Finishing Work and Making (short term) Goals!

Tomorrow is my last day at my job!  (I know I was supposed to be done at the end of the month, but my replacement fell through and they couldn't get someone new to start until this week so I agreed to stay for this week to train the new girl.)  I actually ended up working a full 4 weeks since I put in my notice.  That was not part of the plan, but oh well!

I'm super excited!  I keep thinking about all the great things I'll have time for now- like getting in shape, writing, reading, scrapbooking, sewing, etc.

But I also worry a little bit about my self-discipline.  Writing is a lot of work and it takes a lot of time.  Setting aside that time might be tough.  Working out is so great and I always feel awesome after doing it, but being motivated enough to put on my gym clothes and head over there is not so easy.

So I think I need to set some goals for myself.  Here are my goals for the time I have between now and the cruise:

• Work out at least 4 times per week/get back on track with weight loss
• Read a book
• Play around with the book ideas I have, and figure out which one to really work on
• Get caught up with my scrapbook pages
• Make dinner at least 4 weeknights per week (so Aaron doesn't have to!)

I think these are reasonable goals.  I mean, I'm sure I could do more (and I'll certainly try to do more than this) but I'm also excited to have some flex time that I can use for other things that come up.

And with regard to my workout goal... This is so true, and it's exactly why I hate using the exercise machines that face the mirrors:

Happy Easter weekend!
