New Years Goals

This year I have a few goals that I am going to be working on. My first big goal is to organize all of my kids pictures that are on the computer and get them in a photobook. There is a website on the internet called Shutterfly and it is so cool. I am downloading all our pictures onto the site and creating photobooks for all my children. Then hopefully I can just stay caught up by scrapbooking the rest of the albums. The thing is though is that Shutterfly is so handy that I might just do all my scrapbooking online now. I am addicted. I have went through all the pictures that I have already and organized them. Now I just need to get their books put together and get them printed out.

My next goal of course is to lose more weight and keep it off. I lost 35 lbs last year and I have been able to keep it off. This year I want to lose another 30. I am a Biggest Loser fan and the season that is on telivision right now there is actually a dad and daughter couple from Shelley ID that is on it. I decided to go onto the Pound for Pound website and donate 20lbs of weight that I am going to lose by the end of May. Every pound you donate they will donate a pound of food to the food bank. I am way excited and it helps keep me motivated. We have our exercise room down stairs all set up complete with free weights, ab cirlce pro, mini trampoline, and a eliptical that we are borrowing from my parents. Robert has been getting up at 5 in the morning to exercise and I usually exercise during the day or at night. Now that Robert is going to Rigby to work I get up at 5:45 to make breakfast and his lunch.

My next goal is to get my craft area all organized. I have been going through my ribbon, beads, and scrapbook stuff and trying to get things oraganized. I have been wanting to do it for a while but have not been motivated.

The other big goal that Robert and I are doing is budgeting. We are doing the Dave Ramsey envelope system if you are familier with it. It helps us keep track of where our money goes and how much we spend. I hope all is well with everyone and that you will all have a great year this year.

I love setting goals at the begining of a new year. I just got my craft room organized so I can start seriously scrapbooking again. Sounds like you're off to a good start!!!!

Sounds like some good goals. I have my 10 year high school reunion this year so my goal is to loose this baby weight and look great before then! Here is hoping!
