New Year's Goals/Resolutions Check-In

Well, it's the middle of the year now. Most of us made some goals for the new year in January. How many of us remember those? I thought this would be a good time to check our progress. To re-cap,

Here is the list of goals I had for the year 2013:

• exercise more
• be more conscious of what and how much I eat
• take more time to look better (I am a "throw it on and go" type of person. This means that I usually just grab a pair of pants and t-shirt and put my hair in a clip and keep it moving. So this year, I want to make sure to improve on this)
• stop making excuses for not doing things
• promote my Etsy shop more http://www.etsy.com/shop/BettysBlock?ref=si_shop
• increase the quantity and quality of the items in my Etsy shop
• do more paintings
• get out of the house more
• be a better blogger!
• get more organized

Now, let's see how I'm doing:

• The exercise thing - not doing too well. I do exercise for a few days, then get lazy again :(
• The eating thing is kind of the same way for me too. I will watch what I eat, then get a crazy sweet tooth and start eating more junk food. :(
• I still make excuses for doing some things (like the first two goals!), but I am improving and getting more done, which is my goal :)
• I have been promoting my shop more than before. :)
• I have slowly but surely (and continue to) increased the quantity and quality of what I have in my shop. :)
• Sadly, I have not done any paintings lately. :)
• I have gotten out of the house more and socialized more, which is a great way to help me keep what little sanity I have left! (I'm sure you stay at home moms understand this one!) :)
• I'm not sure if I am a better blogger yet. But I have been trying to post a little more and keep it interesting. But I know I still have work to do. :)
• I think I have been more organized in things. That helps keep everything running a little smoother. :)

This is my progress so far. As you can see, I still have some work to do! But that is the point of setting goals - taking the steps to get where you are trying to be in that area of your life. So how have you been doing on your goals for the year?
