2015 Monthly Resolutions

I am completely guilty of being one of those "New Year, New Me" people. I mean, I can't start a diet in the middle of the week.. I just can't. It has to be a Monday.. or the 1st of a month. And I will ALWAYS bash food and gain about 3 pounds right before my diet. Always. My New Year's Resolutions usually have to do with bettering myself.. diets, more reading, running a few times a week, gym, read more, etc. You get the picture. I've got big dreams.. and they always end up the same.. waiting for the next new year so I can TRY again.

This year I want to do something different. Monthly resolutions.. or GOALS! Then, at the end of each month I'll review how I did so I hold myself accountable.I think holding myself accountable a month at a time is more attainable than a whole year.  Whoo hoo! I'm excited. Here we go..

January Goals:
Okay, This one is going to be simple because.. well, who can really complete anything with a newborn around? Certainly not me! ;-)

1. Find a dermatologist. I have multiple moles that really SHOULD be looked at. And I want to get in the habit of annual skin checks. It's important, people.
2. Go to ONE movie with my husband. Even though I'll have a newborn and a toddler, I still think date nights are so stinking important. We definitely have enough people dying to get their hands on our babies for a couple hours.. a babysitter won't be a problem. The most important part of this goal, is it will make my husband INFINITELY happy. He loves movies, and.. I.. don't. I'm alright once I'm there, but movies aren't my cup of tea. However, Jake IS my cup of tea.. so off to the movies we will go.. Jake, get your pick ready..
3. Organize my storage room. Woof. I have plenty of storage area, but I don't have the containers to store everything in an organized way. That MUST change. Holidays are over, and now is the time to do it! Plus, I'll be off work. It's gonna have to happen. Wish me luck!
4. Shower.. 2-3 times a week. This one is my most practical. I mean, a toddler, a newborn, two dogs, a hungry husband and a house to manage.. MUST. MAKE. TIME. TO SHOWER. ;-)
5. Dry brush and coconut oil, . Listen, my friend Morgan, who I adore times a million, brought a dry brush and coconut oil to our Christmas gift exchange and I got it! It is supposed to have a ton of benefits (seriously, look it up.. amazing), but the ones I am looking most for are decreasing stretch marks (I'm a road map.. where do you need to go.. I probably have a path).. and decreasing/preventing cellulite. Yes, please. I really want to start focusing on my skin and keeping it healthy (hence goal #1).. so.. let's see if this helps. Morgan swears by it and hey, it can't hurt to try!
6. Don't look past my babies to focus on my messy house. This one is big for me. I have a tendency to let a messy house overwhelm me. Not this time. I am going to focus on loving my babies and husband.. and giving them all the attention they deserve. Anyone who comes to visit.. forgive my house.. I'll be busy living and loving! ;-)

Okay, I think that is PLENTY for my first month. We will see how I do! ;-)
