Update and Crafty Stuff

Feb 01, 2009 19:13

This weekend I'd planned on scrapbooking and trying to catch up after our trip. My challenge for myself this year is to get caught up to 2008, as well as complete my wedding album. Going hand in hand with that, I'm trying to do 365 scrapbook layouts this year. All three of those goals are on my Mission 101 list, and I was really hoping that I could find some time to get caught up.

Thanks to a wonderful husband, (who didn't care that I secluded myself all day long today) and well behaved kids, I was able to complete 14 layouts today! I'll post 2 pages here, and then I'll link you to the rest of the pages if you want to look. This brings me to 27 pages completed. A little short for the month, but I still might do some more after dinner. :)





These are from 2006 (yes still so far behind, but I have some from 04 and 05 too!) when we went to a Blaze football game. They are the amateur league here. The other pages I completed are here so go have a look if you want.

Also, I figured I should update a few things from my Mission 101 list. Full list here, but here is what I've done since then. I'm going to call 17 and 18 done...label all chargers and designate a place for them to live. I did it all before vacation, but wanted to make sure I hadn't missed anything before saying it was done. Well, I think I have everything labeled, and if I find anything else, well, I'll just label it and toss it in my basket. It's a huge relief to know what everything goes to instead of having to ask Jake.

Also, I developed more pictures from 07, so I can cross Nov 07 off from 43, getting closer. So, 27 pages complete on 46, and I figured out where I want a tattoo, just need to figure out what I want to get for 57. 6 books read so far this year, and I'm keeping them updated on Good Reads so that takes care of 60 and 61 for now. Number 86, yes I've actually been updating our Family Blog, in large part due to updating it in Florida, and then when we got home.

So that is good news for me, some motivation to remind me that some things are done, and some things are in progress. Ok, so the biggest one for me personally right now...is losing weight. I know I'll never be what I was, but its hard for me knowing that I weigh now what I weighed at my heaviest when I was pregnant with my two kids. Yeah, seriously. SO.....number 29 is to lose 15 pounds. I knew to lose it healthy and steady was to be losing a little at a time. Realistically, I set myself the goal for 5 lbs a month. And, as of this morning I hit it for January! I actually didn't gain anything during our vacation (BIG surprise), and I knew there was no way I would lose with my Mom's cooking, lol. So, I was way excited when this morning I found out I had lost 6.6 pounds! Woo! So my goal is the 15 pounds by March (5 a month) and then the other 15 I'll spread out until September. I just worry I might plateau around summer time so I'm giving myself that padding. Anyways, yeah I'm excited about it, but I know that I need to remember to keep doing what I'm doing. Also, since I really want to hit that March goal, I'll be giving up soda for this month and chocolate for March. The no soda starts tomorrow so wish me luck! :)
