This first week of the year we are working on recharging, starting a new schedule, cleaning, organizing, and planning. (this really means getting rid of all the junk food left in my house) I am getting recharged and ready to embrace 2018. I took a little time off from blogging in the end of December and I didn't stress it. I have taken an unplanned step back from working out (more on that later). I also have been pretty lazy this holiday season and watched a lot of Hallmark movies. Time to get my butt motivated and start doing stuff again.
2017 had a lot of changes. Good and bad and a roller coaster of a ride. I took a lot on my plate, Brian had more added to his plate, and our family had more needs.
- I left the travel agency I was working with. We were not a good fit with goals, quotas, and support.
- I left my full time job to be a stay at home mom in April. I wouldn't change that at all. This was the best decision we made as a family, for our family.
- Ella started Kindergarten. With that I became a Daisy Girl Leader, and an active member of the PTA. Ella also did cheerleading in the fall for a different school district so we had to drive an hour round trip 2-3 times a week for practice and games.
- In October I stopped being a Beachbody coach and helping, inspiring, and motivating others and myself on a health and fitness journey. At the time I did what I believed was best for myself and our family. However by doing so I stopped working out, putting my own health and fitness as a priority. I didn't realize at the time how much I needed that accountability and support in my life.
Every year we set goals for ourselves. How often do we really achieve all, most, or any of our goals? Last year I had very unrealistic unattainable goals, since I put way too much on my plate. I made categories and listed way too many things I wanted to achieve or do. Looking back I didn't complete 3/4 of them. My goals and priorities changed as the year went on. I honestly forgot what I had written down. I wanted to do so much all at the same time, but there wasn't enough time, motivation, or priority.
This year I want to be the YEAR OF ME!!! I want to live a more intentional and guiltless life.I need/want to focus on myself again. When I was working out daily and eating less processed, wholesome food I had so much more energy and wasn't as sick as often, or for as long and I didn't have my back pain flair-ups. I don't want to do it to get attention from anyone. I need to do it for myself because I care about how I look and feel. I want to create a lifestyle that works for me and my family that includes a healthy balance of fit, fun, and freedom.
By doing this for me, my family especially my kids will benefit by having the happy, healthy, active, present mom back again.
