Come on Let's Motivate!

Well, since no one ever updates this blog but me, I thought that I would update everyone on how my goals are going. Well, I have decided what to do with my life, at least for the next year or two. I am going to go to SUU and get me a bachelors degree in English. I haven't been doing too well with the nail biting, but I am not as bad as I could be. So far I have read 13 books this year, and I have finished the Book of Mormon, finally! I am saving my money like crazy, especially since I will be moving out in about two months and living on my own! Which I am very excited and nervous about. I have been a lot more positive lately, especially after reading The Power of Positive Thinking. That book really inspired me. I have been doing some scrapbooking. In fact I think that I got about four pages done, since the beginning of this year. So that is how my goals are going so far.
Now, I think that everyone who is participating in this blog should post about how their goals are going for this year. We should not put this blog to waist. It is a great idea and since it is the middle of the year I think we all need a reminder to work on our goals, I know I do! So everyone who is working on their goals for this year keep on going I know that you can accomplish what you want!

"The Power of Positive Thinking"

So as one of my goals for this year is to be more positive, and since I made Libby mad venting to her, I was recommended a book called The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale. I haven't quite finished reading the book but I have already noticed a difference in my attitude. This book is full of great advice on how to think more positively about everything. If anyone is being negative or depressed I would definitely recommend this book.

How Did I Do?

So the year is almost over and here is a summary of how I did with my goals for this year. My first goal was to Be Positive. For the most part I think that I was positive most of the time. I had some bad days but I blame school and stress for those days. My second goal was to learn how to budget. From about January to May I had to budget for my finance class that I was taking, after that semester I've been better with my money but I haven't really kept a budget. My third goal was to quit biting my nails. I didn't really accomplish this goal. I don't bite my nails a lot, I more like trim my nails when they get too long for me. My final goal was to read 25 books this year. I did not accomplish that goal like I wanted too. I thought that since I was taking three literature classes this year that I would be able to reach that goal but the truth is I sparknoted a lot of the books I had to read for my classes!!! I did read 18 books and there is still two weeks until the end of the year I am hoping to be able to get a few more books in by then. Some of the things that I have accomplished this year are graduating from Institute back in April, and graduating from Dixie State College with my associates of Science this month!! So that is my review of this years.

P90X!

As you all know I love to workout! I can't start the day without a 2 hour workout(5-7am)! I felt like I leveled off with running and I wasn't getting any faster(I needed some endurance Training)! I have also been wanting to get lean, and saw an ad for P90x about a year ago! Well I have started the program, I love it. Now I have been working out for a long time, I usually work out 6-7 days a week for 2 hours! This program is kicking my butt! I have sore muscles in places I never thought I even had muscles I even almost throw-up half way through some of the DVDs! So we will see how it goes but supposedly I will get lean in 90 days!

My new year resolution: Get Lean and Run a Mile in 8 Minutes or Under!
