Update 2

It has now been over 2 months since my birthday.

30 for 30

1. I am going to lose 30+lbs. - so far 2lbs. I need to work harder. add 3 more lbs lost. Ok no slacking for me!!!!
2. I will get a tattoo. I am not solid on choice as of yet. - getting closer to an idea. Down to two ideas.
3. I am going to read 30+ books. A lot of them will be re-reading those I have not read in years.  I have read a total of 8 books so far. 
4. I am not going to wear a ponytail for 30 days. (only allowed to use one when working out) - have not even started this. Ponytails are my go to...it is hard to give that up.
5. I will do 30 DIY projects from Pintrest that I have Pinned. - 2 down. 3 so far
6. I will go see The Hobbit (second part) and Lone Ranger in theater. (I went to exactly one movie this past year, I love going to the movies.) - haven't been to the movies yet this year but my 2 for sure are still a long way off. No movie going yet.
7. I will blog 30x's on this blog. I suck at keeping up at this so...this has made the list to get done this year. - 14 done this has been easier than I had thought. at 22
8. I will go to the beach by myself at least once every month and document by pictures or sand art. - January done! now to find a date for myself this month March still needs to be done.
9. I will take monthly pics of myself for both proof of weight loss and seeing how much I can or will change over the year. - done at the bottom of the page bottom of page
10. I will send out cards every month to my girlfriends. I love being able to send a smile to those I love. the month is not over yet. but I missed out in Valentines card sent by mail...Almost ready to be sent. 
11. I will learn how to write in Elvish. - I play around with it. more pics coming later slacked off so far this month
12. I will save $ for both a Kitchen Aide Mixer and a computer. I have a post coming up on that. Not much saved at all as of yet. have started but need to make a post
13. I will work hard at keeping my garden running all season long. - I cleaned out the dead and rotten areas of my garden and have it all ready for new plantings soon. Garden growing 
14. I will clean out the shelving in the barn so I can store my Season's Totes. - i have not even stepped into the barn in that area. started working on a certain area so that I can start moving totes in.
15. I will keep my toes painted and not chipped and gross looking. (cause i hate that) - right now I am soaking my feet in vinegar for the next few weeks to get them all soft and healthy. Then I need to expand my nail polish for my toes.  Have not gone to a salon yet.
16. I will create a Happiness Jar. - I have a post for that still have to post it. but i like it
17. I will send a secret to Post Secret. - I have an idea on what i am going to do with it. working on it still
18. I will set a bed time for myself and keep it. -bedtimes suck esp on nights where I dont have to be up early the next day but as you see I am not doing a good job of keeping my 1030 bedtime. i am in my pj's and plan on going to bed when i finish this. Have not really done this. It is hard to do when i start reading because I start reading around 10 and the next thing I know it is 2am.
19. I will not feel guilty for needing me time. - that is tough to do.  I know I need it but still I feel bad about abandoning my child with his father or my parents for hrs at the time and feel bad for putting the work on my hubby. 
20. I will drink my allotted amount of water everyday. - I am drinking like a fish. I have to pee every 2 min i feel like. but I am getting in my 100+oz of water. If i dont get my 100+oz of water a day I get headaches and my lips are so chapped. 

Family List

1. I will organize our family's important paperwork, keep it organized and get rid of unneeded paperwork. -this week actually i have started on that. i have gotten rid of some usless paperwork that was taking up so much room. it is really nice having paperwork put away.
2. I will be better at having family meals everyday. We need to work on this. - ask the hubby. this is hard esp after this time change.
3. I will take advantage of Florida weather with my family. I tend to be an inside person but I need to use this wonderful weather and plan things for outside adventures, like going on picnics  hikes, playing at playgrounds, and of course going to the beach. - we are doing a lot outside on beautiful days here at home. we went on a beach picnic this past weekend. we are outside alot more this year so far. Spending time working on the yard or going to the beach. 
4. I will try my best not to yell when I am angry. I have a tendency to be loud and yell when I am angry or upset. My husband and son don't need me yelling at them.  - Yelling a little less i think. It is hard to get rid of old habits.
5. I will de-clutter my house. I have so many things that are not needed and will help with my savings if I have a few yard-sales. i have a ton of stuff to sell. want to have my yard sale this month.
6. I will not be lazy in my appearance. Yes I got my man but that does not mean I don't have to work hard at keeping him. So....yes shaving, and grooming can't go slack. Not that I am a gross person and don't try but I will work harder in making sure my husband feels as special or even more special then he use to when we were dating. That includes no more ratty tee-shirts to bed. - yea i have to keep reminding myself that the 4 min to shave is not going to waste but yet i love my ratty tee shirts have gotten rid of some of my old clothes.
7. I will read to Gavin everyday. - yes so far this has become my favorite part of the day. 
8. I will begin painting and updating my house so it can really be our home. - working on planning colors still in all the rooms. no paint as of yet 
9. I will kiss my husband everyday. That also includes days we are mad at each other. I will tell my son EVERYDAY I love him. I will make sure my family feels as loved as I love them. Because they are my life. - I have done this. I feel that this is very important and make sure I say it whenever i get a chance. ok this has not happened because we have had some really bad times. and when we argue it is hard to remember we need that physical contact.

Pic time.

Now for me....hehe
