We are officially half way through the year, and I couldn't tell you what any of my new year's resolutions are. Luckily, I have them written down. 😉
I'm actually really proud of myself, because without really remembering what my resolutions were, I've made some progress! I have successfully lost ten pounds. I went to Philly, and have been more focused on my personal progress, than watching television. Though, I still think I watch too much.
I need to be more committed in regards to challenging myself to learn new things. While I've done some things, like trying a new exercise and health regimen, committing to a better method to cleaning my apartment, and (for the most part) checked my expectations at the door, allowing me to be more open to learning new things. But, I can definitely do more. I'm going to start making monthly goals lists again to make sure that I hold myself accountable, and actually do what I say I'm going to do. Somehow I just lose track of time, and things just never get done.
Lose 10 pounds. Around the middle of 2016, I really noticed my body change. All of a sudden it was harder to stay at my usual weight. My metabolism is different than it used to be, and I need to roll with that. Eat better and exercise more!
Stop my T.V. addiction. I have a really bad habit of coming home after work, doing my exercises, eating dinner in front of the T.V., and then never getting back up. I sit there for hours every night. It's not healthy, and it's keeping me from doing the things I need to do.
Elevate my standards. There are so many things out there that I do, that I don't think twice about. And, there's probably a better way to do those things. I need to make certain things in my life more of a priority. For example, in one area, I need to be better about purchasing or making non-toxic products. Another, would be setting aside time to actually make a healthy dinner. If I ever have a family of my own, I want these habits to already be a part of me. I don't want to worry about changing when it happens, because then my future family will suffer because of it.
Do all those things I've been meaning to do. Even though I live so close, I have never run up the Museum of Art steps in Philly. I've been promising myself I'd go for years. Like, 10! I'm actually going to go in 2017. Along with that is volunteering, taking classes for fun, and actually using all of my work vacation days.
Challenge myself. I took a webinar for brain health a few months ago. And, what I learned was, in order to have a healthy mind, you need to continue to challenge yourself. You can never let yourself to too comfortable. So, when I notice myself get into a groove, it's time to find something more challenging.
