Goal Setting {Week 2}

After my mostly successful first week, I'm using this forum again to gain some accountability for a new week's goals! 

I sat down with my coffee this morning (anyone else's favorite time of the day?) and came up with the following list:

Goals for the week of March 10-16

1) Drink 4+ glasses of water each day

2) Focus on real food - No fast food or gorging on junk snacks

3) Dannon's Birthday!  (Wrap gifts, make cake)

4) Follow week 2 of 4 Weeks to a More Organized Home challenge

5) Wake up with alarm

6) Sell $85 worth of stuff and pay natural gas bill

7) Consignment sale prep

You'll notice my first two goals... I have felt pretty crummy over the last few days and I'm attributing that to not being aware of my water intake AND splurging on junk that wasn't in our budget and didn't agree much with my body.  The crap food I consumed over the weekend included a late night Dairy Queen snack of chicken strips & fries, Mt Dew, cheese cake complete with cherry pie filling, pizza, donuts and multiple Cadbury Creme Eggs.  I tend to go through periods of zero impulse control, and then I pay for it massively.  Enough is enough!  Its one thing to have a treat (or fulfill a pregnancy craving... thats where the Cadbury eggs came into play) occasionally, but I need to do a better job of cutting myself off.

I wrote "Consignment sale prep" as a goal for the week, and I'm not quite sure how I'm going to measure that.  I'm consigning at my second Super Kids Resale next month and I've got a lot to do between now and then to get ready!  There is definitely work involved in being a consignor at these types of sales, but its really something that I look forward to.  I have fun volunteering during the sale, I LOVE shopping the sale and I really love the check that comes a few weeks after the sale.  The income from the sale will be very beneficial to us this year, but I'm also at a bit of a disadvantage with our desire to leave the gender of our baby unknown until birth.  IF we knew we were having a girl, there are a lot of baby boy items I could tag for the sale and if we knew the gender I would also be able to stock up on clothes and other items we're needing for baby at a great discount.  But... since thats not the case, I will come up with a list of items that we're needing that can be gender neutral and I'm sure I'll find more than a few good bargains during the sale!
