Once again it is time for personal accountability! I have to say I had a great week. I really good about the direction of things in my life and my business. First of all I am getting consistent affiliate sales. This is such a great thing because it is the first time I have had consistent affiliate sales. So my business is going well! Next I have been working on two personal goals that I have.
My first personal goal:
Losing weight. Isn’t that what most of us want to do. For me this is a huge deal. I have literally never been thin. I have never been fit! In high school I hovered around 175lbs. Since then I have steadily gained weight. I have lost 20lbs here and 30lbs there but I have always gained it back and some more. After having four children this also has added to my weight gain. So I am going to tell you I am starting out at 274lbs. So this week I got my Christmas present early! I got a Bodybugg. What is a Bodybugg you ask! It is what the Biggest Loser contestant,on the hit show on NBC,wear strapped to their arms. It calculates the calories they burn. The Bodybugg comes with a free 6 month subscription to their online program. Which helps you keep track of your calories consumed as well.
Now I got the Bodybugg on Wednesday,so I started on Thursday. I am on track to lose about three pounds this week. I am so excited because it gives me the control to know how much I am consuming and burning. If I haven’t burned enough toward the end of the day I go do something active. It may be something as little as going and doing the dishes or walking up and down the stairs a few times. I am really excited because I have a lot of hope that I will be able to lose all of this weight. My goal is to lose 130 lbs by December 2010. I need to lose 2.5lbs a week in order to do this!
My next goal is new.
I have decided to start writing a book. I have no idea if it will ever get published but I really feel like this is something I have wanted for a very long time and never knew it! Have you ever experienced that? This week I have begun. I have many plots and story lines bouncing around in my head. Yesterday I began by naming my characters and writing there backgrounds down. I am working on my grammar and punctuation. I know that I am not really great at that but with practice I will master it. I just know it!
Okay so onto what I accomplished this week! Here is what I did out of my personal accountability goals:
- Complete 5 auto responder messages.- I did four.
- Complete 10 pre-scheduled blog posts for my blogs. –I did twelve.
- Complete 5 Squidoo Lenses. –I didn’t complete any.
- Continue to write in my gratitude journal and affirmations –I missed two days.
As you can see I did pretty well for this week. This coming week I will be volunteering at a Scholastic Book fair on Tuesday so that day is completely wiped out from my schedule. The rest of the week I will have limited time to work because of exercising and family obligations.
Here are my personal accountability goals for this coming week:
- Complete 6 Squidoo Lenses.
- 5 auto responder messages.
- Set up four or five blog posts for my affiliate blog
That is it short and sweet! I have a lot to get do this week on a personal basis with Christmas around the corner and my oldest daughter has a birthday this month too. I would not recommend having a December baby! It makes life complicated!
I hope you all have a great week and enjoy this season of the year!
