We are five days into the new year, and I wanted to write out some of my goals (not resolutions- I hate resolutions) for the new year. A few of my friends have posted these on their blogs, and I would much rather see my list in my favorite Georgia font than scribbled out on the sheet of notebook paper currently wadded up in my purse.
Here goes. In 2013, my goals are as follows (and lets make 13 of them. Why not?):
1. Set (attainable) goals for the new year (check!)
2. Complete my Facebook workout challenges- 2 girlfriends I met while on the board of Girls on the Run (both mommas themselves) started a monthly workout challenge FB group recently. I just joined this week. They are "kick your butt" workouts, and my goal is to do them each week- no matter the time. I will make the time. They can be done in my home so no excuse about not having time to actually make it out to the gym.
3. Register for a 10K race in the Spring. I have never run a 10K. 5K,7 miler, 5 miler, half marathon, even a sprint triathlon have all been in my running repertoire, but never a 10K. I really, really wanted to run the Nashville Women's Half this year, but working + baby juggling has hampered the whole get up and run 10 miles on a Saturday morning bit. I'll get there- maybe in 2014. For this year, a 10K is where I will re-join the running world.
4. Train for said 10K. Thankful for our baby jogger- a wonderful Christmas gift!
5. Change my attitude- I will make the most of my time at home rather than wishing I had more of said time at home.
6. Go to bed no later than 10 pm each week night. Yes, I will do this. If dishes lie in the sink over night, so be it. I will be in bed by 10 pm to hopefully get at least 7 full hours of sleep each night (barring the occasional wake up from baby C).
7. Give myself a break. Ha! Perhaps the hardest one on here. I am not perfect.
8. Read (for fun!) at least 5 days per week. Let's be real, I should be doing this 7 days per week, but starting with at least 5, I know I can do it.
9. Read to baby C every single night. This is hard as he would rather chew books than be read to. But, I want to do this. I love reading aloud and snuggling with my little guy. In my next life, I will be a children's librarian.
10. Turn OFF the TV (or at least enter a room in my house while my husband watches it) at least one hour before bed (so, at 9 pm most nights). I want to use the final hour before bed for reading, meditating, writing, thinking, just being- unplugged.
11. Get OFF the computer, iPhone, iPad at least TWO hours before bedtime each night.
12. Create a monthly household cleaning schedule. One that is simple, easy to follow, and one that does not make me feel like all I do on the weekends is clean. I am looking to Pinterest for the inspiration.
13. Go meat-less at least one day per week. I have heard of others doing this. I want to start doing this- for my health, my family's health, and for our environment. Thank you, Peas and Thank You, for recipes that will make this more enjoyable.
14. BONUS goal: Continue to do THIS....
