* I will not eat a huge bowl of ice cream while watching "Biggest Looser".
* I will get the kitchen and living rooms clean before T gets home from work. (I don't mean spotless, but able to see the floor. Let's not get carried away.)
* I will read more "real" books that adults read.
* I will watch what I say in public better and I will try to keep my "I want people to like me" mask at home.
Those are all the things that I think are do-able. Over reaching depresses me and I don't deal with failure well. Exercising and Diets are all good, but I am not at that point yet. Lack of overindulging while watching TV is about the best I can do right now.
Tidiness is important to Big T even though it has never been so for me. I want him to be happy, so that is something I will work on for him.
I want to be more of an adult and reading is such a part of who I am that I need to read more things that inspire me to do better--but not self-help books. They are too obvious for me. I prefer to figure out the metaphor myself even though I am not subtle at all.
I embarrassed myself last night at RS and I don't want to come home and tell Big T about it and have the, "you embarrass me when you do things like that, too" look on his face. To his credit, he didn't say it out loud, but I want to feel like I am not just endured. I want to be loved for who I am and I let that cloud my judgment in that I start saying and doing things that are not who I truly am.
Let's see how long I can make an effort to reach these goals. Have a great self-improvement day!
I was just going through my bookshelves and thinking I needed to read more of all the kid books I own. Winnie the Pooh? Loving it so far.
ReplyDeleteGreat goals. I'm especially with you on the housecleaning one--as long as I can leave the nightly sweeping to BD :)
Beautiful family photo!
Maybe you didn't really embarrass yourself at RS. Or maybe you did. But I think we females replay too many things in our head when we should just move on. No do-overs dangit, so why dwell on it? That's my goal too.
ReplyDeleteSee how you don't need to even read self help books because I leave snippets of it on your blog?
I love your goals. Having reasonable expectations of yourself is good and not beating up on yourself when you slip up is good advice too.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to think back on all the things I said at any social function. I tend to hurry and bury those things deep in my mind where I won't recall them!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on making manageable goals. So many people I know love to eat while watching that show!
It is always best to set goals that you know you can do. Now if I could only remember that.
