Weekly Goals & Meal Plan – Solo Parenting Wrecked My Goals

Posted on by Sarah Marshall

Last week was not a good week for accomplishing my goals. I honestly couldn’t tell you why. The whole week was just a blur. We had a snow/ice/cold day on Thursday and Keith left for the SEC Women’s Tournament Thursday afternoon and didn’t get back until late last night. It was not my finest performance as a solo parent. I was lucky to get us all fed most of the time.

Oh well…no use dwelling on the past. Let’s see what’s up for this coming week.

Last Week’s Goals

Wife/Mom

~Lunch notes for Brooke every day
~At-home date night with Keith

Me

~Track everything in LoseIt every day I may have missed a meal or two but I consider that success
~Check into the Naturally Thrifty Mommy Facebook Challenge 5 of 7 days – I decided early into the week that I’m not ready for this challenge…maybe April!
~Prep lunches night before
~Bible plan reading complete 5 of 7 days – I’ve been doing horrible with this :o(

Home

~Bedroom cleaned up…primarily the laundry monster next to my side of the bed

I didn’t get any of these done – oh my gosh!

Weekly Goals & Meal Plan – Welcome March!

Posted on by Sarah Marshall

March is here!! 2015 is flying by already! Whew!!

I really liked having my weekly goals written here and out in the world, so to speak. It definitely kept them fresh in my mind as the week went along and knowing I was going to be reporting back held me accountable.

So how did I do? I am bummed to say the crazy winter weather here in East Tennessee and Leah’s tummy bug threw everything off kilter for me. It feels like an excuse but it really complicated things. You’ll see that a good number of last week’s goals will be rolling over into this week.

Weekly Goals ~ Results!

Wife/Mom

~Lunch notes for Brooke every day The two days she actually went to school :o)
~Wednesday night at-home date night with Keith We actually had date night Friday night but close enough!

Me

~Prep lunches night before
~Bible plan reading complete 5 of 7 days

Home

~Bedroom cleaned up…primarily the laundry monster next to my side of the bed
