I’ve got some serious goals for 2017! Exciting stuff, my friends.
There’s something about starting a new year that makes you feel like you get a whole new lease on life. A fresh start, a chance to forget about the past year and tackle new goals.
2016 was pretty good to me…great actually. I learned so much about myself. Cliché some may say, but I definitely made some pretty great personal strides in 2016 & I’m extremely thankful for that.
To reach my crazy, big, 2017 goal requires a budget. I’m honestly one of the worst people with finances, so I’ve made it a resolution to start a budget this year. I’ve found a lot of great articles online to help me get started. I’m one to just swipe away without checking my account, so I hope to be more aware and “money conscious”. Also, after reviewing my bank account, I have so many things that fall under unnecessary spending–i.e.: Sun Tan City (I never go tanning anymore), 2 Gym memberships (I only use one), too much Starbucks, etc. This girl has got to get it together in the budget category!
As always, fitness and nutrition are included in my goals…that’s a given. I started last Spring taking my fitness journey to the next level, and this year I hope to continue. I want to solidify it as a lifestyle and not just when it’s convenient for me. I also want to be a positive influence to others with their health. I hope to be a good example and inspire others in their fitness journeys.
On a personal note, I hope to be more approachable and have more of a “go with the flow” type of attitude. I’m definitely type A when it comes to personality, and I like to have things in order and planned out at all times. However, this can prevent me from enjoying the little things in life. I need to be better about living in the moment and appreciating the great things in life that are so easily taken for granted.
Today, I’m organizing for the week ahead. I’m starting up a little group fitness class after work with some of my co-workers that will follow the Core de Force meal plan and workouts…super excited for this. Also, as always, I’m prepping my meals for the week ahead.
Right now, I’m enjoying some coffee with some “clean” creamer while I organize.
Cheers to 2017!
Peace & Progress
