Happy New Years Eve! Lots to look back on today, let’s start with exercise! About to log my last #BodyPump class of 2018 and then have a 4 mile race tonight! That will bring me to workout 271/365! With the exception of June which is a hectic work month, I worked out 22+ days a month and as you can see by the colored circles often did more than 1 kind of workout. I found my routine, my balance, my groove.
My 2018 intention for the year was BALANCE and I feel really good about the work I’ve done, more on that tomorrow in my Measuring Monday free-write.
I’ve set my 2019 intention as PURPOSE. I have clear goals and priorities and I want 2019 to be able serving them to the best of my ability. When faced with a decision or I choice I want to let my purpose chart my course.
Excited to give the new @blueapron and @ww partnership boxes a try! I did Blue Apron most of 2016 and loved it, my fiancé really got into cooking as a result. Excited to give this a whirl and see if we can build it into our meal planning. I’m thinking after the first month doing it every other week and recycling past recipes. @ww friendly planning is a big part of my 2019 goals!
According to U.S. News, approximately 80% of resolutions fail by the second week of February, so the odds are against us!
Starting Measuring Life in 2010 helped me hold myself accountable. Accountability has always been the key for me to really make a change!
I would love to be your accountability buddy to get you through the first 6 weeks of year. You let me know what works for you, texts, calls, emails. I’m flexible, but I also have ideas. Send me a message if you’d like me to be your 2019 resolution accountability buddy to help you reach your goals!
AFAA (Athletics & Fitness Association of America) crunch time. Making the most of my staycation. I reviewed the text book weekly over the past few months, then I took a break to focus on BodyPump. Now it’s time to review/cram!
I plan to take the groups fitness certification exam before the end of the year!
For the past 6 months as part of a weekly goal setting practice I’ve listed 5 things I’m grateful for each week. I went back through my documents and pulled my 5 from each week and made it a word cloud.
This is a great way to sum up my 2018, but don’t you worry I’ll be writing a full wrap up post on 12/31 which happens to fall on a Measuring Monday writing day!
I noticed today that the outfit I was wearing was almost the same as this Feb 2017 picture with my sister C. However there is a 22 lb difference!
I had just started @ww the month prior. My sister who is a fitness instructor in NYC came down to visit and she purposely brought these pants since we both had them to wear to a BodyPump class.
I remember feeling good when we took to the picture until I saw the picture. I’m coming after you C to be the more lean and toned sister! Thank you C for setting the bar and showing me that we can fight our genetics!
I’m working on this already, but even more so in 2019!
Thanks for the motivation @everydollar @champagneandcapitalgains @nerdsguidetowellness @rachelcruze @thesavingsdiva @thefinancialdiet
In order to stay the course, you first need to set the course.
What will be the north star to guide you in your day to day life?
What’s your intention for 2019?
Fun fact: these size 14 DKNY pants are from my junior year of college (circa 2003). I remember I wore them for this important student leader interview, but soon after I no longer fit them.
I’ve kept them in my closet since then as a sort of goal pants and now I’m at the point where they are getting too baggy after only be brave enough to try them on a few months ago. Trying to wear then enough to compensate for dragging them from CT>NY>TX>AL>VA over the years before donating them!
