Below are the New Year's Resolutions I made for 2017. Can you believe 2017 is already A QUARTER OF THE WAY DONE?! I can't believe it. I'm turning 30 in less than 7 months, but I don't wanna talk about it. Anyway, let's get a progress update on my resolution list, shall we?
1) Lose another 50 pounds - As of this past Sunday, March 26, I have completed one month of my 3-month weight loss challenge in which I've lost about 9 pounds in 4 weeks! Between sickness and back pain, I haven't worked out as much lately, so my exercising has slacked off, but I must have built some muscle, because I can tell I'm still burning fat. Well, it's at more of a simmer, but still...
2) Pay off all of our immediate debt - Still chugging along! Even though we're down to about six bills (at least when it comes to paying off debt), they're still the largest chunks, so I'm having the mentality of "slow & steady wins the race" right now.
3) Rewrite Ravensboro - Still no more progress on this. I'm ashamed to say between work (tax season is here and I work in a tax office), working out, and otherwise being married and being choir director at my church, I haven't had much time to do much else. Including updating Ravensboro.
4) Finish Harkness - I really can't start on this until Ravensboro is done... ='(
5) Journal/Blog more - I have SIX more book summaries waiting to be written and posted on my blog, which is awesome, but I've started slacking on the journaling front - unless you count the food journal I'm doing for my weight loss competition.
6) Find out where I should be career-wise - I just got a raise, so I'm sticking where I'm stuck right now. Hopefully, God will continue to lead me in His will for my career, because I still don't know what to do. I had lunch with a friend the other day, and we were talking about careers and finding jobs doing what we're good at and love to do. Obviously, being a writer or working in a church would be preferable, but I have also considered guidance counseling or camp counseling before. So maybe I'll look into that...
What about you? Did you have any New Year's Resolutions going into 2017? How are those working out?
I know, I can't believe April is TOMORROW! LPL is coming up soon. :) You're doing great on your resolutions, best friend. Keep at it!
ReplyDeleteI'm on track with my Bible reading for the year (I finished 1 Samuel this morning), and to date, I have read 7 books this year, 4 of which are on my 2017 book list, so that's going well. I am kindof stuck on verse 5 of my memory work, and I'm supposed to start working on verse 7 tomorrow. Not terrible, but I need to get myself back in gear. Cody and I have our next trip all planned out in our #SeeAll50 endeavor and the goal for this year is 3 more states, so we're on track with that, too. Life is good! :)
