2 February Goals

I mentioned in my New Years post that I was going to try to keep up with my many goals for the year by making check lists every month. I feel like this is a better way to keep up with everything I want to do. It seems a bit more organized as well as opposed to listing off a ton of resolutions on January 1st that I will have been sure to broken by the 5th. So here we are February 1st. A new month and the start of my New Years check list

Health and Weight Loss (in 3's)

*Run 3 miles - slowly working my way back up to 5, and hopefully even more!

*Work out 3 days a week 

-week 1

-week 2

-week 3

-week 4

*Loose 3 lbs - My weight can shift up and down by 5 lbs in a day but thats just water weight. Id like to loose 3 lbs and actually keep it off. I know it doesnt seem like a lot in a month but baby steeps people. Id rather surpass my goals then not meet them at all!

*Do a 3 days juice cleanse

Family 

* Do at least 2 new and fun family activities

* Go on a real life date night (what is that even?)

* Have a special mommy daughter bonding day

Friends

*Have lunch with a friend that I haven't spent much time with lately 

* call A friend that lives too far for lunch

Blog

* Try to blog at least 3 times a week - I know it seems small but this momma be busy

* Give it a makeover 

Crafting

* Try 3 new DIYs (3 just seems like a good number for this month not too big not too small)

Explore

*Go on an adventure - Discover a place Iv never been before. There are so many I know this one won't be too hard!

Wedding

* Book the Photographer (almost done i'll share soon!)

* Work on the invitations 

* Do one DIY

*********************************************************

February is mighty short. I may be biting off more than I can chew but I'm going to do my best to check everything off this list in the next 28/(9?) (is this a leap year?) days. I'll be referring back to this list every time I accomplish a goal and marking it off so be sure to check in and follow along with me! Also if you feel inspired to make a monthly check list let me know so I can check it out and follow along your goals with you! 

3 Lookin' Good Twenty Twelve

I realize that it's already the 12th day of the year but the way my life is going this is pretty good for me. I don't normally make resolutions. And when I do I typically fail. But this year I have a lot to look forward to, and a lot to check off my to do list. In order to make sure that I make progress I need to make myself a list of goals or resolutions if you will.

Get fit:
       ~ Eat better
       ~ Run, run, run - I was up to 5 miles beginning of december but I took a hiatus to eat my weight in cookies, mashed potatoes, and other such holiday treats.
       ~ lose 10 lbs (roughly) before W-Day
       ~ Go on more hikes with the babe  and other out doorsy things

Plan a wedding - As many of you may already know 2012 is the year of my wedding. I don't know, it's kinda a big deal. So far I have a dress, a date, and a venue. That's it. I officially have 8 months and 3 days. People plan a wedding in way less time than that but for me that's not a lot of time. Especially because this past year has gone by so fast for me so i can only imagine how fast this one will go. Good golly this is a mighty ambitious task.

Make more time for crafting

BLOG - Iv been having trouble balancing my life, job, kid, and blog. This little spot means a lot to me. I have family and friends who look forward to reading it and I havent been keeping up with my end of the deal. Sorry peeps, Im going to work on it.

Spend more time with my family - I want to do more things together. Mikey P and I. Take Peyton all over the place. Do out of the ordinary stuff with her. We live so close to so many great things and we never venture far from our comfort zone. That needs to change.

Spend more time with the people I love - I need to spend more couple time with Mikey. Actually go on dates. I need to spend more time with my friends. Weather it be in real life or over the phone I need to keep in touch better with my closest friends. Its hard when you have totally different schedules and lives but with this new fangled thing called interwebz I have no excuses.

I think the best way for me to make sure I keep up with my goals/resolutions/whatever is to make monthly check lists for each category. Im taking January to get my life in order but come February I'm taking my life on full force. I hope to be able to share it with you every step of the way and I hope that you will be here to share it with me.
2012 I have some pretty high expectations for you, don't let me down!
