hey, I had forgotten about this!

I did get some sewing done and made my first skirt for a belly dance performance

Exercise has been sidetracked due to my vacation and then getting sick but my plan is to get started again on Monday.

Update:

1. Diet Plan - I've been trying and experimenting to come up with something that will work. I'm not quite there, but I've got some better ideas and have been doing a lot better and being more aware of what my choices are.

2. Interior Design Classes - Well, I know I said I should finish what I start. But I also think it's important to discard what you know you will not finish. I am about to the point with this project. I'll keep it for now, but it may get decluttered when we move in a few months.

3. Work up to three days a week at the gym/exercising - I have been doing alright on this. I'm at a steady two days per week, a lot of the time I do three but not enough to actually claim it as a goal having been met. *L*

4. Budget - we know what we need to do now... now it's only a matter putting it into action.

5. Book of things I want for a house & magazine clippings - I have maintained this and I have kept up very well with letting the magazines pile up. I get three or four and then I go through and cut out what I want and toss the rest.

6. Gratitude Journal - meh. I stopped this a while ago because I was too depressed to think of anything nice to say, and as they say if you don't have anything nice to say.. blah blah blah. I am going to get back onto this though because I did feel better when I was doing it. Maybe we should wake up that old thread about happy and grateful...

[mauvaisroux]

Sound like you are getting started quite nicely lizzi.

[lizziness]

So, I don't know about anyone else, but I forgot all about this and had to do a search just to find the old thread!
Thought it was a good time to bring it back, see what we wanted to work on, reflect on whether or not we got there, and start thinking about our 2006 missions.

As for me, well, I didn't do as well as I'd like to, but that's okay. It's a new year. I'll have to start thinking on my missions for a day or so...

[Goddess Jessica]

This thread thoroughly depressed me. Oy!

[dentrassi]

YUP! I didn't accomplish ANY of my missions for last year!!

[mauvaisroux]

I managed to accomplish some of my goals so I guess I will be working on the rest of them this year

I will start a new thread up for Jan 2006
