Fail...Goals

Needless to say I fail. I worked out 2 days last week. I did great for 2 days and then resorted back to my couch potato trait, as I call it. I decided to make myself on the Sims 3. I added the couch potato trait because under the description it said this Sim will spend extra time watching TV and will avoid exercise at all costs. Yesterday I decided to write down my goals for the year, month, and week. I am hoping to get a planner so that if I write it down I'll be more likely to do it. Here are my goals:

Yearly Goals for 2012:

• Read the Book of Mormon all the way.(Either with Nick or by myself).
• Make a budget and stick to it.
• Get a job
• Lose 25 lbs. I figured that if I loose 2 lbs per month then it will be around 24 lbs a year.
• Work on children's book stories or ideas. (I want to write a children's book, and illustrate it)
• Keep apartment clean
• Control my temper. When I get upset sometimes I really get upset. But it usually only lasts a few minutes. I do not have a good outlet figured out, so my natural reaction is to hit or throw stuff.
• Eat more fruits and veggies.(hopefully we'll be able to do this more when we have jobs.)
• Do more crafts/drawing.
• Become better at the piano or other instruments.
• Eat out less.

Monthly:

• Read scriptures every day.
• Stick to my weekly budget.
• Lose 2 lbs
• Eat out once a month ONLY
• Work on drawing/art/stories or crafts, and finish 1.
• Have entire apartment clean by the end of the month.

Weekly:

• Read family scriptures every night, as well as personal scripture study.
• Plan meals-cook meals(no eating out).
• Exercise video 3 times a week Mon., Wed., Fri.
• Walk or ride bike 30-40 minutes Sun., Tues., Thurs. and Saturday.
• Draw/write/do crafts once a week or more.
• Clean 1 room every week (thoroughly)
• Practice piano/instrument everyday
• Hug, kiss Nick everyday
• When I get upset don't yell (breath)
• Do dishes everyday (ask Nick to help)<---his suggestion
• Stop being lazy (play Sims for 2 hrs only) set timer
• Say daily prayers and family prayers
• Eat fruit and veggies if possible.

Well today I did better, but I did not loose any weight. I think I gained a few lbs actually. I'm not sure I should consider the Wii Fit as an accurate measuring instrument. Well I did do my exercise video today, at least most of it. I kind of skipped what is called the squat phase. My heart was beating extremely fast, and usually I don't feel my heart beating unless I'm trying to with my finger. I was literally just breathing and my heart was pounding so hard  I could feel it. I also started feeling a little sick, I guess apple pie for breakfast doesn't count as a well balanced or nutritious breakfast. It is so hard to be healthy if you're poor. Basically you eat what is available. I had a banana and some chips cause I was feeling like my blood sugar level was off. Then I finished with the ab work out phase. Now I am going to have a turkey sandwich, with lettuce cheese and mayo and mustard. I found a option on my work out video that is just an ab work out. It is 10 minutes long. I think I will try that tomorrow...maybe. I only played the Sims for 2 1/2 hrs. which is somewhat impressive. I know some of my goals seem extreme and some not extreme at all. Hear is hoping I can accomplish them.
