We are now participating in a 3 in 30 blog challenge and link up to keep us accountable to a certain extent. The idea is to make 3 goals and work on them for 30 days (or one month). Each week I will post my progress on Friday morning and then at the end of the month on the first Friday I will post my accomplishments and my new goals for the next month.
My 3 in 30 for July are:
- To weed my garden and flower bed every Saturday morning.
- To walk for 30 minutes 3 times a week to start (per doctor orders--so lets make it happen).
- To organize the basement and finally get it DONE. This has been ongoing since last summer and weighing heavily on me.
Please visit the challenge and the other links of family's participating in this challenge. Encourage them!
Those are great goals, Kim! I need to make an exercise goal, myself. I've tried to turn getting the mail into walking & sometimes that works but sometimes, it doesn't. One year, I did aerobics 3x/week for 20 minutes just by dancing to fave songs on cassettes. If I could do that once, I know I could do it again. And I know you can, too!
ReplyDeleteExercise is something I need to do. Walking is perfect for what I need. I did buy a DVD though, but that is a bit more advanced right now. LOL
DeleteThank you for stopping by.
Great goals! Exercising is tough, isn't it? I have to get up extra early to get mine in before my children wake up, but I feel better when I make the effort. Organizing: there's ALWAYS something in our homes that needs to be organized or sorted or rearranged or whatever. Ugh! When will our house just be right? I guess when we don't live in it anymore. *Sigh*
ReplyDeleteIts very tough. I think about the time it takes and all the other things I could be doing..... but I will make this goal.
DeleteI seem to be in never ending organizing mode.
I'll look forward to hearing how the basement project comes along. If you can post some pictures, that's always inspiring to us all who are also trying to organize and simplify our lives! I'm working on a couple of organizing projects this month, and know it will be such a good feeling to have them completed.
ReplyDeleteOh pictures would be scary..... LOL But I will think about it. *smile* No I will, I had already though about it. Right now is is nothing more than holding area for junk. Like a hoarders episode.
DeleteThank you for stopping by.
I'd love to see the organizing too ;) I share the exercise (3 - 4 x per week)
ReplyDeleteThis has been weighing heavily on me for a long time. I need to get it done so I can cross it off my list.
DeleteThank you for stopping by.
I like these goals - totally manageable :) The exercise one is really good - and it's one that I've had going on for a bit. Thankfully I'm finally on a good morning routine, but it took me awhile to tweak. I'll be cheering you on!!
ReplyDeleteI am happy with my progress thus far. Thank you for hosting!
DeleteI like that your goals are doable. So many times I make unreasonable goals and then am discouraged when I don't achieve them. Just think though--36 projects completed in a year. That's progress!
ReplyDeleteThank you and that is a great way to think about it, 36 goals a year completed and worked on! Thank you!
DeleteI did our pantry this week, sometimes it amazes me how much better I can think when my spaces are organized.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way and I think our pantry and my kitchen cupboards will be part of my August goals.
