- If we are in town on the weekend, go to Church
- There is no reason we should not be doing this. We travel quite a bit, but had gotten out of the habit of going to Church on weekends we are in town. I feel as though it starts off the week on a positive note and makes me feel closer to God when I am in church each week
- Volunteer more
- I don't feel that I have a job that fulfills me personally. With that being said, I want to volunteer more this year so that I feel as if I am doing something to help people. I would ultimately like to do volunteer work with children and need to sit down and find a good organization.
- Read 2 books per month
- One thing I realized over the holidays is that I spend way too much time in front of the TV and on my phone. I have always loved reading, and decided I should spend more time doing so.
- Blog more/take more pictures
- I started this blog as a way for our families to keep up with our pregnancy earlier this year. Clearly that plan didn't work out as planned but I realized I actually really enjoy blogging. Most of the time when I sit down to write a blog, I realize I have no pictures to upload. Therefore, I also want to take more pictures this year. And I suck on figuring out the quickest way to get the pictures from my phone to the blog, so I will work on that as well.
- GET PREGNANT
- This goal is pretty obvious but after over a year of trying, this is one of our ultimate dreams for 2016. We look forward to the day when God blesses us with a sweet miracle of our own.
- Maintain an 80/20 healthy eating lifestyle
- We started the new year out doing Whole30 and while we are only 5 days in, I already feel much better. This will be our second round of Whole30, and it is so difficult and rewarding at the same time. After this round, we plan on eating healthy 80% of the time and allowing ourselves treats 20% of the time.
- Workout in the mornings before work
- So far, I have failed MISERABLY at this goal. I'm talking it hasn't happened once! Ha! And I have no excuse. I need to get better at getting my lazy butt out of bed in the mornings. I feel more energized throughout the day and have my evenings to do whatever I please. Also, it prevents me going through the denial and dread all day while waiting for my workout to roll around.
So there they are--2016 goals. Some of them are ambitious, and some of them I should have already been doing. Here is to a year of getting healthy, having a baby, and sharing our lives on the blog. HAPPY 2016!!
