Health & Fitness Goals for 2012

Yesterday, I took a couple hours to sit down and write out my goals for 2012.  I won’t bore you with all my goals but here are a couple I will be blogging about in January. 

1. To exercise at least 30 minutes per day.  5 days per week throughout the year.
2. To develop the healthy habit of drinking at least 64 ounces of water per day by January 31^st.

If you have downloaded the 2012 Get It Together, Already Organizer/Cleaning Schedule you will have noticed the Health/Fitness Checklist down in the bottom left hand corner.  I have included check boxes for every 8 ounces of water you drink per day.  You will also find and area to record how many minutes of cardio work you put in and/or how many sets and reps of strength training you did that day.

Also in this area, are check boxes for how many serving of fruits and veggies you eat each day.  I will be discussing this later in the year.

I hope you find this new area helpful,

Daily Bible Study/Quiet Time

An item you will find on the Daily Check List of the Get It Together, Already Organizer/Cleaning Schedule is Bible Study/Quiet Time.  As the year goes along I will recommend various books, websites & ideas I find helpful in my spiritual journey. 

The first of these recommendations is this:

 I picked this up at the beginning of last year and have found it a wonderful resource to my daily study of God’s word.

I hope you find it helpful as well,

Scrapbooking

Scrapbooking is one of my favorite hobbies.  In this section of the blog you will find examples of my scrapbooking endeavors as well as great ideas from others.  The first day on the Get It Together, Already Organizer/Cleaning Schedule with scheduled craft/hobby time is Wednesday the 4^th.  Check back then to see what comes up.

Couponing

Last year I started couponing.  I have found it a great way to reduce the amount I spend each week on products my family uses and stock up on emergency supplies.  I also have to say; when you haven’t planned for dinner (that happens to me sometimes – ok, a lot) it is wonderful to go shopping in the basement.  I hope to post coupon shopping lists and great scores here as well as links to fabulous couponing sites.

Emergency Preparedness

It seems that everyday as I watch the daily news and find more and more reasons to prepare for an emergency.  So this little section of the blog will be devoted to emergency preparedness.  A way to calm those worries about what the future could hold.  If my family is prepared all will be well.

If you feel the need to make this an area of your life you need to make serene as well, check back for activities and ideas to accomplish those goals.
