On My Wishlist - Fit Bit Surge

via

One of my goals this year is to run. I'm not a runner. I've never been excited about running. I hated it all through playing sports in school. However, I've always wanted to love running. It seems people either love it or hate it. I want to love it! My Aunt is sooo in love with running. She does like 50,000 miles a week. Okay, not really. She gets so excited about it! I don't plan on doing any marathons like she does, but I want to start small. I really really really want the new Fit Bit Surge when it comes out. It has EVERYTHING. I've been wanting a new watch for a while. I have a heart rate monitor and I have a fit bit, however I want to only wear one thing daily. I don't like having to switch it up. I also know there's plenty of free apps on my phone if I want to deal with that, but I don't haha I have some gift cards saved up and plan on using my holiday pay to purchase this baby as soon as it is released! This will help keep me motivated and track my progress. I've decided to try to spend money only on healthy things this year and put as much as possible into savings. I have a family trip to Hawaii planned for this winter! I also really need to get my butt to New York (I've been saying that for years). 

What do you plan on spending your money on this year?

Weekly Thought & Motivation Project by Sealed with a Kay

Have you checked out Kayla's blog? She lives in the Houston area too! She's super sweet and super awesome for coming up with this 52 week project. I am working on being more organized with this blog and my small business. This project definitely helps with that! Each month, Kayla posts weekly topics to talk about. I'm going to try to join in!

Week 3 (1/20/14)

1. Messy or Neat? - I am a neat freak at work but I can get pretty messy at home. My messy is not folding or hanging clean laundry for a week. I HATE putting my clothes away. I'm not sure why haha I tend not to make my bed either. My pup is in my bed all day and I know he likes to snuggle under the blankets. This year I am determined to be neat at home too!
2. On a scale from 1-10 how healthy are you? (10 being in great health) - I would guess I'm a 7. I've always been pretty healthy. I love healthy food (as well as some pretty unhealthy foot!). I've been HORRIBLE at working out though. I've recently posted about the fact that I'm sooo fluffy. Since Jan 2 of this year, I have been on a great schedule and I'm keeping up with it! I'm hoping to get closer to a 10 soon! 
3. What can you do to improve your health this week? - I can continue doing T25 five days a week and continue with my 30 day yoga challenge. I need to keep up with my meal planning and portion control. I have been eating clean and natural foods!

I'm Sooo Fluffy

I am sooo fluffy guys...

One of my resolutions is to work out. I have been doing a 30 day yoga challenge and did some Turbo Fire with my bestie in Fort Worth this weekend. She recently became a Beachbody coach and is making great changes for herself and others! She's convinced me to try shakeology. I've had two shakes so far and they were pretty good! I did some grocery shopping so I can't wait to try out some of the other recipes. My aunt and I are using portion control and eating clean. I even bought new tupperware to get organized. I've got a Pinterest board for healthy recipes. I got a new calandar/checklist app that makes me smile with each reminder on my new phone :) 

I even ordered these! I really cannot allow myself to come up with any excuses. My friend even got me to join a challenge group with her to keep me motivated and accountable. Let me tell you, having Jessi take my measurements and stepping on that scale was NOT fun.I am determined to get those numbers down! She has inspired to make a plan and stick to it! 

Are you trying to be a healthier you this year? What changes are you making in 2014?

2014

This year I will...

I will be organized - I have made a schedule for blogging, sewing, eating, working out, social networking, etc. I WILL keep up with this schedule. 

I will save money - I have set up an auto draft out of my paycheck. It is a small amount for now, but I plan on increasing it. 

I will send more snail mail - It makes me happy. I want to make others happy. I'm on the hunt for cute stationary!

I will enroll in classes - I will do this before the summer. I need to finish up some classes so I can apply to a healthcare administration program.

I will improve my business - I will actually produce my ideas and sell them. It is in my schedule. 

I will print out and frame pictures - I finally bought myself a picture frame and put some of my favorite people in it right above my tv. It makes me smile EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I want more.

I will eat clean - My aunt and I have decided to cut out processed foods. 

I will work out six times per week - I've started a 30 day yoga challenge. There's an elliptical in our living room. My apartment has a gym. I cannot be lazy anymore. 

I've printed out this little collage I made and taped it to my closet door. We'll see how the year goes. I'll keep you updated :)

What are your goals for this year?
