I know I’m a little late with the goals this month, I just have had so much to talk about here on the blog! I hope you all are having a great start to 2017. I bought my new planner, and have been busying myself with filling in important dates, birthdays, and events. (Yes I know I am a total nerd, I’m ok with it!)
Several of you asked about my planner when I posted it on my Instagram story, and I love it. I got it from Amazon.
You can find the exact one I got here: me & my BIG ideas Create 365 The Happy Planner, Hello Life, 18 Month Planner, July 2016 – December 2017
Goals. Goals goals. Ok, so you may have seen my post last week talking about creating goals in general. I hope it gave you something to think about, and maybe now you have created some goals for 2017 for yourself with some action steps. (If you missed the post you can check it out here.) Let’s take a look back at my December goals then move into my January ones, shall we?
December goals:
1.) Get unpacked: B+ While 99% of the boxes are unpacked, everything is not “put away” in it’s proper place. I need to get to organizing now that we have unboxed all the things.
2.) Be intentional and present this Christmas season: B- Eh. I really tried, but moving in to a new house, in a new state, right smack in the middle of the Christmas season makes it tough. We watched lots of Christmas movies, went to EK’s preschool program, Christmas eve church service, and had family come into town. However, it all just felt a little…rushed. I want to so badly do better next year.
3.) Get into a workout routine: B- Again with the yes/no. I DID join Orange Theory fitness in December (blog post coming next week!) but that is only for two days a week. I also recently got pieces for a home gym (that post coming soon as well!) but now it’s more of finding time since Emma Kate is only in school three days a week. I need to workout more than those three days, so I have to figure something out to make it better. Right now I am thinking OTF twice a week, home gym twice a week, and a long run to make five workouts. Now to just get the timing right so I can actually do this…

January goals:
1.) Organize my closet: We have an extra bedroom off of our master that I have dreams of making a “dressing room” for me. Since it’s not currently in the budget, Bobby and I are sharing the smaller master closet. We are trying to come up with a temporary solution, and I need to figure it out sooner rather than later, because I am just wearing the same 4 outfits over and over because it’s easiest. Ha.
2.) Fix my workout routine: I am determined to get this figured out and have a solid couple of weeks with it “working” for me. Once I do it I will be able to stick with it, so I just need to figure out what times and days work best for what workouts.
3.) Eat better: I know I’m being vague, but it’s because I’m not sure what I want this to look like just yet. Maybe only eating one treat a day? Only drinking water? Less snacking at night? Still trying to figure out the specifics. I pretty much ate whatever I wanted between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and my clothes are fitting a little tighter. Better eating coupled with a better workout routine should get me back on track, I just need to get the rest of the Christmas candy OUT of my house, and meal plan better. Sometimes convenience wins in our house and it’s not the healthiest choice. Better planning is key.
That’s it for this month! I will check back in at the beginning of February to let you know how I did.

Your planner is adorable. I’m with you on organizing (we’re renovating right now and stuff is EVERYWHERE…it’s driving me nuts) and getting into a workout routine. I haven’t worked out consistently in almost two years (pregnant all of 2015, figuring how baby/work/life balance in 2016), and definitely need to to get back to it. I just can’t figure out if I want to run, do yoga, workout apps, etc. I only really want to commit to one right now!
Maybe switch it up? Run for a Month, yoga for a month?
I hope you are able to make your dressing room. I love mine and it’s the favorite space in my house! (ie: it’s the only room I have all to myself..lol).
One day it will happen!
I used to be a hardcore paper planner user. Then sometime after I began using Google Calendar I stopped using paper. I bought a paper planner again last year and used it like twice. Sigh. I want paper to work but it just hasn’t lately.
Do you have Baby Boot Camp classes where you live? That’s how I work out with my daughter. They are a franchise so you can check their website and maybe they have a location near you.
I’m not sure about baby boot camp I will have to look!
My main goal for January is to get back on my healthy eating band wagon. I’ve been overindulging in way too many sweets lately due to stress eating. I really want to channel my stress eating into stress working out.
Sounds like a good plan!
