1) Send out Christmas cards. Woop! This is one goal I can say I 100% accomplished, oh yea!
2) Workout 4x per week. Umm oops. If I got in 1 workout per week during the whole month of December than I was lucky. I was SO busy, and then by the time I get home from work I was seriously wiped out and all I wanted to do is lay around, but that has to change.
3) Not give in to the holiday binge-eating habit. Well, I will give myself a 50% on this one. I did pretty well most of the month (I even refrained from having birthday cake on Savanna's birthday) but then Christmas Eve through New Years I kinda let loose.
Okay, new year, new goals, new attitude. Just kidding, some of the same goals and I really haven't changed my attitude, but I am going to meet all three of my goals this month, I really am I swear!
January Goals
One. Workout at least 3x per week. This goes along with my weight loss journey (I will be posting an update this weekend, btw). You gotta workout to lose weight, so let's do this. I ordered a recumbent exercise bike off Amazon and I've already started using it woop woop.
Two. Come up with a weekly series for my blog. I already know what I want to do, I just need it iron out the details!
Three. Stick to a budget. My student loan payments have all been coming due and I owe SO MUCH MONEY (thanks law school). I literally can't look at it without getting sick to my stomach/teary-eyed, so Brian has all these spreadsheets made up for me. I have to cut down my spending; sticking to the budget will really make a difference. P.S. if you want to see pretty much how I feel about student loan payments, check out this funny but oh-so-true post of Elizabeth's.
What are your goals for this month? Linking up with Erica and Whitney. Have a great weekend!
I probably cry over my loans at least once a month, lol. All I can think is...I could be saving so much money! But then, I guess I wouldn't have a degree. Win-lose situation?
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your goals! You can do them all...I have faith in you! :)
I just made a budget for the next 2 years that will allow me to pay off everything except my two largest student loans (which I will have FOREVER). YOU CAN DO IT! It's hard, but it can be done. Good luck with your goals.
ReplyDeleteOmg that cartoon. I'm dying. I'm actually gonna have Kris make a spreadsheet for me too, haha. Also, I can't wait to see what your weekly series will be!
ReplyDeleteI think Christmas through New Years just doesn't count. It's time to EAT ALL THE THINGS. No shame! Good luck with your January goals!
ReplyDeleteLet me know how that bike works out for you! I need something I can work out with at home. I have Insanity, but I just can't get myself to do it. Maybe because every time I start I wanna fall over and die from the pain. Yep, that would be the reason why.

Yeah we're really trying to stick to a budget this year too- starting with no spend January!! Stupid student loans. They are just the worst things in the world.
ReplyDeleteIt's freezing cold here too, and the wind is like ice!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what your weekly post series is, if you want a button let me know it's always free for you! :)
these are great!! im excited to see your weekly series!
ReplyDeleteSticking to a budget is so hard. I need to start being more aware of what I spend, too!
ReplyDeleteI feel you on the budget thing, except I'm so broke I can't even set a budget haha
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the goals. My student loans always make me wanna cry.
ReplyDeleteLaw school debt makes me sad (even though it provides me with a paycheck...) I need some weight loss motivation so I hope you have some you can send to me!
