5 for Five

Link Up Here

Today I am linking up with Jenn and Jessica for 5 for Five. This is my first time to do this link up but I think I am going to really LOVE it. Read more about it here.

Here are my 5 goals for this week:

1. Stay on top of house chores.

~This is the hardest thing for me, I let things pile up until the weekend because during the week I am go go go!!! BUTTTTT then I never stop long enough to do them on the weekend either soooo before I know it I have weeks of laundry piled up, mail all over the bar in the kitchen, the bathroom needs to be cleaned, Jay's toys need to be picked up, oh and he needs a bath... *just kidding, I don't let him go weeks without a bath, just added emphasis!*

 

2. Study @ LEAST 30 mins a night for my ESL certification test.

~I have signed up to take the ESL (English as a second language) certification test to add to my teaching certificate.  This does not give me more money however, most districts in this lovely state of Texas require this to be part of your certification because we have so many kids that have English as their second language.  That being said this helps open the window of districts that I can apply to and taken seriously for being hired. *Side note, this goal is mentioned because I have already taken this test once and did not pass it... I need to PASS this time!

 

3. Cook 4-5 times this week.

~Recently we have been eating out a lot.  I did my Advocare 24 day Challenge and lost 14lbs. due to eating healthy and exercising.  After the 24 day I started slowly returning to my old ways... I need this to STOP INSTANTLY so that I don't gain those 14 lbs and more back!

 

4. Workout/run 4-5 times this week.

~This goal is because I need to be training myself to get faster at running and because I have a 2 week break between races.  I always start off really well and then I end up slacking so I am making it a goal to do it... "Suck it up, Cupcake!"

 

5. Think Postitive.

~I have a really hard time staying motivated and positive through the week.  I get tired, and grouchy, and just really blah the later in the week.  My hope is to be happy and positive all week because next week I don't have to work at all.  (Spring Break- Perks of being a teacher!)

 

So check back next week to see how I did on these 5

and to find my new goals!

Have a great week (staying positive see!!)
