Insane Goals- April Review

,

It’s time to review my goals that I made for April. April has been a better month as compared to March for me.

Major Fail area

 

  1. I STILL yet to draw up a teaching plan for the teaching of Japanese to the kids. I’ve yet to do up the flashcards which I have planed to do since January !!
  2. There are still many areas in the house which are yet to be de-cluttered and the holidays are just around the corner. Ugh!!
  3. I didn’t get around to completing the books which I have to read for the month and they have to be pushed over to May to be completed.
  4. Did not do as much exercise as I should have.  I should be exercising daily but haven’t been doing so.

What I accomplished in April

  1. I hosted my first  2K fan appreciation giveaway. I started off at 2100 fans and now have more then 3100 fan on my Facebook  Fan Page .
  2. Baked my own bread in class and had fun attending a couple cooking class with R.
  3. Went for my first food tasting at a local fine dining restaurant. It was a great experience and will be blogging about it in the week to come.
  4. Complete the photobook for Tiger Girl. However I do have another voucher which is expiring on the 10th of May which I do need to use it up before it expires.
  5. Got to know many new bloggers and build up my network.
  6. Have managed to lose 1.5kg and now am 5 kg away from target weight.

 

Here is are my goals for 2012

I’m determined to get my weight down to 55kg by the time Tiger girl turns 2 in Sept. ( It’s currently down to 62/63kg)

My routine would be

  • Stair climbing (x2) 5 times a week
    Zumba WII/IWII Active or other interactive sports games.
  • Increase intake of fruits and water.
  • Cook more healthy foods
  • Try to get more sleep at night if possible ( hopefully Tiger Girl can sleep through the night soon)
