It’s about that time again.
What time am I referring to? New
Years resolution time. WEEEE how fun.
I personally don’t believe in resolutions. I believe that what I do at the end/beginning
of each year is a recommitment or a
renewal of my priorities. That’s not to
say I don’t set goals and challenges for myself. I do.
This year I’m going for consistency. Yes, I want to lose weight….and so bad want
to declare and avow that my 2014 goal is to lose weight and be at my goal
weight. I want that quite badly. Is this the year that I ride my century
ride….maybe, who knows! I would love to
PR in a 5k….or make my sub 30 goal. So
many goals and things to strive to achieve.
I would love to say that this year is the one that I’m going to run a
half marathon (I’ve kinda shelved that….I’m not sure that my body can handle
that at this time…but it is still on the to do list…..AKA my bucket list). I have those things in mind and 2014 may be
the year for them. However those items
are not making the list for this year.
As I said…this year I’m going for consistency! All of those items that I COULD include in my
goals are things that I can’t reach without consistency within my life. So this is the year of consistency!
So what are my goals for the year???
*Track my food every day…regardless of what I’m eating.
* Stay within my food budget 6 out of every 7 days.
* Exercise 5 times a week….at least 30 minutes each
time.
* Water Water
Water. I’m not aiming for perfect. 5 days a week 64 ounces of at least CLOSE
That’s it.
Seriously. That’s all I’m aiming
for. If I do that….everything else
SHOULD fall into place! The tracking of
the food is instrumental in keeping me cognizant of what I’m eating which will
definitely help the weight. Staying within
my food budget will bring the weight down!
Exercising will also help with the weight…but face it….if I’m running
and riding and being active I may be in the shape I need to be in to complete
some of those bucket list goals. It all
goes hand in hand! I just need
consistency on these seemingly simple things!
I’ve created a calendar so that I can keep track of my
progress. Consistency!
As for 2014 in my general life. I'm going to CHOOSE to be happy. I'm going to work on getting our emergency monetary fund built back up. Those are the biggies......I have some projects around the house that are on the 'goals to complete' in 2014 also...things like changing the steps from the deck to the patio....creating steps and a landing off the high end of the patio (landing important for latching the hot tub cover...quite important when it's dark and late at night I discovered)......so projects like that. 2014 is going to be MY YEAR!
