Goal Getter – Eating right

 
 

Last week I did really well with my goal. This week, I'm trying to figure out where I need to put my focus. I need to wrap up the current Getting Ready For Baby, but I'll probably do that today so it isn't really a good thing to focus on for the entire week. I'm pretty caught up on my freelance stuff right now. I did our taxes yesterday, so finances are ok for now. I could focus on social relationships, meal planning/food, or physical fitness.

I really want to focus on meal planning/food this week because last week we ate horribly. However, the reason for this is that our fridge is dying and we got a new one Saturday. It won't be delivered until Wednesday, unfortunately. Still, I think I can make this a focus. So for this week, I'm going to focus on getting us eating better again.


My daily tasks are:

  • Make the bed EVERY DAY. 
  • Put away the clean dishes in the morning.
  • Spend 10 minutes a day on dishes.
  • Do something laundry related every day.
  • 10 minute pick up before bed.

For my weekly task:

  • Clean the bathroom (which consists of: putting away products, wiping down surfaces, checking shower for empty bottles–Mr. LL is notorious for doing leaving empty bottles in the shower)

Probably dine out again since we'll be going to my brother's comic book release party.
