Day 1 - Go shine your sink

You heard me correctly.  Go shine your sink!  And that is what I did.  Here is the link (http://flylady.net/pages/begin_babysteps.asp) that shows you 31 beginner babysteps and it all starts with shining your sink.  So here is my sink!

Before

After

Big difference, eh?  And I will shine my sink (aka a windex shine) every night before I do my bedtime routine.

Yeah yeah yeah I know you think I'm some crazy lady now but just wait.  I won't be living in CHAOS anymore and I'm really excited for that!

31 days.

In 31 days I will (emphasis on will) be a more organized and sane person!  Hahaha!  All joking aside though I will.  I am doing 31 babysteps to a more organized less chaotic life.  And the best part is I started today.  I will have another posting with what day 1 is like.  I'm so excited!  I will post pictures with each that that will allow one.  Once again I'm wanting to provide inspiration for anyone (including me)!

So I promised this yesterday but

I fell asleep.  I mean I do have a 2 month old and I was tired so that is my excuse.  Anyways I was going to lay it all out so here we go.

Goals for 2011

• Workout everday 3 times a week!  I have had three kids now and things have changed.  My weight hasn't really been an issue (except when I was stressing about my husband while on deployment.  That is when I got my heaviest at 170!) But things have changed.  I'm currently 154 pounds, 5'7", and wear a size 10/12.  I now have hips and bigger and saggier boobs (thank you gravity)!  I'm not going to workout to lose weight as I don't care if I stay at 154 pounds or not.  I'm in it for tightening up my mid-section.  That is the only place I care about.  I guess I've been blessed with killer legs and nice arms and a butt that doesn't want to sag so this is the only place I want to work on.  Plus the benefits of a tight mid-section are better posture which inturn leads to a healthier back!  These are all things I need chasing 3 boys around.  Plus the endorphin release wouldn't be so bad.  
• Payoff the credit card.  If I can only do one thing this year this would be it.  And we are going to do it the Dave Ramsey way.
• Graduate college in July.  This is inevitable but none the less still a goal.  I would have been done a long time ago if I didn't switch my major 3 times!
• To stop living in CHAOS! This stands for Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome.  Now my house is fairly clean everyday but I want more. So thanks to FlyLady (www.flylady.net) I am working on my control journal.  I highly suggest you do it as well because if you are a SAHM you know how hard life can be.  And if I can get this control journal in order as well it will help tremendously especially if we decide to homeschool! 
• Attend church every Sunday regardless if my hubby is there.  This will be my biggest struggle as now Steve will have two drill weekends a month.  I'm going to need to rely on people who want to help me while there.  Good thing I'm motivated, right?
• Stay on my hubby's behind to get his classes done so he can get accepted into a commissioning program.  

So far these are my goals and I know there will be slip ups.  I want to do this to provide inspiration to anyone who needs it. Plus I now have something to be accountable to!  Cheers!
