goal setting made simple

---

So far, everyone seems to like the new layout and features for the site. Thanks everybody for all the great feedback. I am really happy for I was stressing that everyone would not be digging the new things. That said, this is a great way to kick off 2010  Many thanks agian.

I finally got the new changes for the site posted today I hope everyone likes the new features. Please let me know your thoughts and, any suggestion on how I can improve the site are most welcome.

I updated the server today and will be testing it over the next few days. Everyone should notice faster performance now. Assuming no issues, I will then flip pay per click back back on after the holiday weekend. Sorry everybody this took so long. Thank you everyone for your patience.

This round was all kids chore charts: lots of new chart background themes, 4 new progress stickers (trying a new style) and a new print solution (printing multiple pages finally) for windows. Still having print issue with Safari which I turned over to a friend to help try and solve. I moved the changes live today and have been testing and no bugs encountered so far. Another full day of testing tomorrow... and I get to leave on vacation on Monday with the decks clear ...YES! Next up, new server solution to increase performance, new look for site and 2 brand new features for the site as well.

My daughter and I tested for our belt promotions this past week. And, we both will receive our new belts at the same ceremony (this will be the first time that has happened). It will be a nice moment to share with her.

Sorry for the delay on getting these phases released. Been having to deal with compatibility issues between Flash and Internet Explorer for Phase 5 and it has been eating up my time unexpectedly. Phases 3 & 4 are about wrapped up (these are minor upgrades). Phase 5 has been tougher for it is a major update ... the site will be getting 2 new features and a brand new look that will hopefully simplify goal management. Sorry again folks!

My little tiny tiger had her purple belt promotion on Friday and she passed! She broke her board (elbow strike) on her first attempt. I am really proud of her for she worked really hard on getting ready for this test.

My little gal has scored 100% on her school spelling tests the last three weeks!

---

I was digging through the cabinets in the bathroom (looking for T.P.) when I came across the foam alphabet letters my little gal used to play with in the the tub (learning ABC's). Now we are using them for spelling drills in the tub ... and she is really liking it ... more interactive than just doing flash cards. We are doing 13 words a week now: 10 regular words and 3 challenge words.

---

My little gal is now actually reading a little above her grade level. And, her confidence has really grown at sounding out new words. All in all, this was a really fun and rewarding goal. I am so proud at how hard she worked at this.

Tested last night .. it was tough, but I survived and should receive my promotion to Blue Belt. But the teat was a big reminder that I need to pick up my cardio so I can build up my stamina more .. and hopefully drop the the last 10 pounds off my belly and finally hit the my ideal weight.

Note to self: I need to start a jogging goal

Testing for my blue belt next Friday .. and I am stressing a bit about my level of conditioning. I am no where near where I would like to be on my stamina. YIKES.
