Goals & Yoga

I realized I haven't posted since CHRISTMAS!!!  Wow...that is a long time.  More than 3 months ago...I really have slacked.  Nothing really "new" in my life right now...other than for those that didn't know, I'm going back to school in August!  Not sure what I'm planning on doing, but we'll see.  :)  I need to talk to a counselor though to see what classes to take since I don't know what I want to go into yet.

Okay, so I don't really have any "resolutions" for this year, but I do have some goals that I really want to accomplish.

1. I want to lose 80 lbs.  However, I don't have a set date, because I'm not sure when I went to do, and I also don't want to pressure myself.  Whenever I say "I want to lose 10 lbs in a month" and I don't do it, then I make things worse because I'm so depressed.  However, if I just tell myself I want to lose weight, and don't give myself a date, then it's a little better.  However, I do want to give myself a reward.  Any ideas?  One that doesn't involve eating badly and lots of money.

2. Along with that, I want to eat more healthy.  I'm trying to quit soda, something that has been difficult for me.  But I keep trying and tell myself not to beat myself up about it when I slip.  I'm doing slightly better about how much I drink in a day, though. :)  I am also going to start packing a lunch more often.  :)

3.  I also want to save money better, something I have been struggling with a lot lately.  I need to stop spending on things I 'want' and start saving for school and a car.  I also know that I need to not eat out so much but it's easier sometimes for lunch.

4.  I also want to exercise more, something that is REALLY difficult for me.  Now that it's getting warmer though, I WANT to walk more.  I also want to go swimming every day when I go back to school because the pool there is free for students.  I'm actually excited about that.

5. I also REALLY want to get my license.  I have kind of gotten cold feet but I know that this is something I need to get done and I really want to get it accomplished to get more independent and also help my parents out between spending so much money on gas (even though I do pay for their gas sometimes) and they can have more time to do what they need instead of driving me everywhere I need to go.

So far these are my goals.  I am going to try my best at doing these!!!

Also, I want to do the Yoga for Congo Women again.  That was so much fun and I want to raise some more money for them.  I am going to try and get the word out better and earlier so we can get more people to do this.  I also am going to sell my sister's crafts and some photography and/or postcards that my brother and I do.  So if you are wanting to sell anything, let me know!  :)

I think that's it for now!
