This week has been pretty good. I haven’t started doing my pilates videos, but I have been exercising. Squats and walking, etc. My legs hurt! I kinda want to get some hand weights so I can work on my arms too. Maybe soon.

I have also been working on my projects. They are coming along quite nicely, however I have started another one! I’m trying to keep my focus on the two original projects though.

As for getting the apartment back together, it is getting there. We are moving our coffee table to my parents house so we can have more room in the living room. I’m excited about that! We have an awesome ottoman to use in the living room. My office is almost completely back to normal and I just have a few more things in the dining room. I still need to work on our bedroom but I have a couple more weeks to do that. Yay!

I hope everyone is working on their goals. Don’t forget to link up! (Click on the image above)

I’ve seen several bloggers posting about a specific word to inspire their goals for this year. I thought that was pretty brilliant so I decided to join in. My word for 2012 is Prosper.

pros·per/ˈpräspər/

Verb:   1. Succeed in material terms; be financially successful: “his business prospered”.
2. Flourish physically; grow strong and healthy.

I love the definitions of this word. It is perfect for my goals for this year. Especially since my biggest goals are to lose weight and getting our finances in order. Pretty fitting, huh.

I plan on blogging more about my goals throughout the year. What they are (since I’m still coming up with them!) and how I am in my progress. I am also doing the 3 in 30 challenge so I will be working on specific goals each month.

I’m really determined to keep up with my goals this year. I’m hoping the 3 in 30 challenge will help with accountability. Of course it would also help if my husband would remind me! Haha! I’m sure he will. It is much easier to work on your goals, or heck anything, when you have someone to help you and encourage you through it.

I would love to know what some of your goals are! And if anyone is interested in having an accountability partner, I’m open for that!

My goals for this month are simple. I need them to be, otherwise they won’t get done!

1. Exercise at least 3 days a week. I got some Pilates videos for Christmas and I am looking forward to trying them out!

2. Get the apartment back to normal. My 2 stepdaughters were here for two weeks and since it’s a fairly small apartment, things kinda got messy. So I’m working on cleaning and decluttering a little bit every day.

3. Finish my 2 craft projects. I am crocheting one and cross stitching the other. They are gifts so I can’t really say what they are. I will take pictures and post after they are received!

If you have your own goals, consider joining the 3 in 30 Challenge. (Click on the image above) And don’t forget to link up!
