65 in 365 . . .

I stole this idea from Snarky mom.

Tara at Mom Jeans and Minivans has also done the same thing.

These ladies have totally inspired me and I loved the idea of 65 in 365.

The idea of this is to accomplish these 65 things within the next 365 days.

Can I do it?

We'll see!

Here's my list

  1. Read the bible cover to cover with the help of a bible reading guide
  2. Be more involved in church
  3. Continue on my path to getting healthy and reach my goal weight
  4. Learn to be more comfortable in my own skin
  5. Faithfully use a skin care routine, eye cream, moisturize etc.
  6. Take more time off to attend school functions with Maddie
  7. Make a point to have "date night" with Jeff on a more regular basis
  8. Exercise 3-4 times a week
  9. Establish a better morning routine. No more sleeping until the very last second
  10. Go to bed earlier!

Those look like very ambitious and worthy goals - I hope you see success!

I'm right there with ya on the whole getting to bed earlier in order to rise earlier. I've just begun working on the whole bed making thing in the last few weeks too! HA! We really are 'birds of a feather'!

I started the 101 in 1001 days last year. It definitely helps to have goal written down!
