My New Years Resolutions- Conquered

When visiting my old blog,"That Girl" I came across one of my draft posts that I thought I would share.

"New Year Goals"

I am not one for resolutions and have never really had any. But as of lately goals have somehow emerged their way into my life. I find myself striving to better the quality of my life everyday. So I thought I would try and focus in and set goals for myself to help achieve a new level of happiness.

Be a better wife!
When I reflect on my own personal actions I realized how selfish I can be! And I want to work on stepping back and letting Michael take control in certain situations. After all he is a wonderful, smart and trustworthy man why not?!?

I am by no means an bad wife but sometimes I am hmm a bit bossy. And truthfully, I don't want to be the woman that always gets her way! I want to make sure my relationship is fair, and reflects both of our opinions and wants. I want to make sure he has the opportunity to take the lead and not just jump on board because I said so. I also want to encourage my husband to speak up and let me know what he wants and not have every decision based on my wants. I want to work on being more supportive which means learning to keep my mouth shut sometimes and letting him take the lead.

Get healthy!

This is the the unhealthiest I have ever been in my entire life. Since graduating college I have had a desk job, and I mean a desk job. I don't move for like 7.5 hours a day and to be honest I'm more tired from not moving around! Thus, I go home and just lounge around and being that I'm tired I just pop in some frozen dinner.

And I can honestly say I feel fat, and have no energy!!! And I decided to change that back in November. I started hitting up the gym three times a week and really started to focus on running. Even though I kinda hate it, I literally can feel the stress I carry in shoulders just melt away and the buzz I get tops any venti carmel white mocha with extra whip.

I also started the Eat Clean diet which I hope to make part of my life style permanently.

Although its tough coming home and preparing meals, its pretty comforting knowing that we are fueling our bodies with tons of veggies and healthy stuff and... I already feel better.

Jog a 5k!

I know this isn't much but for someone that walks less then a mile a day its like climbing a mountain! I already signed up for Warrior Dash but I want to knock out a normal 5k- one without an obstacle course sometime in the future.

These are not merely thoughts or fads, these are things I truly want to accomplish to reach a new level of happiness.
Kinda like a mind, body, spirit cleanse.

So heres to 2012 and a year for personal growth and change!
