Happy New Year! No more resolutions; Just quit messing around!

 

I know I haven't updated in ages...I just kinda lost my blogging mojo! :(

I'm so far behind on Daring Cooks' that I think I'll just have to give it up for now...and maybe just follow along as the recipes are revealed (though I'd love to take part again in the future).  I haven't stopped cooking! In fact I've been cooking up a storm. And I do love blogging, I just need to get some other things in my life organized before I can tackle being a consistent blogger.

So since I never keep resolutions, instead I shall be making goals for the New Year (goals that I will be working on for my whole life ;) ) 

1 - Eat healthy. No, I'm never giving up bacon, but I'll try to live by the 80/20 rule. Just in general, I want to stop eating out so much, and start being kind to my body.

2 - Make fitness a priority. I want to do at least 10 minutes of fitness a day. Be it walking, running, biking, skating, yoga or strength training. 10 minutes is EASILY doable!

3 - Keep the apartment, my purse, my blog and my stuff organized! No more dumping piles of stuff everywhere. Also, keeping the apartment clean by cleaning a little bit of something everyday.

4 - Start blogging more. No specific goal here. I just want to try to remember to blog more often, even if its just about my progress of my goals. But recipes would be great :)

5 - Save more money. Stop buying my lunches, stop shopping at the mall and just be mindful about what I buy. I'll try to come up with a more specific goal for this.

 

So those are my goals. Pretty standard goals, but ones that I think will really help me. I've become very lethargic and I just want to feel better and have more energy!

So far for the 2 days I've been eating healthier, I can already feel a difference in my body. I'm starting to crave healthy foods, and I am enjoying my meals :) 

So good luck to those of you who also have goals or resolutions! And to everybody: Have a safe and happy New Year! :)
