So its a sick house here. I am just finally feeling almost normal after having my wisdom teeth pulled. It only took 2 weeks :| I can mostly eat normal now. I still have to be careful about food getting stuck in the holes, but I feel so much better. Just as I'm getting better, however, Wesley came down with strep throat! So he's miserable and I've been taking care of him (and consequently spending more money than usual buying him meals and paying for some medication for him since his money is far tighter than mine). But anyway, on to my goal update!
1. Finish Cleaning out the old room. I haven't been back since last I checked in about this.
2. Try 3 new recipes. No new recipes from last time either.
3. Read 12 Books. I've finished 3 books so far this month. 61 hours, Worth Dying For, and Carry On Jeeves. I'm also making progress in a fourth book.
4. Exercise 465 minutes. I should be at 330 minutes and I'm only at 165 :( Too many days of just 5 minutes of exercise during the wisdom teeth extraction healing. Hopefully I'll be able to make it up.
5. Finish my 21 days in a row streak of exercise. I met this goal and surpassed it! Made it to 26 days in a row before I slipped up and missed a day. But I've only missed one day of exercise all month!
6. Finalize my budget for 2011. So, my raise is not retroactive til December 18th :( My degree conferred date is January 8th, so I don't get any back pay. I still won't know what a usual check looks like til February so I can't finalize the budget til then, but I have a budget based on what I think I'll be making and its flexible in that I'm scheduled to be putting a bunch of extra money towards debt so thats the only number that will change if I am making less or more than expected.
See you guys on Monday hopefully!!

Friday Goal Check-Up
I got my wisdom teeth pulled this morning. All four were long overdue for being pulled. I'm not feeling fabulous but the painkillers definitely help. This post may be a little odd, since I still feel a tiny bit foggy, but I'm trying anyway. :)
1. Finish Cleaning out the old room. I've made progress so far. I took a few boxes of stuff to goodwill, I have a few bags in my car right now to sort through, and I plan to do some more work on it next weekend hopefully. I've also taken some stuff from the apartment to goodwill, which I was very excited about. An old TV we don't use left us as well as a nightstand and small shelving unit I didn't like.
2. Try 3 new recipes. We made a delicious chicken and potato dish that was so incredibly easy we will probably try it again. It was a little heavy on the Rosemary for my tastes, so we'll probably switch up the spices a bit when we try again.
3. Read 12 Books. I finished one book, and I'm hoping to finish another book or two this weekend since I'm basically couch-bound for a while.
4. Exercise 465 minutes. I should be at 105 minutes at this point, but I'm only at 85. Not too far behind but I don't think I'll do much more than 5 minutes a day this weekend. I should be able to get back on track by keeping up doing the 30 day shred when I feel better.
5. Finish my 21 days in a row streak of exercise. 18 days in a row! I'll meet this goal on Monday!!
6. Finalize my budget for 2011. I found out what my raise is and made a loose budget based on what I think my check will be, but I still have to wait to actually see a check to finalize this. This might be pushed off to February because my first check with my raise will be larger than normal because it will be retroactive to December 18th when I completed the degree. We shall see. I've made progress and that's what counts.

January Goals
So my intent for the day was to give you guys a review on my December goals, but as I'll be trekking out to my parents house to work on cleaning out the old room today and tomorrow, I figured theres a good chance I'll make more progress so I should wait on the goal review to see if I do. Instead, I bring you January goals!
1. Finish Cleaning out the old room. I have time scheduled in each day this long weekend to work on this, so I'm hoping it will get done ASAP, but it may still get drawn out throughout the month. It's been 4 months now since I moved out though, so I think its time I completely move out! Except of course for a box or two of storage stuff. :)
2. Try 3 new recipes. One of my year goals was to try 25 recipes so I thought I should start out the year strong! Plus I'm excited to try stuff in the Jamie's Food Revolution which I got for Christmas.
3. Read 12 Books. 1/12 of my yearly goal, lets see if I can do it!
4. Exercise 465 minutes. That's 15 minutes a day on average, and I beat my 10 minutes a day goal last month so I think I can do it!
5. Finish my 21 days in a row streak of exercise. I'm starting off with 11 days in a row (given that I work out tomorrow) and just need to keep it up til the 10th!
6. Finalize my budget for 2011. I have a monthly budget, not a yearly one, but it stays mostly the same month to month. I want to get this figured out once I have final numbers on what I'll be getting each paycheck.
I'm optimistic about these goals and hopefully goals 2,4, and 5 will help me to win some prize money in the biggest loser in March when it finishes!
