Back in January I posted my 2011 goals. Well, I figured it’s time to post an update (finally). As a recap, here are the goals that I posted and an update on each one.
- Post more deals on Snag A Bargain. I know I haven’t posted as much as I should and I will remedy that. - Still working on this one. With illnesses running rampant through our household these last few months, I have not been able to really do this properly.
- Work on growing this site. - Work in progress but have made some great strides!
- Finish Painting. We moved to a new house this year and I still haven’t finished. - DONE!
- Unpack all of the boxes from the move. - Still working on this one!
- Start decorating. As I unpack everything, I will finally be able to start decorating! - Haven’t started this one yet.
- Finally set up my office. – Still working on this one.
- Find a job. - No luck yet.
- Setup a monthly grocery budget. I will be trying the cash envelope system. – While I have not tried the cash envelope system, I have been doing great cutting our grocery budget. Still want to cut it some more.
- Learn to manage my time. – Wow…I put that on there. Well, I am still trying to figure this one out. Maybe once I set up my office it will be easier.
- Save money for a Memorial Day weekend vacation to Storyland and our annual summer camping trip to Sebago Lake in Maine! - It’s tough saving money when you don’t have any money to save but I am glad to report that both trips are booked!
- Get in shape – I have started this one by cutting out soda and I am glad to report that I have lost 12 lbs!
So as you can see, I still have some work to do but I am making progress!
How are you doing on your 2011 goals?

Cutting out soda was the hardest thing for me to do. I enjoyed it way too much. I have noticed that I am a lot more tired these days. I guess that’s what happens when you cut out the majority of your caffeine! It will take some time for my body to adjust and then I’ll be bursting with energy (I hope)!
I am drinking maybe 1 diet soda a day, but I drink lemon water like crazy and coffee.
I think you’re doing great. Way better than I am.
Congrats!
