Goals

I have written my goals and made a nice little page with pictures of Pandora beads that I will earn for meeting them. My husband has been apprised of the goals and what it will take to get there. (God help him if he continues to offer me ice cream trips and other such treats. He loves to spoil me.)

I have a blackberry and I love to get neat little program to help me. Can you say Technology Junkie? Seriously, I need a support group. I bought a program called HabitMaster. You can put your goals in and then daily you check off if you reached your goal that day. It maintains the percentage that you achieve. Neat huh? The only problem is that it is daily. I put my goals in with percentages so I know how I am doing. For instance...Exercise might only be 60% of days since I am only aiming for 4 out of 7 days minimum. I hope that makes sense.

Here they are:
Getting up on time 75% of the time (66 days) Get up within 15 minutes of the alarm
Water Consumption 72% of 60 days At least 1-32 ozbottle of water and additional liquids.
Keeping the house straight 80% of the time (130 day) Cleaning on Saturday or Sunday. Picking up clutter every evening (Hot spots-counter, front foyer)
Exercise 60% of 80 days At least 30 minutes
Stay on points for 90% of 30 days Only use 5-10 allowance points on any day for a special occasion.
Cooking dinner 72% of 90 days

I have a pandora bead attached to each of these as well as losing my 10% and reaching goal. Many would wonder why I have attached such a condition to the Stay on points on. Well...I have a bad habit...Binging or overindulging. When I do I rationalize that I can just use my allowance. There are many times when I use my entire 35 point allowance on the first or second day of my week and then I am at a lose for the remainder of the week. If I go over slightly again, I give up and start next week, blah, blah, blah. I did a lot better with a points range. I would eat at the bottom end but know I could go to the top end. Putting that condition on mirrors that.

Anyway. We are off for a fun filled day of the Wine Festival and dinner. I am taking the samples and hubby is designated driver. As a person who rarely drinks this should be interesting. I know the points will not be pretty but we are planning salads for lunch and dinner to accomodate. I can also use that 10 today.
