John is always telling me that I need to find a system that works for me to accomplish things that I have on my goals list. I feel this is always hard, because old habits and daily regimens are hard to break and start new! I have decided to come into this New Year with a few really strong resolutions and a whole new attitude about how to make them reality.
1.) Go to the gym at least twice a week.
- In the little planner that I keep in my purse I have my work schedule written in for the rest of the month. Whether I am off, or I close that night, I have gone through the whole month of January and written in "gym" on certain days. Most weeks, it is more than two days out of the week, but I feel that by planning it ahead and giving myself more options of when to go, I can up my gym goings to maybe even 3-4 times per week.
2.) Get serious about saving money.
- One of the ways we decided we were going to get serious about saving money is by eating dinner at home more often. With our crazy schedules it is always so hard to find time to go to the store and get stuff for dinners, but we have to find the time! I went through my little planner again and on nights that I am off, or I have an opening shift I have written "dinner". This is going to help me get in the habit of planning ahead with my shopping trips and not just shop for one night of dinner. I am going to get in the habit of planning out dinners for the week and shopping ahead!
3.) Explore with more new recipes!
- Since we have moved in together, I have found that I actually really love to cook! Thanks to my recent interest in Pinterest, I have found so many recipes that I can't wait to try out! Back to my handy little planner again, I have gone through and written "NR" for "New Recipe" on about 2-3 days out of the week. I have written them on days that I am off, so that I can have more time to really enjoy the process.
4.) Blog more!
- I have always loved to write, but lately I have found that I really love to blog! I have only written maybe 5 entries so far, but I have noticed that I find myself being more open to things in everyday life. I watch people more, I am more aware of what is going on around me, I feel I have a new attitude towards things because writing it out helps, and I am more open to new things so I can turn around and blog about it!
John told me the other night that in his eyes the worst thing a person can do in a relationship is stop bettering themselves. I am making a resolution to never stop bettering myself. For John, and for me.
