I read on a news post today that January 6th is said to be most depressing day of the year -- I'm guessing this is only because of those people who make New Years resolutions and can't keep up with them by 6 days into the year.
Luckily for me, I didn't make any "New Years Resolutions" .... my quest for a happier, healthier, fuller life started about the week before !! :)
Here are the goals our family has set to achieve in 2014. Some are hard. Some are a stretch. Some are common sense. All we need to work on!!
Joe Goals
Run a Marathon
Jen Goals
Run a Half Marathon
Spend time every day *exercising *Alone time *Spiritual study
Family Goals
Run/Walk 2014 miles
Stick to a written budget
Strive to be healthy in our diet
Read the Book of Mormon
So yes, we have every possible "resolution" you can think up -- but I think my little family was ready for a big life change. We are doing good ... but can always be better! And I need to focus on our accomplishments because it makes us have the desire to keep moving forward. For example. I've been eating healthy and exercising for a week now and in that time I have noticed a big difference! I have lost 8 lbs (wahoo in a week!!). I feel thirsty when I don't drink water (because I've been drinking water more, my body is better at telling me that I need it!), my body (even though I'm at my heaviest ... sigh) still remembers how to exercise! I can't run as far as I used to -- but I'm not back at ground zero either!. My heartburn has essentially gone away (suh-weet!) and I don't get as many headaches. I have more energy. I don't loose my temper as quickly. I feel motivated. Excited. Empowered. And ready to kick 68 more pounds to the curb!
