Goal Update

I wanted to drop in to re-evaluate the goals I made in January. We've done well with some of them, and not as well with others.

• Drink more water- I can do better! But I have been more conscientious about it.
• Save money on food (through a variety of ways). January was horrible. I was ashamed to do so poorly on this goal in the first month. But February was much better, and not just because it was a short month, but because we really are saying 'no' more often to alcohol and cheap takeout. We are throwing away less leftovers (room for improvement, though). I am hoping to do even better in March!
• Eat more veggies. Yep. Going well.
• Adopt a dog. This almost happened already, but didn't. We really feel like we need a fence first. But if the perfect dog comes along before then, we will make an exception.
• Build a fence. Bought the first few posts and rails this weekend! Just need winter to go away so we can put them up!
• Garden. Too early to do this, but really need to order my seeds. Like, today.
• Serve more. Trying. 
• Rise early. Ya'll, I've been trying so hard. I set my alarm for, say 6:12 a.m. and no joke, one or both of the kids will wake at 6:10. I know the sun is coming up earlier, but honestly, it's been discouraging. I feel like it might be a spiritual attack. I just want 10-15 minutes of prayer and Bible time and coffee and in the quiet of the day and I cannot get it. The kids just started waking this early when I made the goal. It's seriously crazy. I don't know if I just need to start rising at 5:45? That's so early, though!
• And in February I wanted to work out for 28 days (lol!). To be fair, I got the stomach bug TWICE in February (nope. not pregnant. I know you were thinking it.) Plus I just had one really bad week with the kids where I was consumed by keeping us all alive and sane that working out got shelved. That being said, I definitely worked out at least 14 days- so 1/2 the time! That's 100% more than I was working out before.  My metabolism boosted and I got into a good habit. 

That's it. Sorry, boring post. Just need to keep myself accountable.
