2014 Goals and Resolutions

March 3, 2014

Well, I usually do this every January.  But it seems like we are already in March and I haven’t done much (or anything at all) in this department.  Last year I made the mistake of make so many (some unrealistic) goals as well as breaking them down into quarterly goals.  I didn’t really meet many of these goals, but here is what I did do:

I lost 40 lbs – I know that’s pretty good.  I’m back to my high school weight, this is a pretty big deal.  But I still have more to go.

I organized most (not all) of my storage spaces.

I self-published 7 patterns (one of which is a freebie).

Finished one UFO, here it is.

Organized a winter rotating trunk show (instead of summer), does that count?

Start a Triangles, Diamonds, and Squares…Oh My! blanket – I finished it too!!!  Not in exactly the colors I had in mind, but very similar.

I am now realizing that some of my goals were completely unrealistic… like eliminating chocolate and dairy from my diet.  Was I crazy to think this was possible?!?!?!  Those are my two main food groups!

 

Here are my goals for 2014:

Loose 35 lbs.

Exercise 2-3 times a week (maybe join a gym).

Self-publish 5 patterns (two down, three to go).

Learn to sew and quilt! (I have already signed up for a sewing class in April and a Quilting class on Craftsy).

Waste less food (I’m actually pretty good about this, but I want to get better… I could improve when it comes to leftovers).

Finish one UFO older than 2 years (what shall it be this time???).

Finish my sock yarn Triangles, Diamonds, & Squares… Oh My! blanket I have 97 squares so far — I’m loving it so far, not sure how big I’m going to make it.

Become more active online and social media outlets like Ravelry, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, & Instagram.
