SMART habit Saturday-February review and March goals



*If you would like more information about SMART habit Saturday or want to know what other people are being SMART about, check out Lara at The Lazy Organizer.

February Review- Click here to see what my goals were for February. Unfortunately my habits fell to the wayside for most of the month while Brad was ill and I was injured. It was hard keep up on the general tidiness of the house and exercise while my mobility was limited. Going back to my January goal, meal planning, while I didn't post menu plans for the last couple of weeks, I did do basic menu plans. Meals were very simple around here. Soups, sandwiches, pizza and pastas. We did eat out a little bit more as well but these things happen.

March Goals- I really like the general tidiness goal and my chore list. I am going to focus on this for the first half of the month only, and hope that I have a success rate of 11 days or better in the first 2 weeks.

I have NO CHOICE but to continue with the exercise goal. In fact, I have to adapt it a little as well. At my last doctor's appointment I was told I should be doing at least 45 minutes of mild to moderate exercise everyday. So my goal now is swimming with Ryan twice a week, yoga dvd 3 times a week and a 45 minute walk EVERYDAY.

In the second half of March I want to move on to a new goal. I will need to start getting ready for the baby's arrival. There is work to be done on our main level, there is a junk room to be cleaned out, there are meals to plan for, make ahead and freeze, there is baby laundry to be done, the boys room needs to be organized a little better with room to be made for the new baby's items, there are things to get together for a possible garage sale, and definitely things to put together for the baby sale. I will tackle each task 1 or 2 weeks at a time starting mid March and going into April.

SMART-update

My SMART habits for February are hit and miss so far. My kitchen and general tidyness have been distracted by general not feeling well and just wanting to crash most nights after dinner. Hopefully this weekend I will get things back on track and get caught up on some household chores.

My exercise program is also hit and miss. I bought my pool membership and have been twice with Ryan. (That doesn't give me so much of a workout but at least it is better than being at home on my butt playing with toys, watching TV or in front of my computer.) I did my yoga DVD 1 time. And I didn't get out to walk (not even at the mall) at all. The weather is very cold again and so I can't get outside to get the fresh air and sunshine I think I am craving. The more this cold weather drags on, the more I feel compelled to just cuddle up with a pillow, blanket, good book or movie and just hibernate. Getting out, it will do me good. I know this.

I hope you are having a good weekend and are being successful at being SMART.
