The New Year is Approaching!

[AmberFL 817]

As Christmas and the New Year are approaching, I wanted to see what your goals for the new year are, mine are to drink more Water and less negative self talk. I have been doing some work on my mental game. Body dysmorphia is and negative self talk is a B!

Do less exercise (i exercise too much and my body is starting to object...feel like i am hurting in some body part or other like 24/7 these days).

Buy less clothes.

Eat more often.

Read more books.

Floss my teeth regularly.

Do what i say i'm going to do.

I completely understand the exercise, my back and knees are super achy like I have been over working them out. So that is actually a good one too!

My guy and I have a big goal for this coming year. It’s going to take a lot of dedication and willingness to get outside in the Pacific Northwest rain. We want to ride a century ride on our bikes this coming summer, that’s a 100 mile ride. No way I will be able to do it unless I train religiously rain or shine.

Kindle unlimited is great if you don’t have it already and don’t mind electronic books. It auto renews so I put it in my calendar as a recurring monthly reminder for a while to make sure I didn’t forget to cancel it if I wasn’t using it (I am the worst with them subscriptions things). I get my moneys worth for sure, though. You also don’t have to buy a special device. You can just download the app on your phone or tablet. I also learned about an app that the library has that you can check out audio books on for free. I thought that was pretty cool too.

That’s an awesome goal. I am rooting for you. Can you train some days on a stationary bike if it’s like lightning at least.

My goal is just to stick with my fitness and nutrition as much as I am able in the midst of my other medical stuff. I actually just left my doctors office today because I didn’t like the plan the nurse had for me that took me off my bariatric diet and I was gaining weight. We came up with a new plan that hopefully will get me back on track for both goals. Well after I detox from all of the carbs anyways. 😩

I don't usually make goals for the new year because I never stick to them. But, this time last year, I was thinking my goal of losing weight was going to fail again, and I've already lost almost 70lbs! So I think I will start making more goals. Mine is to build up my savings account. I'm going to start small with goals since I know now that I am capable of sticking to things that I want badly enough, but I don't want to get overwhelmed.

i know how you feel about never sticking to resolutions. One year my resolution was to quit trying to quit everything just because of feeling a failures so many times. Small goals are far more realistic than huge resolutions and because they are more attainable we can do more than one a year and achieve more in the long run than the huge goal that overwhelms and we give up. I think you will do great!!
