January

What a crazy month it was! Where did it go??

I thought I would follow up on my little goals for each month that I had set. Just to warn you, it didn't go extremely well haha!

Save $10 each month - This I did do. There is money in our savings account,  but we did use the credit cards during January, so I'm not sure it really counts...

Read one book each month - I did do this! I finished a book at the beginning of the month and then read two more. I have also started my February book and am really enjoying it! I will post on it when I am done... sometime by the end of the month ;)

Read 10 verses each day - I was doing pretty well at a chapter a day, but then I started to wane. I need to get back on it. It's been a good two weeks since I've read, I think :/

Work out 3 times each week - I've done at least two times each week with my mother-in-law and usually one on my own on the weekends. 5 am is early! I do take the stairs at work when I go down to the cafeteria for lunch. Does that count??

Drink {more} water - I have been much better about drinking water! I feel like I drink it constantly at work and have been drinking more at home. This week I had some sprite and cranberry juice (with raspberries...healthier??) at a couple of parties we had at our house, but I believe that's the first time I've had soda this year. If you know me and my soda habit, that's a feat! 

Eat healthier - Ah, the clean eating.... We were doing so well the first two-ish weeks. I've kind of fallen off the wagon with it. The main goal was 1 serving of veggies a day. For the most part, I've gotten those in. There were maybe a few days in the last few weeks that I didn't get any vegetables. Clean eating is hard. For me, at least. The moment came at "that time of the month" (sorry, tmi) when I inhaled almost two big macs. Yeah. Defeated by a secret sauce. I've been somewhere in the middle since then. Still shooting for healthier things, but the intensity died :( Beside the big mac fiasco, we haven't done fast food much at all. A mcmuffin yesterday morning. And it was delicious. That's all. So.... it's getting better. 

Meditate - I always forget about this one. No, I'm not great at personal prayer. I should be by now. We do really well with nighttime family prayers, and I'm trying to get us into the habit of morning family prayer since we've all been up together the last few days, but it's the habit-making that's the hard part. It's hit and miss with this one still. 

Well, there you have it. Not as great as I had hoped. I will just try a little harder. That's about all I can do, I suppose.
