Today is the end of the first week and time for us to check in on how we did with our goals.
I have listed my goals once again and will put in my response in another color at the end of the questions. So here we go!
1. I want to be more grounded in my faith and what I believe, so when asked, I can share my love of Jesus without wavering. So that means daily prayer and studying the word of God. I did really well with this. I read my bible daily and definitely said many prayers throughout the week.
2. I want to get back into making cards. My goal is to make at least 1 card a week, whether it be for birthdays, anniversaries or just for words of encouragement. I have not accomplished this yet, but Friday isn’t over either! LOL i do have all of the stuff out that I will be using, I just need to sit down at the table and get it made. I even know how I am going to make it. I will post a picture next week of my cards.
3. To get back to a healthier lifestyle. This means, to track what I eat daily, drink more water/less caffeine, and to exercise at least 30 minutes 3 times a week. I was half and half on this goal. While I did really well watching what i ate and drinking my water, I did not write down daily what I ate. Also, due to a fibromyalgia flare-up, I have been unable to exercise like I have wanted. It has taken all I can do to actually move over the last few days. I am feeling better today and hope to get in a 30 minute walk.
4. To blog more about what I believe in and to share what I love the most. That would be my love for Jesus, homeschooling my children, taking pictures of our life and sharing recipes that have been handed down from parents and grandparents. I have not done this to the best of my ability either. I did get my Multitude Monday written, as well as my iFellowship Day post written. Other than that, I haven’t written much this week. I need to make a set time to where I can sit down and just focus on what I want to share. So this will take more work as well.
Over all, I think I did okay for this being my first week. I still have 3 more weeks to go and I know I will see some improvements by the end of the month.
Stop by Ashley and Meghan’s to see how everyone else is doing. Show some love and encouragement. It will go a long way in to helping others reach their goals!

I love the idea of this 3 in 30 thing!
stopping in from 3in30 – great goals & a great way to start the new year. if you need a way to track your meals (and calorie v. nutrient intake) register for free at myplate.com. it's a site hosted by lance armstrong and has been great for me in the past. also you can track your walks and find out your mileage and approximate calorie burn! :]
keep up the great work! good luck!
So glad that you're feeling better today! Keep plugging away at those goals!
P.S. Can't wait to see your cards!
So glad you're feeling better. Keep up the good work you have some great goals.
Have a week filled with lots of blessings and grace;
