4. blog at least once a week
5. create a budget plan
6. order photos and get framed

Although this month has already started I plan to jump in and check all or most of these off my list

a Kardashian New Year



 

Yes I do watch the Kardashian's! Khloe and Kourtney have always been my favorite. I have been thinking about what I wanted out of 2016 because 2015 was a blur and I was so busy at being busy I don't have a lot to say about 2015 except I'm glad its over. I started reading Khloe's book and it hit home and a lot of the same things I have been thinking about.

My kids school sports schedule in one big joke!!! I think we should just take the schedule out of it because either they don't have one and you never know what the heck you are doing or you get one only to be changed 40,000 times. Who wants to have that many scratched out things in their pretty planner. This girl right here!!! That issue has almost lead to the death of me. That is my sole issue with this year and I let my mood from that drift into all the other aspects of my life and it just wasn't good. I'm so OCD and thrive on schedule and routine so when I don't get a schedule and its fly by the seat of your pants kind of thing or another change in the schedule oh wait another change it drives my cuss word nuts. I understand things change from time to time but not all the time and times again because of another change. It got to a point to where I was mentally and physically ill over this. I have been dealing with this for 4 years now and this past year I literally had ENOUGH!


While reading her book I decided right then and there that this is the last thing in life I should let it effect my mood, my husband, my kids, and my friends. I never wanted to do anything due to my brain being mentally exhausted from it all nor did I feel like dong anything from being physically drained from the chaos. I have a God who loves us wholeheartedly and never forsakes us that shows more grace than I ever deserve, a husband who does his best providing for us, healthy kids who I would be bored without, great friends who I have been put on the backburner.

 

2016 Goals:

 

Grow in my Faith

I've put it on hold for business when I should of made it my first priority

 

 





Khloe's advice: Don't sweat the small stuff.

we spend a lot of time wallowing and or complaining about what's wrong with life...

It's not fair we complain, not realizing that, perhaps, it was never intended to be





Be present: live in the moment!!

The dishes and laundry can wait



This hits home with me so much and its my biggest struggle in life.

I want to house to be perfect with everything its in perfectly organized spot with all my candles filling the rooms with wonderful fragrance in the air, my planner planned out for the week, month, or year anything I know in advance is color coded as well as meal planning. If I am doing something I am all in and I want it perfect. One of the hardest things for me is letting the kids make a mess I want to shout and cry buy I realize that's what being perfectly imperfect looks like. Trying to strive to make everything perfect is never ending and in turn has stolen my joy for loving life it feels more like a chore that never ends.

There you go those are my New Years resolutions. What are your?



November Goals

Last week was I didn't workout as hard as I should and I didn't eat clean or even 50% clean and I can tell I never thought I would be able to tell how I felt by my eating but it is so true when I eat like shit I feel like shit. I couldn't work out hard or long because I was just not feeling it and it was all due to my eating. So this brings me to:

November Goals:

 

1. Eat as clean as I can even on Thanksgiving. I am limiting my cheat meal to Sunday because we have family Dinner every Sunday with the In Laws and Grandmother and Sister in Law. We all take turns cooking on Sundays. I will let myself eat a little of something bad but I have to remember to cheat in portion control. Just because I choose to cheat doesn't mean I can eat whatever and how much. I am only allowing myself to only drink water and a few unsweet tea here and there.

 

 

2. Drink at least 70 ounces of water ever single day. This is very hard for me due to I'm not a big drinker. I only seem to drink when I eat so I have to make it a habit to always carry or have a bottle of water with me.

3. Workout 4-5 times a week. I have been lifting weights and trying to work my way up heavy. I'm finding that I love it but my Cardio sucks. My SIL and I have been working out and have had a schedule

Monday: Lower body & Couch25k  

Tuesday: Upper body, Cardio 

Wednesday: Couch25k  

Thursday: Lower body & Cardio

Friday: Upper body & Couch25k

I am always looking for new workouts. On upper body day I feel like I don't get a good workout as far as calories are involved I def don't burn enough to satisfy me so I on the hunt for an awesome arm workout that makes my arms on fire. I have been doing the Julian Michaels arm workout. I feel like I need to add more to it but don't know what.



 



4. Couch25k I want to get off week 3. I cant get off week 3 to save my life. I have been running on a treadmill inside and recently started running outside and it is so much harder. I'm trying to get my mind right and finish week 3 its like I do good Monday and then Tuesday I struggle and Friday and I just cant finish the last 3 minutes of running or I stop in between and walk for a minute. Its a mental thing I know and my legs will only hurt for a little bit.

5. Loose at least 7lbs. I didn't want to set my goal at 5 because I feel like 5lbs is always water weight and I seem to loose 5lbs then gain it back I can never loose more than 5 so I am going for it and setting the bar high for me at 7lbs. I know you are not supposed to count weight only inches so I measure myself and will measure again once the month is over. I hope I loose inches in my wide hips

 

There it is my November goals. I am more determined than I think I have been ever and I am blogging about it so I can be held accountable. I mean who want to blog at the end of the month about not meeting and of her goals, right?

Any good workouts or recipes I would love them

Weekends Where Abouts & Goals

My early morning Valentine....Rhett man

He has pitched so many fits about his hair he has won and he gets his Faux Hawk

his hair in this picture is way to short for me so I'm crying inside

 

Just when you think you have it all planned out and then the paint comes off the wall and breaks your wallet with a whooping 1400.00 paint estimate I can no longer have a Roomba for V-day :(

Although the Farmer did small gift really well Fanny May Berries has the best strawberries they were so big and juice I loved them. Thanks you Boo 

 

What idiot plans softball games on freezing days? That's all I want to know.

This is some serious Redic-ness right here.

It took me forever to thaw out once I finally got home I think I have Frost bite

Im a cold weather wuss

 

The Farmer is helping Coach until he has to get back in the field and as big as a Daddy's girl Maci is she isn't sure about him Coaching her. She is always telling him don't dance, sing or act any kind of crazy and embarrass me. LoL  So the whole ride to the game he was asking her if he could do Im Sexy and I know it and Gangnam Style she was sweating it. He loves giving her a hard time

 

Team huddle and Prayer

 

 

Goals:

Last Friday I decided to give this Couch 2 5k app a try and I actually did alot better than what I thought. I made it I didn't think I would be able to do it but I tried and completed the first day

My goal this week is to complete Week 1

My feet are killing me .... any ideas to help its the arches. They are not used to running due to the fact I have not run...ever. I have good shoes but man the bottom of my feet are killing me



I am also going to try to eat alot healthier, last week I ate whatever but I was portion control instead of 4 cupcakes I only had 1 same with my wine instead of 2 bottles I stuck to only1. I think I'm going to work my way into trying the Yeast Free diet but for this week I'm going to really watch my carbs and sugar the best I can so hopefully when I start I will not have the horrible headaches and yucky moods.

This is what I'm currently reading and it is so good. Its for all Moms and I promise you if you are a Mom it is a must read. This goal has nothing to do with fitness but I want to make sure I take in each and every moment with my monsters and I'm going to try to get through this whole week without yelling at them. Yes I'm a yeller I yell at everything and everyone I'm very loud what can I say?





To actually cook this week. The Farmer has been doing all of the cooking while he is off. He shares the same cooking passion as me what can I say but with him fixing to get back into the field Ive got to get back into the game.
