Recheck:


Health:
1. Lose weight to at least 199 lbs. (Onederland) and keep it off
Still working on it, not much progress yet, today was 219.2,
basically I have lost the same 5 pounds over and over since Jan 2.
Dropped off for a while, but back on it again

2. Walk treadmill 20 min M-F, yoga DVD M-F, 25-50 ball crunches M-F,
15-25 wall push-ups M-F, mini-tramp 2-5 min M-F
Modified to 5 min on treadmill 5 x a week after I got sick and got gout again,
four weeks down took it out of me

3. Set up and carry out daily self-care regimen: inc. Vitamin daily,
weekly spa day, 7hrs + sleep daily
Vitamins bothered me so that was discontinued,
sleep is going pretty well about 3/4 of the time,
Getting up at 5 am most weekday mornings, so it is ok
done really well on spa day most of the time (missed 2 while I was sick)

Family:
1. Date night with dh on payday at least
2. Call kids and bros, (did for awhile,
they seemed to feel I was checking up on them so stopped)
email Harriet, Melodie, and Uncle Bob/Aunt Phyliss nothing done so far

3. Visit girls at least every 2 weeks
This hasn't been regular, but better than when they were in NM,
weather mostly and their schedules and sickness.
Mischa had a party on Jan 2, and we have been over
to visit a few times. This weekend was aborted
because of sickness (at my placefor potluck, rescheduling)
Not on goal list, but of note: reconciled with
both my oldest daughter (3 yrs since we had spoken,
and one half-sister (30 yrs+) so that was really good.
Not "mushy" but we at least acknowledge each other now .. it is a start

Financial:
1. BEF ($1000.00) bal is 0
2. Pay down debt with $50.00 snowball regular payments no extra
3. Stay within current budget

Intellectual:
1. Sucessfully finish 1 class for Spring semester (started with 3)
way behind, hopefully catch up this week,

between them dropping my classes for non-payment
(even though the voucher was in their office a week
before they dropped me) and then a teacher without
a syllabus for 4 classes (I finally dropped the class)
I was pretty depressed and way behind. then had a
problem with a test as well, so it was a disaster this semester

2. Read at least three books per month: 1 non-fiction, 1 fiction, 1 mystery fiction
I think I finished two, so that is 1 a month,
one fiction, non-mystery and one bio

Social:
1. Attend at least one school activity per month
2. Attend at least one church activity monthly- several and with dh most of the time
3. Attend church weekly only - missed 2 weeks, 1 for sickness, one for weather

Professional:
1. Continue to work on degree requirements - see above
2. Finish all "ongoing" LHC projects

Spiritual:
1. Finish marriage clearance process,
my part is done, in progress
2. Steps toward full membership completed
also in progress
3. Spiritual reading/Bible daily
4. Read Breathnach book daily dropped this, too much

Home:
1. Vacuum, mop, dust, clean baths weekly ... most weeks
2. Declutter 2010 items during the year,
dropped this as well, lost track long ago,
but have been simplifing.


You know, I haven't done all that bad.
It "felt" much worse than it was.
Mostly school and finances, not much I could have done about either.
