Today, I want to lightly pat myself for making it to three posts in a week. That is one goal complete for the week! How exciting! I really need to formulate a better list for myself of goals for the week though, so I can do a weekly post on how my goals are doing- instead of this daily rehash on goals :) I think Fridays- or the third post of the week (since I have no clue what days I'll blog in three weeks when I finally meet my dream of Stay-At-Home Mom~dom!) I will post on my goals, if they have changed, how I'm doing on preset goals, and if I have added any. Right now, I need to review (sad this is only post three and I need to review) what goals I have thus far...
Daily Goals: (I only count weekdays: weekends are freedom days in my opinion)
Clean Kitchen Daily (all dishes done, counters and table wiped)
Make the bed each morning
Pick up house each evening
Prep tomorrow's dinner (like put meat for defrost in fridge, etc.) each evening
Make tomorrow's to-do list each evening
Weekly Goals:
Clean House (sweep, vacuum, bathroom, you know the normal stuff)
Knit 3 times
Blog 3 times
These are the only ones for the moment. Soon after baby, I will be restarting my C25K. I miss it sooo much, and now that I have exercise clearance again from my doctor it's much to cold to go outside. And I think I'll pass on treadmil while 8.5 months pregnant. Probably not so smart. I will have to go slow, maybe not even run at all the first little while, but to walk again for a good length of time (not this 10 minutes or less thing) will be wonderful!! I know Caly (my beautiful almost 5 year old dog) has missed it! And to be able to do my yoga and strength training again will be great!!! I never thought I would be the kind to miss working out. Maybe that will be a good goal for next week- try and attempt three prenatal yoga poses three times. Yes! It's brilliant!
So Goals for 2/17/12:
three prenatal yoga poses tried three different times
and work on switching laundry from once a week to two days with 1-2 loads/day (cloth diapers will make this go up to 3x a week at least, and i'm hoping to do as other simple living moms and put at least one load in a day. sounds much easier that way)
I think that looks like plenty of kaizen for me... after all slow improvements right? I just need enough things to focus on to get me through these next 3.5 (more or less) weeks without going totally nuts. My nesting is starting to wind down, but I still have so much I would love to accomplish. Especially in our basement! And luckily that is our family project for the weekend! We are de-molding the storage room, re-organizing basically the whole basement (right now it looks like a random storage unit), and then just do the all around spring clean to it. I will then be going through our massive "goodwill" pile and deciding if I'm up to putting things on craiglist type deal I have access to or if we are just loading it all up for a goodwill run. The best part is that I actually enjoy doing this sort of cleaning! i just wish the basement weren't so cold. But, alas, I really need to clean my main floor today in preparation for tomorrow... enough procrastination... Clean time!
