Working on Goals

Today, I tried to work on some of my plans for the upcoming year. I kept my plans to work out by getting on my treadmill. I only exercised for ten minutes but I burned the same amount of calories that I usually do in twenty minutes. I may jog for another ten minutes before I lie down in my bed tonight.

I have also been working on increasing my residual income. I plan for this to come from online writing. I was not able to write for residual pay before because in my prior residence my rent was high and we had to pay for all our utilities. Luckily, we are now in a new place with the same amount of space but it is a few hundred dollars less. In addition, we do not have to pay for gas so we are saving money with this too. While I have a little more leniency with what I make from jobs that pay me upfront, I want to plan for the future. I have joined the Ultimate Blog Challenge so that I will make a commitment to this blog and be consistent in my writing. I also wanted to find an audience for this blog.

Here is an inspirational song to remind us of our goals and to work hard at it.

Happy New Year's!

I stayed in last night for new Year's Eve. Instead of trying to go out with a toddler who is very energetic toddler I just celebrated at home with my family. My husband cooked a nice seafood dinner and he bought a bottle of wine that I had asked for. We had a nice dinner together and my daughter and husband were asleep by 10:00. I stayed up to watch the ball drop on the television as I sat in front of the computer.

I began to think about the positive changes that I wanted to make in the upcoming year. It seems I always choose resolutions that sound good but then I never accomplish it. I think I have to take things one step at a time and make some changes that are realistic. I definitely want to continue the jobs that I have found online. I am always applying to jobs I could do at the computer when I have time. This year I would like to work on more residual income as well. I just want to write for my blog and some revenue share websites so that I can slowly build an audience and see some revenue for my efforts.

I also would like to work on adding an addition to the family. After I had a miscarriage two weeks ago I have started to long for another child. I did not feel the need as much before the incident but know I guess I am looking to replace it.

I also want to work on being more fit. I have days where I am good about activity but it does get hard. I find it  challenging sometimes because I have my daughter home with me and I am trying to make some extra income online. I try to get my exercise in with her sometimes.

Those are things I would like to accomplish. I will do my best to work to take my time and slowly strive to make these changes.

The following is pictures of my family. I wanted to add them so you can get to know me more.
