Goals for the Week

This has been a great activity for me!  I didn't accomplish everything that I wanted to, but throughout the week I would think about the goals that I had set and then work towards them.
Last week's goals:
1.  Create something to sell on teacherspayteachers.com.  Well, thankfully, I didn't actually accomplish this goal.  I had wanted to earn money so that I could order some supplements from Herbalife.  On Wednesday I went to my bank account's online bill pay and found that Herbalife had STOLEN $1127 from me!!  After several days of phone calls and trips to the bank, I finally got it sorted out.  My bank will be refunding me this week, and they will go after Herbalife for the money.  
     I'd still like to create something to sell however, but this time so that I can send my Bunny to college!!  Woo Hoo!

2.  Read Knowing God Intimately by Joyce Meyer.  I haven't quite finished this yet, but I'm close.  Well, I'm about two-thirds of the way through.  That's close right?  I did read and finish Good Health, Good Life by Joyce Meyer.  This book set me in the right path for achieving good health forever.  Not a diet!

3.  Study the Bible 30 minutes each day.  FINALLY!  This one I actually accomplished.  Yea me!  Yea God!

4.  Workout at least 5 times.  I strained my neck and hurt my back, so I'm taking it easy.  I went for a short walk today, but that's about it.  But that may be a good thing, because then I can concentrate on...

5.  Improving my nutrition.   I've worked on it, but I wouldn't say that it's good yet.  STill a work in progress here.  (and all the Easter candy isn't helping)

6.  Decorate Easter eggs.  

7.  Plan a family photo shoot.  Still working on this one.  

This week I'm going to continue on the above and add in:

1.  Finish Knowing God Intimately and also read Living Beyond Your Feelings.

2.  Take Bunny to visit the college she will be going to in the fall!!  So exciting.  This is definitely an answer to a prayer that I really never thought would come true.  

3.  Enjoy vacation!!  I'm loving relaxing, reading and being home.

4.  Health focus:  Each month, I'm going to focus on one aspect of good health.  This month the focus is "Getting God's Help."  This idea comes from the book Good Health, Good Life.  
        I will start each morning studying God's word and saying a positive affirmation, reminding me of his love for me.  I will also strive to pray throughout the day and remember to ask for help when faced with temptation.

But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles,
they shall run and not be weary,
they shall walk and not faint. 
Isaiah 40:31
