We're one month into the new year and I'm already
slacking on my resolutions. I feel like Mr. Mayhem from the AllState
commercials. I couldn't even last 2 weeks. But there is no fail only get back
up and try again. So let's take a look at my 2018 resolutions and how they
are going so far.
Weekly Resolutions
Blog 1x per week - Welp, since my last post was
my December recap and my New Years vacation post on January 5th I'm guessing
you can tell how this went. However here I am, post 2/52 and trying again.
I have some ideas for upcoming post so I'm going to attempt a Friday post
schedule (with maybe a few in between posts)
Vlog 1x per week - Basically see above. I was trying
to get all the videos I took around the holidays up but I am not a very
efficient video editor so it takes me way too long to try to record and edit
daily vlogs. Props to those that vlog daily, you have way more time and skills
than I do. I'm just going to attempt to vlog weekly again!
Clean out the fridge every Tuesday - While we haven't
intentionally done this, we have been much better about eating leftovers
so there hasn't been those mystery containers hanging out in the fridge. I've
also gotten better about just tossing food that we know we will not eat at a
later date which is a great help.
Monthly Resolutions
Lose 4 pounds per month - I did so well the
first 2 weeks of January. I logged my food daily in My Fitness Pal and worked
out 5 days a week. Monday of my 3rd week, I started to have some medical issues
that caused me to fall completely off the wagon. I was in terrible pain for
most of the 3rd week of January. I would come home from work and
immediately lay down in the bed. (If you have known me for a while, you
will know I hate to just lie around.) I didn't feel like getting up to cook so
we mostly ate out the whole week. It was an all-around terrible week. But
I'm back to cooking and working out now so even though I didn't lose 4
pounds in January, I plan to lose my 4 pounds for February.
Print photos from the Month for a photo album - I have not printed
out my January pictures yet, but
I want to. I also still need to find a photo album so
I'm going to work on that this weekend!
Yearly Resolutions
I have a few yearly goals however both of them are
financial goals. Finances, or more specifically money
amounts, are things I don't like to talk about on the
blog. But for my own purposes, I want to track my
progress so I will say…
Yearly Financial Goal #1 - I am 0.3% of the way
to my goal. Not where I should be but that's okay. I
didn't really try very much to accomplish this goal
during January.
Yearly Financial Goal #2 - I am 5.3% of the way
to this goal. This is a goal that I can save some tax
money to help with so I'm very excited to boost this
percent in the coming months!
How have you been doing with your New Year
Resolutions?
