So I'm not so good at this blogging weekly thing. I'd like to blame it on being a new mom, the crazy stuff that comes up on a daily basis, or the fact that March is always busy, but it's solely my own fault. I take the time to check emails, Nest, and do other computer stuff. So I don't really have an excuse.
Anyway, here are a few things that I'm currently working on or have already completed:
6. Lose the rest of my baby weight and get down to a healthy weight for me (3/5, 0/25)
I'm down to 157 from starting this at 160. I officially started on this one on 3/2 at 160 pounds, and am already ahead of my goals. Following the one pound per week rule, I intend to be down to 130 by Jeffery's first birthday. By the way, I have before pictures for this one, but I'm so not going to post those until I have some awesome after pictures!
31. Look into the Spouses to Teachers program
I called about this today, and the program is getting revamped to go worldwide in April, so they couldn't do a ton for me. But I got some great information, and know where to begin now. The good news is that it looks like I can finally start working on my R.D. certification. I just need to find a school to do it with. That will be fun.
42. Make sampler burp cloths
I started making some of these, then realized that I need more supplies. JoAnn Fabrics here I come!
I totally plan on doing more in the coming week. I'm off to a slow start, but I'll pick up speed.

Intro/Explanation
Since my first attempt was such an epic failure, I'm going to try this again. This time, I have more defined goals in mind, and am hoping that I can get some friends on board (since we're back in the States now) to help keep me accountable. I will start today, July 14th, 2012, which gives me until April 11, 2015.
It seems forever away, but as I learned the first time, it goes FAST! In the meantime, I've edited my list in the sidebar according to what I got accomplished (not much), until I can get my revised list completed and posted.
