How's everyone doing on their goals?

So this week was REALLY cold here in Tennessee. I wish we would have gotten a blizzard but that didn't happen. So we stayed inside and had several Snow Days this week.


I found this Mini Money Challenge on Facebook, I think. I honestly can't remember where, but I will give credit!!! Its not mine.I LOVE this idea. So on top of the 52 week Money challenge (which is week 5 this week, I am doing this backward so I have my money for Christmas!!! I added $49 last week) I am also doing this mini challenge. This will be added to the Mad Money envelope so who knows what this money will be used for! But I love a challenge!!!! I'm also doing this challenge "the forward way" so I only have $7.50 in it so far! 

So at the beginning of the year I posted my goals. I am going to refresh and see how many have gotten started. 

1- Books. I have NOT PURCHASED any books. I have gotten a few FREE books from various websites. I have been reading but not as much as I had hoped by now. I am 2.5 books into my goal of 30.

2- I have been meal planning! I am still getting the hang of this app but I LOVE it so far! 

3- Clean Eating-  I HAVE NOT EATEN ANYTHING FRIED or eaten fast food in 30 DAYS. I did go to a chicken food chain and I ordered a GRILLED chicken salad. I am so proud of myself. My next goal in the area is NO LOW FAT, NO FAT FREE, NO DIET, ETC, type foods. 

my goal this month was to find a Hummus recipe.I have And I did...

HUMMUS----
1 15oz can navy beans
2 tsp crushed garlic
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp sun dried tomatoes
1 tsp chili pepper sauce
2-3 shakes of salt & pepper
1 tsp cumin

run in a food processor and refrigerate The best homemade hummus so far!!! 

4- We are able to do a little bit of shopping together, but we had Adyson and the shopping we were doing was for Adysons birthday party. But something is better than nothing. 

5- I am POSITIVE!!! 

6- Blog on time- well I think I am going to change this. Only because life is random. So I vow to blog at least 2 times a week hows that? 

7- Natural cleaning is going great. No new recipes yet. Still using vinegar for all hard surfaces! I'm getting close to making a Soft Scrub replacement! 

8- Working Out- I have been doing mini work outs, but I forget to post them! I also ordered Shaun T 25... It should be here in a few days. So I will report back on how sore I am when start!

9- Music- I have been refreshing myself on my keyboard. I have played 4-5 times. So I am getting back in the groove. 

10- Christmas Stuff- I have gathered items to start a craft project next month! I think 1 Christmas Craft a month should get me where I want to be when the season comes back around. 

11- Do more on my own- haven't had anything happen yet...

12- Scheduling- I am working with this! Its been great so far! 


How are you doing on your goals?
