Hello 2018: My New Year’s Goals

Hello 2018! My New Year's Goals

Happy New Year!  I had trouble falling asleep last night because I kept thinking about the year ahead.  There are so many things that I am worried about that are beyond my control which frustrates me even more.  However, I still have some goals that I want to achieve in 2018.  New year, new goals!

Lose Weight

Yes, I know.  This is everyone’s goal for the new year.  I used to be such a gym rat and go to the gym almost every day and I loved it!  I loved how I felt leaving the gym.  This year, I need to recommit myself to making time to go the gym.

After seeing Rach Parcell’s BBG Journey on her blog, it motivated me to get serious about making a commitment to working out again.  She is also a working mom and felt the need to get rid of her “mom body”.  After having my youngest son, I wasn’t able to bounce back as quickly as I did with the twins.  In Rachel’s post, she mentioned how she felt, how she started slowly, and how she made a commitment to waking up early to do the workouts.  I’ve decided to do the same.  I am going to commit to work out 3 days a week and focus on cleaning up my eating habits.  My husband and I have been eating way too much pizza and we need to reign that back in.

I downloaded the BBG program and started it over the weekend.  I did the first two workouts of the first week of the program and I’m still sore!  I want to commit and hope to have similar results as Rachel!

Streamline My Wardrobe

My husband and I have a lot of clothes and shoes.  We converted a bedroom in our house into a walk in closet with custom shelving and drawers.  I take really good care of my clothes so I find myself saving clothes that I don’t wear any more just because they are in good condition and I spent a lot of money on them.  I need to let go of items that I no longer wear and sell or donate them.  It will make getting dressed each day a lot easier and help clean out my closet.

Increase My Savings

I have always been good at saving money.  I don’t buy a lot of expensive bags or shoes and instead save my money to invest in our home.  Next year, I want to move back to the town that I grew up in which is more expensive that where we currently live.  It’s a family friendly town with great schools, lots of restaurants, a better commute, and we would be a lot closer to my parents and friends.  However, the taxes and home prices are a lot higher than where we currently live.  We have been working on saving for a large down payment in order to keep our monthly mortgage payment similar to what we are currently paying.  It’s been a goal of ours for a while so we are continuing to save in order to achieve this goal next year.

What are your New Year’s Resolutions?  Did you make any?
