Makeover Monday

Monday’s are a hard day for me to post as I work all day, come home briefly, pick up the kids, and turn right back around. I then head back the 17 miles from where I just came for din­ner at the M’s house.

But I’m going to try.

Moods­win­ging­mommy is trying to ins­ti­tute Makeo­ver Mon­day, and I think it’s a good idea, so I’m going to play along.

Here is an abbre­via­ted ver­sion of her rules:

  1. Choose a goal, same as last week, or new this week.
  2. Each Mon­day, write about any pro­gress on last week’s goal, & any new goals you might have.
  3. Link your Makeo­ver Mon­day post to Moods­win­ging­mommy’s page, and mine.
  4. Visit other Makeo­ver Mon­day par­ti­ci­pants to encou­rage and congratulate.

So here I go.

I’m sup­pose to pick one, but I’m going to pick a three:

Per­so­nal Health:
–go the the gym 3–4 times this week (Wed-Sat)

Orga­ni­za­tion:
–orga­nize the space below our junk dra­wer in the kitchen and above the appliances

Finan­ces: (will be the har­dest for me to follow through with)
–recon­cile cre­dit card bills, allo­cate $ to dif­fe­rent bud­ge­ted categories

If I do each of these things I feel that I will have sig­ni­fi­cantly less anxiety and stress in my life. Just maybe I’ll get a decent night sleep this week, and begin to undo some of that ulcer that is cree­ping up in my sto­mach. :-)

Thanks for the idea Moods­win­ging­mommy. I’ll update next Monday.

If you are pla­ying too, send me your link and I’ll link you up. I’ll start with the ones already lin­ked to Moodswingingmommy.

    You have some really solid goals, Smi­ling Mom! (And here I thought I was ambi­tious, having two goals.) Good luck with wor­king out, orga­ni­zing and get­ting your bud­get in order. I look for­ward to hea­ring your update. –MSM
