays room.
I will enforce school lessons to be completed before free time (calling or inviting friends over).
I will see that school books we start get finished before we begin something new in the same subject.
I will finish the 8 week Tone it Up challenge I started.

2016 will be a great year because I will finish what I start and set an example for my son as well!
