2013

What are your goals for 2013? 
Are they the same goals you list every year? Will this be the year you accomplish or make progress towards these goals?

I sure hope this is my year...Mine are the usual goals everyone makes, but I am hoping this year I will keep and make progress towards each goal:
1. Save Money
2. Pay off Debt (Dave Ramsey would be so ashamed of me, in less than a year, I have racked up credit card debt again - I went two whole years without ever using a credit card)
3. Exercise
4. Eat Healthy (with these my overall goal is to lose weight)
5. Volunteer

It is January 9 already, what have I done towards these goals so far??
1,2. Made a "new" budget
3. Went on a hike, a walk, and to a zumba class
4. Made an objective (yes, the SLP in me...) to eat at least 20 meals at home every week...beforehand, there were days I would eat all 3 meals in a day out (resturant and fast food) ....this again leads to saving money.
5. There is a volunteer orientation this Saturday at the Humane Society. I have always wanted to volunteer at one, but I know I would adopt every animal if I could. At least here in Kauai, I am unable to have animals where I live, so maybe this is the best time to give back in this area!

Christmas vacation was great - it was so nice to be home (in Texas) with my family and some of my friends! Each time I return home, part of me does not want to leave but there is a bigger part that sees that everyone/thing is okay and that I can go off and live my travel dream!
