Some new goals...

I'm setting some new goals for myself to implement over the next few weeks. My original blog starting goals have kinda gone by the wayside....I haven't really found more healthy meal options for my husband and I to eat, I haven't started potty training my daughter, and I haven't worked with my oldest two on learning how to read. I am using more coupons and trying to save money on groceries (aside from a coupon break the last couple weeks) and I am sewing (and greatly enjoying that one!). I've also made it my goal that I will not sew on any given day until I have read my Bible. I am very much one to get started on something and keep going, forgetting all else that needs to be done. Because of that, I didn't want to skip out on the most important part of my day - spending time alone in God's' word. Nothing else I do can compare to the richness of digging deeper and learning all that I can about my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! That said, there are still some personal goals I want to work toward as well. My husband and I recently re-joined the gym near our house. I thoroughly enjoy exercising and am hoping it will do me some good (as in losing some weight!). I've got remnants of three pregnancies hanging around my midsection and am hoping it is not too late to get rid of that! I also have decided to go on a dairy free diet. I've toyed around with the idea, but never really gone through with it because of my love for cheese. But with my skin staying broken out all the time, I think I really should try it. Also, since I really want to lose some weight, and have an insane sweet tooth, the dairy free diet should help me stay away from most sweets. I don't have much self control to stay away from them otherwise. But if I know it might help clear up my skin....hopefully that is more motivation! I'll see how things go and hopefully all this will be doable!
