Goals For 2018

I saw this yesterday and decided that I needed to write down all my goals for 2018. If I post them here then I will feel far more motivated to crush them!

1. Get Healthy! 

I know, I know this is one of those goals everyone has every year and doesn't stick with but I'm putting it first on my list because to me it's the most important. My main reasoning is honestly vanity reasons- I gain all of my weight in my stomach and I can't stand it. I know I need to do a combination of eating healthy and working out regularly and I've already begun to work on that. Once I make a little progress I'll share with you how I'm doing but for now I'll just say that going to the gym and eating semi-healthy are my top two priorities for this goal!

2. Get Out Of Debt!

I have a small amount of debt compared to most people but it's still there. I've been working on decreasing it (it's all credit card debt) but honestly it's slow moving. I know that I can 100% have it paid off by the end of the year but I aiming in the next couple of months to have everything paid off. I think my tax return will help me achieve this and I will keep you updated on this as well.

3. Save For A House

Now originally I wrote "Buy A House" but decided that was a little unrealistic. I know we need to save a hefty down payment in order to buy a house and also need to continue to figure out what we can really afford and find a house we love. It's still a ways off but I want my savings account to increase and know that buying a house is a possibility by the end of the year.


What are your goals for 2018?!

Get out there and crush them!

2014...2015

Well, it's here New Years Eve. It's time to start thinking about what we want to change in the next year. What goals we want to set and what we regret from the year that has passed by. Here's what I want to change:

1. Be Social.

In case you weren't aware (I don't think I've ever discussed this on the blog before) I suffer from anxiety. One of the best things one of my ex-boyfriends ever did for me was convince me to see a doctor and get anxiety medication. My anxiety is mostly social- I get nervous entering into crowded rooms or going somewhere and meeting someone. I'm always nervous that I won't be able to find the person I'm supposed to meet and will end up wandering aimlessly while people around judge me. It sounds stupid- but it's really difficult to function in a world like this.

My goal for 2015 is to work on being social. I want to talk to more people and not hide in my shell. I'm a pretty shy person and it's difficult for me to think up things to talk about in social settings. I want to work on combating that this year.

2. Let My Guard Down, But No Broken Hearts

I fall fast and hard. This is something I also haven't discussed here on the blog since it's a more personal issue, but I think it's important to share. I tend to do one of two things when meeting someone new: I either guard my heart with walls of steel or I let my guard down too quickly and end up with a broken heart. I know it seems like an unrealistic goal but I would like to find a happy medium where I'm not hurting but also not regretting how I lacked putting myself out there.

3. Find A Healthy Balance Of Health and Fitness

I now work at a place with a gym built in- and get a free membership. It's a pretty amazing perk but I also don't want to hang around at work more then I already have to. I need to create a plan to fit exercise into my life in a healthy way. I also want to start planning out my meals and making sure I'm living a healthier lifestyle. This isn't to lose weight or reach a crazy fitness goal- it's simply about being healthy.

4. Create Balance On The Blog

I need to work on creating a balance in my life that allows me to get all my work done and still have fun. I also need to remember my responsibilities. I go through phases where all I can think about is this blog and getting new content on the site as quick as possible. Other times I forget about it for days because there is so much going on in my personal life.

I enjoy blogging so much that I know I could never give it up- but this year I may not always post five days a week. Project 365 will be ending tomorrow and I will not be doing it again in 2015. Couponing Wrap-ups will no longer be weekly and I will only post them when I actually feel like couponing. I'm not sure what other changes will come throughout the new year but I promise my presence in this little corner of the web will never disappear. =)


What are your goals or resolutions for 2015?

Have a great New Years Eve everyone- be safe and I'll see you all next year ;)
