The Post I Wait all Year For!

I was successful with my goals for 2019. I had them all done by the end of November. It just proves that if you make a plan, and you check that plan, you can accomplish big things! I don't always crush it, I looked back and in 2018 I only accomplished one of my three goals. So any progress, IS PROGRESS.

My motto last year is the same as this year.  It's not about changing yourself, it's about bettering yourself. :-)

So these are my goals I will focus on in 2020, to make me a better!

I'm upping my reading goal from 10 books to 12 books. This should be easy because I'm not reading for school anymore! 🙌🎇🎈

I would like to finish 4 knitting projects again this year AND finish 2 quilts. I'm challenging myself this year, so if some of this seems crazy, it just might be.

Last year my goal was to run 400 miles, I finished with 530. This year my goal is 600 miles. I feel like I ran a lot last year, so this is another big goal.

I have 5 House project I want to get done in 2020:
Put in a ceiling light in living room
Put in a ceiling light in my bedroom office
Get a new stove
Remove a scraggly tree
Get my Garage door working

I'm adding a new goal to the list this year. I want to save $2,000. I had a nice savings account when I bought my house and now it's anemic. I do what I focus on, so every month I will be looking for the extra pennies to save.

Because of my savings goal I'm going to start 2020 with a personal challenge. I want to see how long I can go without buying any new clothes. I have enough clothes! When I was paying off all my student loans I would only purchase what was absolutely necessary. Maybe one pair of jeans and an outfit for a work event or special event. So, I know I can do that. I'm not saying I can't buy clothes all year, I just want to see what the date will be when I crack! I'm pretty stubborn with myself so I'm hopeful I can go months! Full disclosure, I made an Gap order before the end of Dec. with a new pair of jeans and a bra. So my last purchase date is officially Dec. 27th.

What are your goals? How are you going to check up on yourself? I will post an update every month on how mine are going. I think that is what got it done last year. Good Luck to all of us! We are getting better!

Two days into the year, I already have 5 miles! 

Took the boys to Free State after my haircut with the
Wonderful Ms. Molly. They took pictures of each other while we waited for food. 

Daryl was a good model for Alex. He loved his fish and chips!
