Every year I always come up with a small list of things that I hope to eventually accomplish before the year is out. In fact, many people make a New Year's resolutions list and if they are anything like me, they never complete it. I am a huge list maker! I make lists for everything but I am terrible at actually finishing those lists. Its a huge bummer for me not being able to complete a whole list of mine. This year I am going to try my very best to actually accomplish everything on my list of resolutions. But since Yoda says, "Do or do not, there is no try," I guess I will not try but actually do everything on my list! I would now like to share with you my list of New Year's Resolutions.
1. Clean Eating. I know this one is a cliche resolution but this past year in particular I have gotten in the habit of eating like complete crap so its an important one to me! I also had a baby this year so I have some leftover baby weight on top of that. One thing I have learned is that no matter how hard I work out, if I don't change my diet I will never loose the weight! I also have my kids to think of as well. They watch everything I do and I need to be setting a good example for them. I want them to have a great foundation so that as they get older they will make healthy choices when it comes to food. My first challenge is "No Fast Food January!" I am pledging to cut out fast food for a whole month and hopefully that will really help pave way towards my clean eating path!
2. Style Risks. I have pretty much lived in maternity clothes for the past two years and as comfy as they were, I am ready to be done with them. It has been six months since my little girl was born and I have been slowing fitting back into my old clothes. Since then I have been following and studying many style bloggers hoping to ignite some inspiration. I love fashion and all that it stands for. I love how clothes and style can help really express who you are to the world! It's always new and never boring. This year I want to continue to fuel my fashion fire and experiment with different styles. I also want to become a better thrifter and find great deals on vintage clothing. My ultimate goal this year is to have a closet full of stuff that I actually want to wear all the time and to hopefully never say "I have nothing to wear" again!!
3. Schedule & Stick To It. Like I said before, I am huge on making lists but not so great on completing them all. I am also terrible about making schedules for myself and not sticking to them. I have come to the realization in this past year that I have a terrible sense of self-discipline. Something else that I need to work on this year, I suppose :) Ok, so with my son I was mega scheduled. He was always right on the dot with eating and sleeping. Since my daughter has been born its been a little more difficult to get back on some sort of schedule. Having a schedule that works for our family and actually sticking to it would be an amazing accomplishment for me!
4. Better Mother/Wife. Since becoming a wife and shortly afterwards a mother, I am constantly trying to improve in any ways that I can. I am definitely not one of those "must be perfect" type of people but I do enjoy being the best that I can be for myself and my family. I really want to be able to set a great example for my kids on how to live a healthy, Christian life. I also want them to see a good example of a healthy, happy marriage!
In August of this year, my husband and I are going to Peru for ten days! Traveling is something I really wanted to do this year so I guess I get to cross that off my list already. I know that I only have four goals on my list but I know they aren't going to be super easy to do. I know that I will have to work hard and consistently to accomplish them all. I guess I will just have to wait until December 31, 2014 to let you know if I was able to be victorious! But until then I wish all you out there good luck with whatever New Year's resolutions you have in mind!
Have a blessed day!
