How's it going with your New Year's resolution?? On my previous post I put what mine were on the previous post and this is going to be an update on how it is going.
So for the 1. I am working on eating healthier and cooking at home. The cooking at home this week worked out just ok. I had the best intentions but with still being a full time student and a super heavy work load this week it didn't go quite as according to plan. Baby steps thought right?
The working out part: So I have recruited my best friend to help me with this. We decided that we are going to get up at 6 am and go to the gym to work out about an hour ( I have to leave by 7) and do different workouts. So since we have an awesome fit that we can use since we are students what we do is we go and walk around the track for about 15 minutes and then either use the elliptical or the bikes. I also discovered a cool ab machine thing so I think I am going to try that out also :) We are wanting to do that on MWF and then on Tues Thurs use the pool and do some swimming laps and after use the sauna for about 10-15 minutes. (this one we couldn't do yet because they have had the pool closed. So by 8 am I am really needing the cup of joe :)
To keep trying to mix it up we are doing this water aerobics class on Tues, a belly dancing class on Wednesday (this one was so much fun but defiantly take friends with you) and on Saturdays when I am here I will do Yoga (which was super hard)
The main thing for me is I like routine but need to mix it up so we are going to try this for 21 days!! This is 21 days of working out (not including days that you skip) to see if we can form a habit. You can do anything for just 21 days right? I am already at day 4 and I am so excited that I don't want to quite now. You can do it if you are having trouble just say I am going to try this for 3 days.. after those 3 days say I am going to try for another 3 days. Then you will already be at day 6 easy right. I believe in you and good luck let me know how you are doing!!

New Year 2013
Well we are here again at another New Year with everyone ready to start their resolutions.. well probably by now people are already giving up on their resolutions again. So this year I didn't want to have resolutions or things that I was just going to fail and not be able to stick to it. So instead I am going to just call them goals.. they just make me feel better. So I have been taking these past couple of weeks trying to figure out how (and what) my goals are going to be. So what are my goals??
1. To be healthier.. not just skinnier not whatever the magazines are coming out with is the newest thing and what I should be looking like.. just healthier. I want to be able to get up have energy and feel good about myself. So this will be a long process but I have 11.5 months before the end of 2013 so plenty of time right? So how will I accomplish this... well that's a good questions so what I am going to try first is working towards doing a 5k as a goal again. SO I am going to follow the coach potato to 5K... which I actually found on Pintrest but you can Google it also and find it. Luckily I have recruited my best friend into helping me with this so hopefully (and knowing her) she will help me stay on track.
2. Being crafty: I love to craft and make things and some how never have the time to do it. Well that is going to change with 2013! I looking forward to celebrating all of the holidays (and even those holidays that really aren't holidays like Dr. Seuss Birthday because that is just fun) I am also planning on posting my fun projects here on the blog to share with everyone.
3. Spending Quality time with friends: So friends are important to me but sometimes with my crazy schedule I just don't make the time to spend time with them. So now I am working to do more with friends that are important to me. Since I want to also do a lot more scrapbooking and most of my friends are crafty also I have got a little group together to start scrapbooking (so I can get that done) AND spend time with friends. Perfect right making two of my goals come together into one.
So what are your goals? Are they fun things that you just want to try or serious Let me know and I will (try) and keep you updated on how it's going with my goals.
