New Year Resolutions


Talking about my New Year resolutions might actually make me stick with them this year. As we all know, we usually keep them for a few weeks, but then they become forgotten.

So here it goes. Here are my goals and resolutions for 2015.

1. Be more conscious of what I eat. I do not want to use the word diet, because that never lasts. I just want to eat to feel better and look better. The past few months I have really let myself get out of control with food and eating way too much "bad" foods. I just want to eat things that are delicious and healthy and give me the energy I need to perform at my best.

2. Exercise more. I ordered the Fitbit through my work and I really want to challenge myself to walk at least 10,000 steps a day. I also want to continue with Zumba class and train for a 5k. I have never been much of a runner and I always make some excuse as to why I can't run, so i just want to do it. I don't care if it takes me 12 months to accomplish, I need to push myself outside my comfort zone. I want to be fit and strong so I can be around as long as possible for Jack.

3. Save Money. I am usually really good at saving, but I want to really cut back on things I don't need, such as $4 Starbucks coffee EVERY day. Maybe just treat myself once a week. Also cutting back on buying things I do not need, like more clothes. I want to start selling some of my old items and clothes on Ebay and putting that money away in savings. Also I need to start couponing and shopping sales more instead of full price items.

4. Clean my Apartment more. I get so lazy sometimes, that the chores really pile up. I need to start organizing more at home and putting things away immediately, instead of throwing my clothes in a pile when I get home. I will have to get my husband on board with this one!!

5. Spend more time playing with my son! This is the most important resolution! I want to spend as much time as I possibly can with Jack and enjoying everyone of his milestones.
