Goals and Resolution: Checkin 1

This entry is part 2 of 4 in the series Goals and Resolutions 2012

No, you haven’t lost your mind. Our family is down to one computer, and I was hoping to have mine fixed by now. Unfortunately, laptops are not too fond of mac & beef, so repair has been agonizingly slow. And when I only have a few minutes in an uncomfy chair right before bedtime, expounding upon the subject at hand is easily delayed/dismissed. I’m backdating the entries for the days they *should* have been published. Thanks for joining my time-travel team <3

So how am I doing, two weeks after I set myself up?

Resolution: Get Healthy. Goals: Diet and exercise

I’m still fighting the urge to eat potato chips and cottage cheese for breakfast, but not all that often. These days I’m fighting the urge for crunchy food with a small handful of mixed nuts. And I’ve pinpointed “eating more veggies” as a designated target while my body adjusts.

I’m not working out every day, but I’m making a conscious effort to move more than I was. The scale has moved a bit, but it’s too early to tell if it was water weight.

Resolution: Budget. Goals: Develop side business, track spending

I’ve already totally blown the “keep track of money” part. I’ll try to pick it up again at the next payday.

My work on the side business has dealt mostly with focus. Am I going to design? host? code? troubleshoot? (Most likely? Troubleshoot.) How much do I charge?(believe it or not, that *has* been a problem in the past)

30 day challenge resolution: Uncluttering

Not going according to schedule. At all. After pondering on my “moderate failure” post from Friday, I had a realization.

I’m ready to let go of these things, but I’m not necessarily ready for what (if anything) is going to replace them. And to be completely honest, I’ll probably need some time and help processing that little tidbit.

And that’s all the news that’s fit to print right now about my resolutions.

As if I didn’t have enough to do

I bought the house from Mama.

No, I haven’t completely lost my mind. (Although sometimes I do wonder.)

How many chances do you get to buy a home from the original owner when you KNOW what the issues are?

So far I’ve alternated between putting out fires and trying to make upgrades. For example: I bought spackle, primer and a gallon of paint for my room…and then a pipe split. So now I also get to add “replace crawlspace insulation and rodent barrier” to the list.

As you can imagine, the list is getting hard to manage.

The good news is that the roof and furnace are +/-8 years old, as is the laminate flooring.

That means now I get to (not) blog about fixing the house along with the gardening and the cooking that I’m getting ready to start doing.
