So as I mentioned in comments, I decided to keep myself accountable this year by publishing a monthly post detailing how well I've kept up with the goals I rashly made on 31 December/1 January.
Original Goal: Lose Weight.
How I've kept it: I used all Jillian Michaels this month. The DVDs I used were:
Side Note about Yoga Meltdown: I love it. I'm hooked on it, and I look forward to it everytime I do it, but...
....and so do I:p
More than anything, the "losing weight" bit is about getting stronger and improving my endurance with the circuit/interval training workouts I've gotten into this last year. As a plus, I lost three pounds:)
Original Goal: Make all A's this semester.
How I've kept it:
This is the one I've had the most trouble with so far. I've only had a few assignments, but I haven't done as well as I wanted to on them. It's mostly little mistakes that add up, so I think focusing on spending more time on each assignment instead of rushing through them would be best right now.
Best part: Made a 95 on my first Math test:)
Original Goal: Get accepted to all my transfer schools.
How I've kept it: N/A at this time.
Original Goal: Assorted blog goals.
How I've kept it: I had 29 followers when I first made this resolution, and now I have 47! I live in a really isolated area, so I don't get to talk to many people...I love all the comments I get on my blog posts, especially ones from areas far away from where I currently live:) For me, it's absolutely mind-boggling to post something at one time, and then a short while later, have someone from another country comment on it! The world feels so connected now, I love it:)
Original Goal: Stop stressing the small things and go to Church more.
How I've kept it: I've been stressing less, mostly by hiking and yoga. As for Church, I went a grand total of....
ONCE
this month. Bummer.
Nevertheless, these are resolutions for the entire year, not for the month, so I still don't feel like a failure:)
Did you make New Year's Resolutions? More importantly, are you keeping them? Let me know in the comments!
Until Next Time,
Ashley
