- get out if all debt but our mortgage -be able to run a 10k in under an hr -finish all our renos to our place -run 250k next yr. I had a goal for this year but I didn't track my running enough. -lose 25-30lbs -de clutter our house
(Whichever goals I can't do because of a pregnancy don't matter as much as the pregnancy of course.)
I'm going to keep it simple: Survive. Preferably without too much complaining, depression, or bitterness.
I think two little kids is going to be really hard and if I expect too much I know I'll just feel like a failure. My secondary goals will be equally "simple" for 2016 because I know they won't actually be easy.
-Read. No specific goal, just don't go months without reading any books. -Be patient. With myself and others. -Take care of myself physically. Don't just give up on all exercise and good eating, legitimately keep trying. -Don't apologize for living real life. This includes not apologizing for my house if it isn't perfect, or my car if it isn't spotless, or my menu if it isn't very impressive. Do me, and be fine with it. -Keep myself surrounded by positivity. Play encouraging music, hang out with encouraging people, and avoid situations that will bring me down.
BONUS: if things are going well: -Find a new job or equally satisfying volunteer position.
I'm so pleased I paid off that card I wanted to pay off when we did this last year!!!
1. Try to have SOME sort of schedule....which I know can be difficult with a little one.
2. (Moving this goal from last year) Make a presentation to DH on a retirement account, LTD plan (these dancers need long-term disability insurance for in the event they get injured), and life insurance. He is fantastic in regards to having money saved back for our major purchases and/or emergencies, but we need a plan for his long-term FUTURE!
3. Get super fit after baby!
4. Focus on being a good Mom
5. Initiate sex more with DH. He's not an initiator and I need to take more of a lead role.

HoneySpider- I don't think I accomplished my goals from this year either (except maybe losing my pg weight). So, for this year I'm keeping it simple and realistic like amaranth!
1. Get back into running while I can
2. Get on even more of a routine/schedule
3. Along with #2, get involved in activities with C
4. Move...who knows where but we're moving this year
5. Get pregnant...although I don't really consider that a goal since it's not like I can make it happen.

amaranth- I love your goal of "doing you" and being ok with that! Super important, especially with little ones. Keeping the house perfect, cooking gourmet meals, etc just isn't realistic when you have little one(s) that need your constant attention. THEY are the important things in life right now...it's a season and you are doing such a great job! Keep it up mama!
1. Sell our house. 2. Buy our forever home 3. Establish some sort of exercise routine 4. Plan and arrange all logistics for a long weekend away with just H before.. 5. ttc #2
I know I am SUPER late to the party on this one, I just haven't had time to post my goals, thanks for creating this post to jump start my brain lol!
I will make more detailed goals and post them to my motivational board, but off the top of my head here they are!
Financial: 1) Emergency Fund to 6 months living expenses 2) Continue to budget and get better about it 3) Find at least 1 way to trim expenses
Other: 1) Constantly de-clutter 2) Finish Wedding Scrapbook (roll over from 2015) 3) Continue to read more books 4) Take a big time vacation with H 5) Get H onto a Fire Department!!!
