I've done virtually nothing... no, NOTHING toward my new year's resolution.<br /><br />I was supposed to develop a strategy for feeding my family more varied, more frequent home cooked meals. My husband is good about it, but I want to do my part.<br /><br />I intended to bust out my crock pot, but it sits on the shelf... untouched.<br /><br />And while I'm admitting things. I'm also not winning any awards at cheering on my goal setting partner. I did a few things earlier in the year, but my efforts have dropped off. <br /><br />I know... I'll grab a treat to mail her and then grab dinner at Wendy's drive thru on the way home tonight!Claudia @ Highlowahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18156269935738164157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-3623380347320661792009-07-07T11:16:32.805-05:002009-07-07T11:16:32.805-05:00Brian, don't give up.

I know that hitting a plateau sucks and can be frustrating, but just stick with it!<br /><br />I've actually been going to the gym on a pretty regular basis regularly.

I did have a goal for the spring and that was to get rid of everything I do not use and organize my room. Thanks to some help from a special person, I achieved that goal! It feels so great to live in a room that is clutter free and organized!<br /><br />Next up....pay off the debt I raked up in grad school!!! It is tough though when you live in a city as pricey as Chicago.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968802523375545159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-76687217408344723542009-07-07T09:30:02.748-05:002009-07-07T09:30:02.748-05:00You little achievers, all of you.

I have one piece semi-done but I'm not crazy about it.... Now, this is what I know about me... I have no focus when it comes to my art. I'm all over the board. BUT!!! My partner in crime- RAY! How many of you have I drawn? So, it counts right?<br /><br />AND, though it wasn't a set goal, I did lose weight and chose to be healthier this year!Cheryl Houstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714034822340589132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-42784513866470605722009-07-07T08:46:55.963-05:002009-07-07T08:46:55.963-05:00Oh, Sting Ray.

It's true that up until about 2 weeks ago I had made no progress on my goal of getting back into better shape. However, I'm proud to say, I'm off on the right foot now and making some progress. <br /><br />Just like Kat, I think I'm going to work out even longer today just to put you in your place!<br /><br />It's great to read that everyone is making some progress....even if it is small progress. Yay for all of us!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09222466425842041635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-77573101535130096142009-07-07T08:22:01.863-05:002009-07-07T08:22:01.863-05:00I've been thinking a lot about goal fishing la...I've been thinking a lot about goal fishing lately!<br /><br />My goal was to read to the kids five nights a week. I'm working on reading to the kids. I'll admit I was doing better in the spring, summer schedule has really been hectic. I tried to build in some insurance by reading from longer books, thinking that the story would call to them to ask, but alas it did not work that way. They love to be read to but never ask for it. Isn't that odd?<br /><br />Congrats to everyone else on the goal progress!Robinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-85863317774640715332009-07-07T08:18:51.462-05:002009-07-07T08:18:51.462-05:00Whatever, StingRay!

I may do a little extra today just to prove you wrong!

And have be doing some sprucing up with bushes and plants outdoors<br /><br />So, all though my goals may not seem big... the small goals I have been setting, I HAVE been accomplishing them. The next thing is day dreaming, what more can I do?Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757274528052909098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-30630987282441274562009-07-07T07:03:07.655-05:002009-07-07T07:03:07.655-05:00My goal was to lose weight, which I have done...

And it might actually happen in the year 2009! <br /><br />My goal is to move out of my parents' house...and so far I have banked one paycheck! hehe...and I am doing pretty good not spending money. I headed to Target yesterday, just to get a couple things I think I need for work. But, I almost got there, and turned around! I decided to save the $20 I was about to spend and wait to see if I REALLY need those things! <br /><br />So take THAT stingRAY!cassie pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-33336598006049910592009-07-07T06:21:46.956-05:002009-07-07T06:21:46.956-05:00my problem is "I am in love with a light bulb...my problem is "I am in love with a light bulb." There, I admitted it! And, while I have not actually accomplished my 2009 goal, I have done something towards doing so. It's funny-the song I woke up with today kinda fits your post (for me):: <br />Another cause for me to fight. <br />Another fuse uncovered, Now, for me to light. My dedication, <br />To all that I've sworn to protect.<br />I carry out my orders, Without a regret. A declaration, Embedded deep under my skin. A permanent reminder, Of how it began. No hesitation, When I am commanded to strike. You need to know, That you're living the fight of your life.<br /><br />So, with that, I sign off... still bummed a bit about not being farther along the goal but grateful to be doing something towards it because, in the end, I AM fighting for my life. <br /><br />Ray... I know you are all "tough" and such, but I know, underneath, you just want people to be HAPPY. And I want you to know that I know you are really a marshmallow!Chaotic Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234401308763228709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442005414487201262.post-25408657441584971152009-07-07T06:17:10.614-05:002009-07-07T06:17:10.614-05:00Ray go eat some Phish Food!

We have saved money and HAVE paid off some of our debt. By the end of the year I guarantee we'll be debt free and ready to buy a house. So take that Mr. StingRay...<br /><br />=)Heathernoreply@blogger.com
