2018 Goals
1. Continue our part vegetarian lifestyle through the year. It's better for the planet and better
for our bodies.
2. Continue to send paper cards to friends for their birthdays.
3. The usual lose weight goal. I turn 40 at the end of 2018 and I would like to be back below
200. At the beginning of the year I decided to join Weight Watchers since it helped me lose
weight before my wedding, so fingers crossed it helps again! I have signed up for 6 months
and so far it has been eye-opening.
4. Along with the weight goal, I would like to be more consistent with working out. In 2017 I
did great for half the year, but didn't really start really working out until I finished breastfeeding
and then got out of my routine as soon as I went to TX. I need to heal my heel before I can
get back to running/high impact stuff, but there is plenty of stuff that I can do in the meantime.
17 days into the new year and I have yet to work out so this needs to change asap.
5. Continue monthly dates with CP to make sure that our marriage stays strong.
6. Pay down our credit card debt from rehabbing the house within the first six months of the
year. Unfortunately due to a few unplanned things that happened with our rehab the project
cost more than was budgeted. We are unsure how we are going to fare during tax season
this year and CP's bonus will be a lot smaller this year at the new job, so we are going to
have to stick to tight budgets.
7. Continue to be politically active and contact my elected officials when necessary.
8. Create a better and more consistent bedtime routine. I do think that with getting up early to
work out, I need to make sure that I am in bed earlier as well. Some days it is great and I'm in
bed and asleep by 10pm, some days I am up until 10:30pm and then the next day I am tired.
It needs to be all about consistency.
9. Run in at least two races this year.

These are great, realistic goals. I added doing the birthday cards to my list too and updated Birthday alarm and stocked up my cards. Last year I started a sticker chart to track of my exercising. It's totally first grade, but I liked seeing the stickers filling up each month and then I did a data analysis to see what months I went the most and to look at the reasons why I didn't go (I would note Kate sick, Husband at work etc..) It made me realise that as things come up, I shouldn't ever pass on an opportunity when I can go (like I just don't feel like it)
I love these goals, very realistic, very doable. I wish you lots of success in reaching them! That bullet journal thingie has a habit tracker feature you can customize, and I'm finding it very eye-opening to see in front of me how often I go to the gym, how often we eat out, how often we eat meat (we're trying to reduce meat intake but we're beginners, ha), how often we drink alcohol, bedtimes, etc. Awareness is the first step, right? Like you, I'm good at getting up earlier but suck at getting to bed earlier, and I suffer for it...
I love your goal lists. I need to really be better about going to bed, too. And I think sending out actual paper cards is fabulous. Getting "fun" mail (and not bills or junk mail) always makes a person feel good!
I really like these goals! Kudos to you! I mail paper cards to all my nieces and nephews for their birthdays and it's one of my favorite things to do! <3
