This week marks a big week for me...if you can believe it, this week is my blogiversary! Wahoo! WAMalicious has been going, not as strong as I'd like, for a year now and I feel that I successfully completed my Challenge 2013: A Metamorphasis in Baby Steps resolution. How about THAT for sticking to a new year's resolution, huh?
Seeing as how it is January and that I am a HUGE, like Jay Leno chin huge, fan of new year's resolutions, I will happily share mine with you. Many people make resolutions, but do not complete them. As I was watching the TODAY show this morning, they had a segment on NY resolutions and one thing that helps people stick with their resolutions is to make them public and tell others. Just a fun tid bit :) This year W and I both did resolutions again and I made simple little cards for each of us so we could display them and look at them everyday...
1. Learn to speak Spanish
2. Be less dependent on technology (mainly cell phone)
3. Live a healthier life...
-work out regularly
-eat right
-get 6 pack back (ow owwww holla!)
Maja
1. Read one book a month for fun
2. Learn to play the acoustic guitar
3. Live a healthier life...
-work out regularly
-eat right
-lose 30 lbs by end of 30 yrs.
My first goal, read one book each month might be a little hard this spring while I finish school, but I am going to do my best. It is a relaxing thing for me to be able to lose myself in a book and take a time out from the real world. I might be asking for some suggestions because I want to read a variety of books, not just my typical chick lit.
My second goal is one I have had for a while. If I hadn't decided to get a master's, I would already know how to play the acoustic guitar. The hubs bought me an acoustic guitar a few years ago for Christmas. He said he knew it was something that I had always wanted and I really wanted to learn to play, but it was also something I would never buy. In other words, it was a dream. He helped make my dream become a reality. Don't worry ya'll....when I can play, I will serenade ALL of you :) I used to want to play punk songs and Christian songs. Now, I would still like to play both, but W knows that my big goal is to learn how to play "Come On Get Higher" by Matt Nathanson (LOOOOVE HIM!). I would love to be able to play and sing to my future unborn kids some day and for W.
Next year's resolution: perfect angel-like singing voice.
My third goal is one that W and I both share, to live a healthier life. I was in great shape before WAM wedding and then life got busy again. I chose the easy, non-healthy route. Why? Because I thought that I was too busy. I made excuses. Tons of excuses. Ugh. It disgusts me. So, together, we are going to get back into a regular workout routine, which I started this morning. I got my butt kicked, but it was good! Also, our eating habits are going to change. We are making simple swaps and smarter decisions. We love to cook together, so this will be fun to cook healthy together!
The last part of my third goal is lose 30lbs. by the end of my 30th year. My bestie, Adri, is also participating in this challenge and is the one who inspired me. Kudos Age! The object is to lose 30lbs before you are 30. Seeing as how my 30th is coming right up, I decided to take the route Adri is taking, which makes absolute and complete sense to me: lose 30 while you are 30. Essentially I am tweaking it even more since I am not 30 until May, but who cares. I will start now and then by May 31st 2015 I will be 30lbs lighter and sexier....holla back! ;) This fits in with my health goal because I am making a lifestyle change rather than going on a diet. Ha. Diets are a joke. Seriously. So are pills. Joke joke joke. Ha. That's my opinion, if you disagree fine. Just don't tell me about it. :)
So. There you have it. My 2014 resolutions. I am excited to tackle these new challenges and am feeling motivated. Stay tuned for the good, the bad and the ugly experiences.
