A Work in Progress: Week in Review: 7-22-12

Here's how I did on my goals this week:

Read Bible daily (this means planning ahead on days I work and not just expecting I'll be alert enough when I get home) I didn't read every day. I think I need to actually figure out a schedule for reading every day since I'm not always able to do it at the same time everyday.
Be more consistent in praying for requests on my list I really focused on this and was much more consistent.
Continue to work on being more joyful. I did much better this week. But, I do have to admit to one crying episode. But, it was brought on by something, not spontaneous like it has been in the past, and it was short. Just a few tears.

Have kids help with dinner on Monday night. I'm not sure it was Monday, but they did help one night.
To to the movies with my DH Check!
Buy my mom a birthday present She decided she wanted us to chip in for a digital camera

Finish all laundry on Monday. I did all but one load on Monday because I missed it. I finished that one another day.
Wipe down bathroom daily Oops.
Vacuum steps Oops, again.
Work more on playroom/schoolroom Check!

Pray for Sunday School Check!
Attend church Wednesday Check!
Set up meeting with the Pastor to talk about Harvest fest. Meeting can be any time in the next couple weeks. Grr. Forgot again. I really need to call first thing Monday.

Write down every bite I eat! I didn't do this again. I really need to remember to talk to DH about holding me accountable.
Lose at least 1 pound. I actually lost 4! I really don't know what happened. Two weeks ago, I lost a pound. The next week I gained 4 practically overnight. But, then I lost those 4 pounds this week, putting me right back where I was two weeks ago. I'd say it was just a bad reading on my scale, but it read that way for three days straight before going back down. Weird!
Try to get to bed by 11:30 every night. I think I did them all but two nights. One night I worked until 11:30. This was a last minute shift change, so I honestly thought I'd be able to do this this week. The other day, I stayed up and spent time with DH.
Drink more water. I didn't do as well on this this week as I have the last two.
Put on makeup every day Not everyday, but most days.
Exercise at least one day Does walking up and down the stair a ton of times on Monday count?

Possibly go to dance aerobics with my BFF this week. I'm not sure of her schedule. Didn't happen.
Message another friend. Check.

Update budget software daily I forgot to do this today, but I'll head over when I'm done here.
Do not overspend! I went a little over-budget with groceries. This is where I have the hardest time!
Pay bills Check!
Finalize draft of next months budget Check!
Have budget meeting with DH I still need to have him sit down and go over it with me.

Buy Math curriculum. I'm working on it, I really am. I'm searching for used curriculum because it is much cheaper. If I don't find something by next week, I'll order it new.
Buy some Five in a Row books I'm waiting to see if I can get the used curriculum with my Amazon card, first.
Plan the calendar for the coming school year. I still need to do this. I have a general idea. I just need to sit down and make it official.
