2013: A Year of Change

Okay, so I have always been one for New Year's Resolutions.

Most of the time I have always broken the New Year's resolutions I make. But last year was the first year ever that I achieved a yearly goal! In 2012, my goal was to put one picture up a day and create an "i365" via facebook. I did it! Every day for a year, I put up a picture. It was a fun way to document what I was doing each day and be able to share life with those back in Texas.

Now that I have seen myself commit to a goal and finish it, I want to do another! It was motivating for me to do one picture a day and be able to kind of daily check that off.

For 2013, I want to work on 2 things: 1) My relationship with the Lord and getting more time in the Word and just seeking truth and 2) Working out more!

I have come up with smaller goals for each of these because I know that will be more helpful to me. It is not a good idea to just come up with a goal that is too idealistic: it has to be broken down into achievable parts.

For getting more in the word, Tony has bought me a 365 day devotional book. My goal is to spend time in the word every day. No exceptions. Then, once a month, I will document how my time in the Word is going and what I am learning through my blog! I want to really learn truth and be committed to memorizing scripture. I feel that if I know that other people are reading my blog, it is a way that I can be held accountable.

For my second goal of working out, I have made this very achievable. Right now, I hardly ever work out and am WAY out of shape :( :( So, anything is an improvement!! Haha.

My goal is to slowly work out more each week.

For the months of January, February, March, and April my goal is to work out 3 times a week.

For May, June, July, and August my goal is to work out 4 times per week.

For September, October, November, and December my goal is to work out 5 times per week.

Every Friday on my blog I am going to have a "Fitness Friday". My goal is that even if I had a poor week and didn't work out very well or very much, I want to document and journal that on my blog so that I can keep myself accountable. Every Friday I will talk about how my week went- my struggles, my victories, things that helped me or didn't help me in just my goal of working out more.

I want to be as honest as possible in my posts- maybe put sizes of jeans and weight so that my journey can truly be seen.

Most of all, I'm just excited about 2013 and the future that it holds. I think documenting my goals will help my blog more and will help me feel like I have the whole public as my accountability partner! :)

Happy New Year!

For you were bought with a price. So Glorify God with your body.

Joshua 1:8

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
