goals, updates

Completed bold green with strikethrough, in progress in bold with italic, notes, summary and updates inline.  Not started in blue.

  • Fitness – Hit my Fitbit goals for the month.  Still on track for weight loss, not so great on the daily goals but it’s been cold as the Grinch’s heart around here.  I did add some FitBit friends to provide competition. 🙂
  • Professional – Complete the ITIL 2011 Intermediate SOA qualification.  Completed through Module 5 of 12.On Track!
  • Habit – Fitness and Food Journaling.    I’m declaring this one complete as the habit has definitely formed – almost to the point of obsession.
  • Home – Guest bedroom.  Nothing this week.
  • Financial – 401K and retirement accounts.  Waiting on the new account information.
  • Decluttering
  • Cost cutting – Insurance review

Two down – probably going to have to move a couple over into February, but still happy with the progress.

  • Fitness – Hit my Fitbit goals for the month.  Purchased FitBit Premium and configured the trainer.  Not hitting the band goals but hitting the trainer goals, so I’m good with that.  Down another 2 pounds and currently 2 pounds off my goal for January. 🙂
  • Professional – Complete the ITIL 2011 Intermediate SOA qualification.  Completed through Module 4 of 12.On Track!
  • Habit – Fitness and Food Journaling.    Still doing pretty well on this and it’s becoming a habit to log food right after eating.  Particularly like the dashboard widgets in FitBit that let you watch your calories vs. activities.
  • Home – Guest bedroom.  Nothing this week.
  • Financial – 401K and retirement accounts.  Got news that my new 401K was being moved to another firm.  Looks like I’ll be updating the updates sometime next week, LOL!
  • Decluttering
  • Cost cutting – Insurance review

Moving on along – particularly pleased with the fitness goals for this month.  Developing a lot of awareness of what I eat and how much I move around vs. sitting.

  • Fitness – Hit my Fitbit goals for the month.  Meh.  Running behind here courtesy of “the polar vortex” followed by “build an ark”.  Going to need to add some extra steps in the next couple of weeks.  Have lost 5 pounds since the holidays, though.
  • Professional – Complete the ITIL 2011 Intermediate SOA qualification.  Completed through Module 3 of 12.On Track!
  • Habit – Fitness and Food Journaling.    Doing this pretty regularly, love the FitBit.  Discovered I was getting up every few hours and walking 52 steps.  No, not sleepwalking – letting the dogs out.  Started feeding them in the mornings, sleeping MUCH better now.
  • Home – Guest bedroom.  Hopefully this coming weekend.
  • Financial – 401K and retirement accounts.  Let this one ride for the week though I did download the 2013 tax forms and instructions.
  • Decluttering
  • Cost cutting – Insurance review

One complete, five underway with the last one requiring a single session (that I just haven’t managed to get motivated to do since it involves sitting and I’m trying to focus on moving).

Completed bold green with strikethrough, in progress in bold with italic, notes, summary and updates inline.  Not started in blue.

  • Fitness – Hit my Fitbit goals for the month.  Starting out with the preset 10K steps per day.  Laid out a walking/running schedule to be ready to go for the March 5K.  Naturally this week brought some of the coldest (and wettest) weather so far – will be looking to make up some steps as the month progresses.  Still, definitely heightened awareness of ways to boost steps.  Cool dat. 😀
  • Professional – Complete the ITIL 2011 Intermediate SOA qualification.  Ordered up the SOA course from The Art of Service, did all my downloads and set up a daily task reminder.  Completed through Module 2 of 12.On Track!
  • Habit – Fitness and Food Journaling.  Set up my apps – Endomondo, FitBit and Livescape on the phone, FitBit on the PC.  Completed some journaling every day but not consistent or complete yet.
  • Home – Guest bedroom
  • Financial – 401K and retirement accounts.  Registered and set up the 401K for new employer.  All that remains is to review and update (as needed) the other accounts.
  • Decluttering – Filed the rest of 2013 and set up 2013 tax notebook, set up 2014 files (go label maker).
  • Cost cutting – Insurance review

One complete and four underway.  Seems about right at this point, especially since the four underway are the build a habit kind of goals.
