6 months in.. how are my goals doing?

So we have pasted the first half of the year 2013.  Holy Cow.. where did the year go??
Summer is in full swing here and I am loving every minute of it..  but I thought I would take a couple of minutes and check up on my 13 goals for 2013 and see how they are doing.

1.       Pay off the final credit card (The Canadian one) and have the line of credit under $5,000.00. On track.  If all goes well we will have the credit card  paid off in full by October. 
However I might not have the Line of Credit under that mark by the end of  the year due to the fact we just purchased a cruise holiday for July 2014 (more  on that later), but we still have our plan to get that all paid off by the end  of next year.
 
2. Pay off the lawyer loan from work – Done.. paid off the last of the payments at the end of May
 
3. Have $1,000.00 saved in our emergency/Australia fund – on track..  I couldn’t start until the lawyer loan was paid off but have started now and on track.
 
4. Get the stuff we want for the apartment, mainly new storage units and shelves for the bedroom and living space. Started.. got something going but not anything from our original list, but its still something.
 
5. Loose 50 pounds – um.. started..  sortoff.. I lost 4 pounds over June so I will need to ramp things up if I want  to do this by the end of the year.

6. Look into best options for a new car (either leasing or loan) and if possible get a new car (this will depend on whether we can afford it and/or we find the car that would best suit us) – We have decided to hold off into getting a new car as the options for leasing or  loan weren’t that great considering our plans for the next couple of years. Will look into it again next year

7. Get an emergency kit together for the  house. Created the list.. now just got to get the stuff.

8. Contribute money to RSP's (at least $1000.00 to start).  Another one I couldn’t start until after the lawyer loan was paid off but its started and things are on track.
 
9. Continue to grow this blog.   Some weeks I am good, some I am bad
 
10. Attend the BF's family reunion.  This is happening at the end of the month.

11. Attend another sunny destination (either Mexico or back to Cuba).  This has  been moved to next year as we decided to go back to my home to see family.

12. attend a dance class/course (either jazz or  belly dance).  Still looking into deals for classes on this

13. Stress less..  Doing pretty well at this.  I have had people tell me I seem more happier and less stressed out.  My theory now is not to worry to much as worrying doesn’t help the situation and turns your hair gray..  haha
