I love seeing your goals each week. Even though you don’t always finish everything, seeing your plan and your accomplishments is always a huge motivator for me.
April says
Hi! May I ask what meals you made in your Freezer Meals in an Hour? I am really big on Freezer Meals, but find a lot of the time that I am missing just one ingredient and it throws me into a funk. 🙂 I also have been making the same things it feels like?
Crystal says
You can check my menus every week to see what I’m making for my Freezer Cooking in an Hour session:

Becky says
Crystal, reading your weekly goals always encourages me. You are such an inspiration to me. I like how you break down your projects into bite size goals.
Leah says
I love that you make it a point to write a love note to your husband. I am sure it helps to keep communication and love flowing between the two of you (and your kids notice that)! Blessings to you this week!

Marie says
I am starting to get back to the goals I made before my surgery really set me back. I am still in a boot until March 4th but feel like I can actually start getting up early again now that I’m more mobile. I can’t really start the exercise program my husband and I were going to do but instead I am going to focus on my water intake and making a menu for healthy eating.
I do feel like I am accomplishing my goals for reading. I just finished my 4th book, which is HUGE for me!!! But I am really finding segments of time to read, like sitting in car pool line.
thanks for all your encouragement!
Enjoy the snow. I live in MN. and am used to snow and very cold weather. I’d actually love one more dump this season! But then again all your readers who are talking about their gardens make me envious too! We can’t really even think about gardening until May around here.
Sandra says
Well wishes!
Shelly says
This past week I got a little side tracked when I was able to get 5 yards of compost delivered to add to our garden and since the weather was so nice I took advantage of getting it all placed over a couple of days.
This week I want to stay more on track with my goals. I have so many things I want to do each day I am finding it hard to stay focused. I know when I stick with a plan for each day I do so much better. I need to finish reading my book for the month of February, get back on track with my daily exercise and start planning out what we will be planting in our garden.
Hope you have a great week.
KayleneF says
I just started doing things to earn money as a stay-at-home mom and loved that you separated the goals to show personal, family and business goals. It motivated me to start on my own goals. Lets see how I did next week. Thanks
Victoria says
This week I am concentrating on finding where all my time goes. It has been a while since I have taken an evaluation of my time. I also start training for a 1/2 marathon in April this week. It was suppose to be a full, but my injury set me back to far to ramp up my miles fast enough to be ready by April. I start with 7 miles as this weeks long run and I honestly have not ran that far in one run since I was injured in September.
Tammy @ SkipperClan says
I have felt like I’m so far behind on my goals this month but I was hired for a full time job so we are just adjusting still…I have only worked from home for the last five years. The short term sacrifice will be worth the boost it’s giving us on the babysteps though, and I’m grateful I went from interview-to-hired in a few days.
Jamie Rohrbaugh says
Congrats on the new job, Tammy!
Trisha says
Congratulations on getting the manuscript out of your hands for a while. : ) Praying over that next stage with you.
Crystal says
Thank you so much for your prayers; they are much appreciated!
Sandra says
Will keep you in my prayers as well Crystal.
