2017 Goals/Resolutions

[katespade]

Has anyone thought about about goals/resolutions for 2017? It's only a few weeks away!

[amaranth]

I'll keep adding to my list because it's in progress.

1: Eliminate food waste from our lifestyle
2: Be caught up on scrapbooks by end of 2017
3: Read at least 6 books (this is low because of my new sewing hobby I do every evening)
4: Decrease our dining out and grocery budget to $700 total per month (averaged over the year)
5: Keep our outside property more fully maintained in summer months.
6: Don't be a bitch to him when my H has work travel
7: Don't buy clothes for myself. I literally need nothing.
8: Perfect my neckband sewing skill

I keep thinking about all of the extra time I'm going to have without school, and I'm still trying to figure out how to fill that time with something worthwhile.

anyastroud - Definitely not laughing! That's awesome!! There's no reason to wait until Jan 1 to start working toward your goals.

I'm on day two with no soda, so I can kind of understand how you feel right now. It's so hard to change bad habits.

I will probably add to my list, but here's what I have so far:

- Pass the PHR certification exam.
- Continue making improvements with my anxiety.
- Develop a daily yoga routine.
- Cut soda out of my diet.
- Read 24 books.
- Start TTC.

I'll add to this I'm sure but so far:
1. Start working out with a trainer again
2. Pay off the medical bills and at least one student loan
3. Read at least 10 books
4. Declutter and organize the house
5. TTC #2
6. Spend more time on hobbies and less time on my computer/phone or watching TV

Stay strong girl I quit drinking soda 3 years ago this month best decision I ever made.

My husband also quit a few years ago and noticed instant health improvements! He seems to be re-starting the habit though as of this fall

1. Have a baby and adjust to 2u2!!!
2. Be easy on myself (and my marriage) with goal #1

That's all I got! Going to keep it pretty basic!

I am keeping my tradition to not make any goals or resolutions.

[awick14]

1. Lose ~20lbs.

2. Get the renos to our upstairs in our house done, and get the place rented out.

3. Make an actual budget and stick to it.

4. Finish the landscaping and such to our yard at our place. (Zero-scape front yard, install underground sprinklers in back yard, reseed grass, etc)

5. Train for a 10K in Oct of 2017. With a goal of approx 1hr.

6. Read 10 books (I like how lots of us have reading goals)

7. Buy a second house. One in our new city, move to new city, and get settled in by the end of the year.

I haven't made mine yet, but since so many of us (like awick14 said) have reading goals (I will as well) would anyone be interested in a sort of book club. We can all agree upon 1 book a month, or if that's too soon every 2 months! Then we can have discussions about it

[katespade]

travelbug - I think that would be fun!

[luv2rn4fun]

- get back into running
- lose 5- 10 lbs
- have more "me time"
- get involved with a MOPS group
- breastfeed until at least 12 months
- go on a few dates with DH
- family vacation (as long as it's financially possible)

[HoneySpider]

I'm still thinking about mine! I didn't do any this year, and in the past I barely ever achieve them, so maybe I'm better off not making any...

[Blue Moon]

I want to get photobooks done for 2015 and 2016. And just have a general method together for organizing digital photos.
