Weekly Goalz

So I took a 2 day break from blogging I didn't feel like it. But just because I got "lazy" blogging doesn't mean I got lazy in real life. HA!

So lets recap last week goals and let see how I did.

Last week goals:

Remember I was aiming low... LOL

Children - Spend solo time with my 2 year old  just mommy and I. Going to be taking my little man out shopping with me. Guess at my age I love 2 year old, he's funny and I don't really know what to expect from him sometimes. Not how I had it planned since I came down with a horrible headache for two days. I did spend time with him but not what I had in mind.

Meal planning- Starting this back up again. My family agreed that they enjoy this very much. It saves time and money. My menu starts on Saturdays because I say so. This is going great this week. We are switching things around because we love to have soup when it snows and since we are getting snow today ( so they say...) soup will be moved to today.

Routine - I have to get a routine going here at my home. I don't know where I lost this and it needs to come back.  When did my two year old goes to bed at 10pm? When did this happen? I don't even have a laundry day schedule? I must get back to having a routine going for my own sanity. Yay for routines. Breakfast for the children before 9 am, waking up early though I have been slacking and waking up before 7am (shame on me!). Must admit is good to have a routine set. I just have to improve a bit more. :)

Date Night - Because I was working my FIANCE and I didn't do anything for Valentine's Day. I have some gift cards available for Olive Garden. Guess where we are going? Yeah, Olive Garden. This did not happen at all. We might try it again this week.

Friends - Going spend sometime with one of the coolest friend ever and she has convinced me to attend a Zumba with our friends. I think the crew has this idea that just because I am Latina I can Zumba like a professional. They are just going to have a rude awakening. This did not happen  because of my fantastic headache. :(


Now you know that I'm not perfect... LOL

Lets try this week goals. Keep in mind that my goals starts on Saturday. I follow my old jobs week. :P

This week goals (03/02/2013 to 03/08/2013):

 So I aimed low and took a 2 day break because I was feeling lazy. In reality I took up  excising for about 20 minutes and even decided to start walking again this week. Is still cold but with the right layers and good company the walking feels great. I need to personally lose 20lbs (I lost the baby weight already!) and I need to start adding exercising to my daily routine. Mind you with a 14 yr old, 2 years old, and 3 month old is difficult but manageable.

I have not walked in a while so 2 miles in 40 minutes is eh..

So that being said lets get this goals posted.

Family:

• Spend one on one time with my kids.
• Have a date night with my man!

Routines

• Continue to wake up early and post early in the mornings.- I'm doing pretty good with this. Two days I woke up after 6am which kind of set my routine back a bit.
• Continue to stick to my routine.- Though I woke up after 6pm a few days this week, I continued to get one with a routine. :)
• Add 20 minutes exercise to my daily routine.-I started this Sunday with On Demand exercise videos. Monday we went for a 2 mile walk with my teen girl and my FIANCE who are walkers. Doesn't matter how cold it is they just go. I decided to stop using the weather as an excuse and become part of the "walkers" club.
• Beat 2mi/40minutes walking.-My dream is to run a 5K .. and with this numbers I'm so ready to tackle this. This is average for walk I want to bring this number to 2miles/30 minutes. Is it possible? We shall see.

Yard Sale:

• Start planning our first yard sale ever! Research this online this week will be one of my goals.
• Clean baby's closet and drawers. Not an easy project since I have make sure my two year old is napping before I start this project and have it completed before he wakes up. He seems to love when mommy makes messes.

Books:

I started to read Fifty Shades Freed. I must finish it... I must..

Friends:
I will be getting together with my cousins and friends this week. Hopefully!  


So here are my goals that I am working on for this week. I am very excited that I am making progress on this. Yay me!!

What are you goals for this week?

Is that time for my weekly goals... GOALZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Last Week

So I posted last week now that I don't work I want to go back to a normal sleeping routine. Here are the three major goals I wanted to accomplished.

Sleep- I must get my sleeping routine back on track and working night shift just didn't help. I believe my one day off I slept through it last week. I've been up since 2:30am today. This is a ongoing issue but somehow today I managed to wake up at a decent hour.  My baby still doesn't sleep the entire night but is all good. :)

Children - I joked about spending my first day as a SAHM introducing myself to my kids! Let me just tell you that working 2 weeks with 3 days off (night shift) helped me boost my decision to leave my job. I think this morning was the first time in two weeks that I held my baby boy until he fell asleep instead of vice versa.  This goal was priority, though we all laughed about it I felt that I needed my kids to know mommy was home for good.  We spent more time together and trying to the boys to have a nice picture of them together. My two year old doesn't want to have his picture taken with his brother.

Menu planning - I have not gone shopping since I started work. I thank my FIANCE for taking over that department. He doesn't cook so I can imagine what they are eating. :) Menu planning helped me out greatly and it also helped me saved alot of time and money.  Well this was an epic fail. I didn't sit down and plan my meals last week. Instead I opened the fridge and freezer and went with it. I also went shopping and stocked up on cereal thanks to Target and  Weis. Maybe it was not an epic fail but the kids were not sure what we were going to have for dinner until dinner was serve.

As far as my book reading went, I skipped Fifty and went for Wimpy! The sad part, I still have not finished that book either. I will finish at least one book this week. I'm still trying to get myself into a routine. During my quiet time I tend to take a siesta.

This week goals:

I'm going to try to keep my weekly goals simple again. Aim low... very low.. haha.

Children - Spend solo time with my 2 year old  just mommy and I. Going to be taking my little man out shopping with me. Guess at my age I love 2 year old, he's funny and I don't really know what to expect from him sometimes.

Meal planning- Starting this back up again. My family agreed that they enjoy this very much. It saves time and money. My menu starts on Saturdays because I say so.

Routine - I have to get a routine going here at my home. I don't know where I lost this and it needs to come back.  When did my two year old goes to bed at 10pm? When did this happen? I don't even have a laundry day schedule? I must get back to having a routine going for my own sanity.

Date Night - Because I was working my FIANCE and I didn't do anything for Valentine's Day. I have some gift cards available for Olive Garden. Guess where we are going? Yeah, Olive Garden.

Friends - Going spend sometime with one of the coolest friend ever and she has convinced me to attend a Zumba with our friends. I think the crew has this idea that just because I am Latina I can Zumba like a professional. They are just going to have a rude awakening.

Ok, I think I have set my goals pretty damn low. So you know, chores like cooking, cleaning,  etc I will not be writing down as goals for the week. I think we all know that this is something we all have to do. I will only add them if I have a special project. For example, removing my baby's newborn clothing from the closet and storing them away. ( I don't recall my baby ever fitting in newborn size, but whatever.) Now that's a project I have to attack since I'm planning on having a yard sale this spring and donating some.

What' are you goals for the week? Did you aim low for yours or high?

Weeky Simply Goal

 I'm all about setting goals and seeing how many I can accomplished. Weekly goals, daily goals, monthly goals, etc I'm all for it! I have improved in getting them accomplished but not as much as I would like. Since Tuesday morning was my last day working grueling 12.5 plus hour shifts I will try and make this week's goals simple. I'm going to start posting my goals here for my friends and family to view them and maybe they can join me. That way I am more determined to get them done and I won't hear their mouth when I epically fail.

Sleep- I must get my sleeping routine back on track and working night shift just didn't help. I believe my one day off I slept through it last week. I've been up since 2:30am today.

Children - I joked about spending my first day as a SAHM introducing myself to my kids!

What are you weekly plans for the week?

Books I Will Read This Week... or try...

Now that I am a stay at home mom ( I can't still believe it!) I am planning on taking time to read some books.

I do love reading books but once a book gets a bit too boring/predictable for me it takes me forever to read. If you have been following my blog you would know that I started reading Fifty Shade Trilogy last summer and joined a book club and all. Something I did NOT mention was that I never finished the last book, Fifty Shades Freed. Why? I hated it. I said it.  As I read the book I started to think Grey was a major pussy!

This week I will finish this book. I have to. I can't go on to another without finishing this book. I'm half way there this will take me a few days. I know I don't know what's wrong with me. I just didn't fall what happen to me. I just think these book reminded me of an X rated version of Twilight.

After I finish this book, I am so turning this around and going another direction. I am going to start reading Diary of a Whimy Kid - The Third Wheel. Yup, I love the books though I have not seen any of the movies I love reading the books. Is something my daughter and I enjoy. This cracks me up from Fifty to Whipy!

I'll keep you post it!

What book do you recommend I read. I do not like scary books!
