I like to set resolutions every year. I don't really get stressed out or upset if I don't complete them, I just like to set some goals for my self. I do like to look back on my 2011 goals and see how I did! So lets see:
1. Start working out again. Before I got pregnant I was a running fool. I even ran a half marathon. So I am going to start using my LA fitness membership again since I have been paying for it every month :) But no more half marathons for me lol.
**** After I got the ok from the doctor I did great. I did hit a slump but now I am back on track. I am in my 3rd week of my training for another half marathon. I guess never say never!
2. Be a better spender. I am going manage my money a lot better and start using coupons and such! We are pretty tight financially so I am gonna start cutting back on things, cook more at home, and find ways to save more! I think Jonny will appreciate this :)
**** I am doing great on this one! I haven't been using coupons (and honestly I don't know if I ever will) but I have been cooking at home a lot more and cutting myself off from silly spending. Since we took that Dave Ramsey class I have set a budget and stuck to it! We have control over our finances and it has been great!
3. Drink more water. I did so good while I was pregnant and breastfeeding but now that I am neither- I have taken back my addiction to Dr. Pepper. I am not planning to give it it up entirely (never could do that) but just cut back and drink more water.
**** I have been failing at this one... Goal for 2012
4. Volunteer more. I feel like even though my days are extremely busy, I still have a lot of down time. I want to be better with how I spend my time. I don't just want to simply exist and live my life doing daily mundane things. I want to make a difference. I want to serve those around me. I want to share the Lord through my actions. So I am going to make an effort to volunteer a whole saturday at least once every month (hopefully more- but I don't wanna make a commitment I don't keep).
**** I have been ok at this one. I didn't serve someplace every month but I did do it more! Me and Jonny also started working with 4 year olds in our church. I love giving my time to serve others and the Lord has really grown me in this.
5. Go on a mission trip. Last year me and Jonny went to China with our church. I would LOVE to go on another one this year. I am praying and gonna let the Lord lead me :)
**** I did not feel the Lord leading me to an opportunity this year but I do feel a calling to go on a trip in August next year!
So what goals do I have for this year?
1. Go on a mission trip. Really really would love to do it this year. I am going to a meeting for a trip to Africa at the end of January so we will see!!
2. Run a half marathon. Me and my sister are running the Cowtown in February! I have been doing well with training but it's still 2 months away so lets pray I continue to train well.
3. Go to bed earlier. I am such a night owl (example: its 11:15 and I am still awake). I usually go to bed around 12:30-1 every night. Payton usually sleeps till about 8/8:30 every day. I would really like to start going to bed early so I can get up early. I use Payton as my alarm clock and I would really love to be up and ready before she gets up!
4. Read more. I really hate reading but Jonny keeps reading all these good books and I feel like I should join him. Also, they keep coming out with movies about them!
5. Get pregnant. Haha, but seriously. Me and Jonny would like to welcome another Van Hoy by the end of the year. (I AM NOT PREGNANT at the moment). We are going to start trying after my half!
So here's to a great 2012!
