New Years Rezzies

Before we get down to business and discuss my goals for 2013, let's look back to December and see how I did with my goals for the month. 

*Send out Christmas Cards!

*Get a haircut.

I didn't even think about considering making an appointment. Maybe this month I will make some progress on the hair front. 

*Make gallery wall over fireplace.

Nope...again, didn't even think about getting this done. 

*Celebrate my birthday! 

It was a great birthday! I was sick on my actual birthday, but the Friday after my birthday I was able to go out to dinner with my bestest friends which was SO fun! 

*Wrap Christmas gifts. 

This was no easy task with a newborn, but I was able to get all of our presents wrapped and even had a day to spare, nothing like cutting it close. 

*Go to yoga. 

I really, really need to get my booty into shape but December was not the month to start. 

*Finish the master bedroom.  

FAIL, again. 

*Have 2nd Annual Christmas dessert making party with my Beeb! 

We did it! And it was so much fun! 

*Start thinking of some New Years resolutions!

See below!  J

Last year, my only New Years Resolution was to set monthly goals and share them on the blog. I have LOVED doing that and it's really kept me accountable and helped me to achieve small little goals throughout the year. I am going to continue my monthly goals but also have some larger goals that I want to accomplish this year, which are...

*Lose all the baby weight + 8 more pounds. 

 I am hoping that I can get back to my pre-baby weight minus a few more pounds by the end of this year. 

*Run/Walk 400 miles

I cannot wait until it is nice enough to get out and walk the lakes with my baby and my puggle. I was so proud of myself for walking 269 miles during my pregnancy and I figure if I can go that far in 9 months while pregnant there is no reason I can't do 400 in a full year. Also, I set this goal for myself a couple of years ago and didn't reach it, so this is also a redemption goal. 

*Run three 5Ks

I am planning on running Goldy's 5K in April and The Color Run in July and I want to find one more fun one to do. Then, I just need to sign up for all of them and actually run them. 

*Makeover Wardrobe

My poor, poor wardrobe. For starters, I was pregnant for 9 of the 12 months last year so the clothes I did buy were pregnancy friendly and not necessarily the cutest. Also, all of the extra money I had went to baby stuff and finally, I really only shop for clothes when I have an event or something to go to and then I only buy a new shirt or dress. SO, I desperately need to invest in some cuter clothes. I want to slowly replace the old with the new and get myself in style. 

*Tighten Up Finances

All of last year, I used my super awesome budget spreadsheet to track our finances which was a HUGE help! This year I want to continue to use it but use last year's spending as a way to tighten up some of those categories and hopefully save some money (and have more extra money for that upgraded wardrobe J)

And finally, my goals for January...

*Walk/Run 25 miles

In order to hit my 400 mile goal for the year I need to do an average of 34 miles a month. Since it's much harder to clock miles in the winter, I'm going to try to do 25 during the cold months and make up the difference during the summer. 

*Go to at least one yoga class. 

If I'm going to be walking/running 25 miles, I need to be realistic in that I may not have time for too much more (still trying to figure out this whole working, being a mom and working out routine). SO, I'm going to attempt to also get to just one yoga class this month to start me off.

*Lose 6 pounds.

Random number, I know, but Jason and I are going to Colorado for Valentines Day and I'd like to lose 10 pounds by then...so I need to ditch at least 6 of those 10 pounds this month. 

*Put SOMETHING into savings. 

I don't care if it's $1. I need to add to that savings account. 

What are your resolutions for 2013?
