It’s been one month, and I’ve made a little progress on my goals.  I’m going to try to update the goals monthly and make any changes that I need to.

So without any further ado here are my Goals as of January:

Health Goals

• Quit Smoking
• Lose 20 pounds
• Visit the doctor for a checkup
• Visit the dentist for a checkup
• Visit the optometrist for a checkup

House Goals

• Replace bathroom sink
• Get a lawnmower
• Store 1 week food and water
• Setup back garden

Finance Goals

• Get 3 months living expenses in a high yield savings account - Currently, I have this in place but most of the money has been pegged for the wedding.  I’m going to try to keep adding to it while the money is still there.
• Pay off credit cards - As of Jan 31, one of 2 paid off completely.
• Do not carry a balance on credit cards
• Track expenses - I have tracked spending throughout Jan
• Get life insurance

Misc Goals

• Get a library card
• Double visitor website traffic
• Restart Digital Pincushion - I’ve been running the blog, not as frequently as I would like, but it is still starting out.
• Get CISSP certification - Took the test Jan 27th.  Waiting for the results
• Read at least 50 books this year - I’ve finished 2 books and am almost done with “Jonathan Strange & Mister Norrell”.  At this pace, I am only on track to read 36 books this year, so I will need to pick it up a bit.
