How those goals coming?

Hello internet friends (and some actual live friends as well)

How are those goals coming you ask, well very good!!! Despite the fact that I blinked and January was over...then I blinked again and it's the second week in February!
But I'm happy to report that we have been keeping our momentum for change this year!

Budget-We've been doing pretty good. not as good as I would like, but this is a process. a marathon. a journey...you get the idea. We continue to reign in our spending and use more of what we have.

Patience-I'm very proud of myself. I've really been keeping my cool. Not to say I haven't lost my sh** in the last 6 weeks, but not nearly as often and I'm much quicker to cool down. I've really noticed a change in the kids. They calm down faster and are more cooperative when I'm calm (duh)

Spend more time with hubby-This has been great! Even though it isn't so great for our budget....budgeting time and money for ourselves is a MUST. The time away each week has been so valuable and I really really like my hubby. sometimes it's dinner and trip around the bookstore, sometimes a movie-we are crazy!

spend more time with me- This also has been going really well. I've managed to do a yoga class once a week. I've fallen in love with it and just love that time. The great support from Jeff is what really makes this possible....with out his commitment to this I couldn't do it.

Simplify-We started out strong on this one, but as life has gotten busy, I've gotten lazy. buying lunches more often (bad for budget) buying snacks (bad for waistline) But like everything this too can and will improve.

I will keep you all updated (cause I know you're on the edge of your seats) and we have some fun mini adventures coming up so stay tuned.

How are your goals going for the year? What are you finding difficult to stick with? What has been going really well?
Till next time Friends
