January Goals

Hey yall!  Well instead of my typical weekending post I thought I'd catch up on my December goals and set my January ones!

December goals:

1. Continue decorating the apartment
Still a work in progress.  I ordered my gold polka dots for my living room and as soon as those are up I will post pictures!

2. Eat as clean as possible during the week
Ugh...epic fail.  Oh well I'm picking this back up today.

3. Work out at least 5 days out of the week
Another epic fail.  Damn you holidays!

4. Make 1 new recipe a week
Ok seriously.....another fail.  Although I am making a couple of recipes this week so I'm making up for this one.

5. Do something Christmasy in Dallas
I didn't get to do anything Christmasy before the holidays but New Years Day a friend and I drove around Highland Park and looked at Christmas lights.  

Ok so December goals were kind of a bust.  Onto January goals!

1. Work out at least 5 days a week
I'm determined that this summer will be the one I feel confident in a bikini so I started my morning off at Beyond 500 and am hoping to work that in 2-3 days a week with Pure Barre on the other days.

2. Eat as clean as possible 5 days a week
This is so hard since I am expected to eat lunch in my accounts and they have some of the best food.  However, I am determined to stick to salads and grilled chicken for the month of January.

3. Start reading again
I haven't picked up a book since I moved into my apartment and that has got to change.  

4. Set up my cash envelope budget
I would really like to start my cash system again because it really did hold me accountable.

5. Finish projects in my apartment
I have a to-do list of things that I need to do for the apartment that I could seriously knock out in a weekend.  I HAVE to make myself set aside the time to get it done!

Later this week I am going to share my list of things I want to accomplish in 2015.  It was no secret around these parts that 2014 was not an amazing year for me.  I had a very emotional breakup, made a huge life decision and moved back to Texas, moved into my new place, and started my a new job.  Needless to say I am more than ready to make 2015 MY year (as cliche as that sounds).  I know I am capable of so many great things but I have to keep myself motivated and not get discouraged by any setbacks minor or major.  I hope 2015 has started off amazing for yall and I can't wait to share my year with my fabulous blog friends!

  7. Don't be down on yourself for your December goals! It's a crazy time of year. Just pick up and keep on moving in January. I think your goals are realistic and it's great that you hold yourself accountable here. And that reminds me, I need to set a goal about reading books!
