The One About The Goals

Birthdays and New Years; the two times of the year that always make me really introspective. As I never seemed to be able to get my blog post where I evaluate my life published after my birthday,  I thought now would be a good time to write them down.

Goals always seem more motivating once they are there reminding you that they aren't checked off yet! I really dislike the term New Years Resolutions. It makes me feel like I have one shot to succeed and all other results are failure.  So I prefer to think of them as goals.

So how was the year? AH-mazing! 2012 definitely brought it!

A few highlights:

Health- I passed the 20 pounds lost mark this year! I bought new clothes in December that are 3 (allmoossttt 4) dress sizes smaller than the ones I bought last December!

Travel-  I flew to Vancouver for a quick trip and then later off to Panama!

Shop- Exceeded my hopes and goals for this year! I could not be more delighted! It brings me so much happiness!

Craft Fair! 

Finances- We continued working on paying off our loans/debt. Our one car called it quits so we added this beauty to the family!

Goals for this year:
Health- Continue eating healthier, working out more, and lose more weight! This time next year I plan to be really close to my goal weight!
- Less coffee. Earlier bedtime!

Finances- Keep paying off debt and saving for a house!

Blog- Post more!

That's not a very long list! I'll have to keep thinking! With as great as this past year was I don't know how 2013 could be better! But I'm looking forward to it! Whatever it may bring!

What's on your list for 2013?
