Goals Check In

Another month, yet another check on my New Year's Resolutions.

1. Take better care of my skin including washing my face day and night at least 5 times a week. - I've improved on this. Still not five times a week, but getting better. It helps that Annie is in Ellie's room now.

2. Wear makeup at least twice a week - Doing pretty well on this too. Only twice a week though. Who knows if I'll ever do it every day like I used to when I was working and single.

3. Lose baby weight - specifically reach my pre-pregnancy weight by June - I am getting closer every day. As of this morning, I have only 5 lbs to go! Since I want to lose an additional 15 lbs after that, that means I've got 20 lbs to lose in total. But still at this rate I will definitely get to my pre-pregnancy weight by June - I'm actually hoping for May. And I've lost 35 lbs of the 40lbs I gained while pregnant with Annie. Go me!

4. Get to the gym at least four times a week minimum - Still going strong on this. My broken toes have hindered my ability to use the elliptical machine, but I am using the bike instead and I have started ab exercises since it's been more than a month since my incision healed. I still look like I'm 3 months pregnant when it comes to my stomach. Disgusting!

5. Read the Book of Mormon cover to cover - I need to do better with this one. I am behind my current reading goals.

6. Do my visiting teaching 100% - got this one covered for March too.

7. Read at least one book with Ellie every day - this one is so easy, I should probably have made it more challenging. Ellie adores reading and can hear books over and over. I can't wait until she can actually read on her own.

So that's where I stand on my resolutions. I still have some work to do, but overall I'm proud of what I have achieved. I want be accountable for my goals, so when you see me feel free to ask me how I'm doing.
