I had a few goals for the first quarter of the year:
1. Finish the Book of Mormon (I finished on March 2)
2. Lose 15 pounds (I am beyond thrilled to say that I have lost 27 pounds since January 1!)
3. Complete 3 projects: Sew Valentine Pillows (January), Finish 2011 Photo book (February), Prepare for kids consignment sale (March)
I completed my January and February projects but had to skip March. The consignment sale I was going to do takes place on a weekend that Allen won't be in town and participants are required to work an 8 hour shift to sell at it. I'm super bummed. What I DID complete was going through every stitch of kids clothing that I have. It took me many, many hours over the course of a week but I now have everything separated by size and season stored in bins (meaning I have separate spring/summer and fall/winter bins for EVERY size). You know how it is, a 2T cardigan gets mixed in with the 3T stuff, etc. I knew I was missing some outfits for my little girls so I decided to tackle the entire thing. It was hideous but it is SO NICE to have it done. I will either find a consignment store or sale to sell out as soon as I get to WA. I have 10 boxes of outgrown kids clothes and maternity clothes to sell! Sheesh!
I also have a few longer-term goals I am working on for the year so I won't report on those yet but I am making good progress. My next quarter won't be quite as productive since our move falls during those months. I have a few things in mind though.
2nd Quarter goals:
1. Lose my last 10 pounds of weight (I know you're going to ask: cut carbs, lots of vegetables and lean protein, drink a gallon of a water every day)
2. Fun TOP SECRET project for Allen
3. Read Thomas S. Monson biography
4. Read the 1st 1/3 of Book of Mormon (to make sure I finish again by the end of the year)
5. Survive

Hello my long lost friend! I can't believe how much weight you've lost! I am so impressed. so impressed that I think you should call me with a little pep talk? I think we were in Colorado at the same time! One of these days we need to compare schedules. You are inspiring to me...I have no goals. LOL

I hope you are splurging on some cute new clothes - that is awesome that you have lost so much weight!!!
How did you lose 27 pounds. I must know. Seriously.
I've occasionally checked your Frost 365 blog to see if 2011 was completed. How did you finish your 2011 book? What company to you use to print them?
27 pounds?? Way to go!

I'm impressed with your giant kids clothes clean-out too. That was huge!
