So, it is JUNE of 2009, and I know that I had a "check in" last month, but I figured since 1/2 the year was over (Damn, already?!) that I would just do a quick check in again with my goals and see where I am!
Here goes nothing....
Health Items
*Get back in shape – be the size that I was (or smaller) when I left Florida in July of 2007*
*I am happy to report that I have been able to wear/fit into most of my smaller sized clothes since late last month and I have no intentions of slowing down! I have a particular goal size/weight in mind and I know if I work extra hard for the next few weeks that I will get there!*
*Certification in RPM or Body Combat, and teaching classes*
*Well, on this I am still awaiting my cert information from Les Mills on RPM, but I do have an update of sorts in regards to certifications. I have decided (I think I am insane!) to take initial training for my certification in Body Combat mid July, so that will be number 3 in LM certs, and it is going to be a tough one, but I feel that I am up for the challenge!*
*4 Days of Cardio a week*
*I have been doing at LEAST 4 days of cardio fairly consistently by going to the gym on lunches at least 2 or 3 times a week and then taking or teaching RPM on Saturdays - I am going to need to boost this up to at least 5 or 6 however to prepare for my Combat training - so that is starting THIS week. *
*Better eating habits*
*I have had better weeks on the eating thing, the last few have been tough with people visiting etc. I am happy to report there is a shopping trip later today to purchase all of the foods needed to be back on the "Clean Diet", so I will be doing that again for at least a couple of weeks and see how it works out.
*Cut down drinking alcohol to one or two times a week*
*I have been doing fairly well on this one, most of my drinking happens only on Saturday nights now, as that is my only real "party" night of the weekend, since I have to teach early on Saturday mornings every week and I am fine with that - its been a nice little release and Saturdays are great to look forward to.*
Education/Travel Items
*Learn Portuguese*
*This one is not DONE, it has just changed slightly... Tim & I have decided that in a few months we are going to take a class together to learn Spanish. Why Spanish? Well, Spanish is a great base language for many others including Portuguese and Italian and it is much more useful even here in the US, so once we enroll in a language school, I will of course update about that*
*Get My Passport*
*I have an appt. this week on Wednesday to submit my Passport Application (who knew you needed an appt?!?), so I am ONE step closer to obtaining it - horray!!*
Colorado Based Things
*Central City & Breckenridge*
*My parents were just here in Colorado for a visit so I was able to go to both of these places. My favorite part of Breckenridge was the brewery!! I hope to go there again sometime in the future too, it was a great town*
Money & Budget Based Things
*Save at least $25 - $50 per pay period*
*I have consistently been saving even more than this - more like $75 - $100 per pay period, which is not easy for me at all as I love to spend as soon as I earn... but I am happy to say that I have an nice little stash now because of it*
*Keep all bills current, or paid early (Stick to budget)*
*Again another tough one for me, however I have been paying all of my bills early and it feels much better knowing that I don't have to worry about this and that being late, etc etc. Who knew?*
*Go through clothing and other personal items once a month and get rid of at least 2 to 3 items that are not being used*
*This one has been fairly easy, especially since I had quite a bit of clothing that was now way too big for me. I have been weeding out items I haven't worn or used in years and it always feels good to just be rid of it. Now I just have to start replacing things as my wardrobe is getting smaller and smaller, however I don't want to spend any money until I am much closer to where I want to be with my body shape and weight!*
Well, that just about sums it up. I might have rehashed some of the things I have accomplished in May, but I sort of needed to remind myself of some of my goals and look at what I have already done in a short amount of time. I am my own worst critic and can be very hard on myself - so this is a nice way to see my progress and give myself that credit that I am due.
