Happy belated New Year! My holidays were.....busy! So, now it's that time of the year where everyone is trying to change themselves and grow as a person and lose weight. Well, here I am, jumping on that band wagon. And YES, my new years resolutions NEVER come through for me. Let me tell you about what type of person I am. I am a procrastinator, I never finish anything (even the last bite of a sandwich), I am always ready to eat something, and I thoroughly enjoy laying in bed watching Netflix vs. the type of person I wish I could be: athletic, goal oriented, busy, a get-things-done type of person. Yet, here I am typing up this blog post about....my new years resolutions...HA. Normally, I try to make a fresh new start for myself about 3 times a year. You know those moments, after you spend hours on Pinterest and YouTube, where you're like HEY I can and need to be just like these perfect humans I am seeing on the internet. So you start to think of how you can accomplish this and how you're "starting over". So, here is the notorious time of the year where everyone "starts over". My goals this year are to better who I am already.
1. Be healthier - be fit
YES, LOSE WEIGHT. But I'm trying to NOT make that the goal. So, to achieve this I plan to be taking small gradual steps because you cannot do everything all at once.
- Control portion size
- 1/2 your plate veggies/fruit, 1/4 protein, 1/4 carbs
- use smaller plates
- do not eat out of bags
- plan meals
- Drink Water!
- simple as that!!
- Start Working Out
- I will be making my own personal workouts, easy for at home (I don't have a gym membership)
- Stay Away from Sweets
- Coca-Cola and sweet tea are my WEAKNESS! I'm from the south, what can I say. So this will be very hard for me!
- Document
- Take pictures, have a food journal, and make monthly updates.
2. Better Your Creative Self
- Photography
- Bring your camera everywhere
- Film adventures
- Take snap shots
- Drawing
- Bring a sketchbook/doodle book every where
- Sketch at least once a day
3. School
- Make all A's
- Keep up with online classes
- Keep up with your planner
4. Ect.
- travel more
- save money
- spend more time with people who truly matter
- stay true to yourself
- channel and get to know in different ways
