Happy New Year everybody! This is my last day of vacation, as I go back to the grind tomorrow. But I like change and a regimented schedule will do both my son and me good. I'm not good at following a schedule during my breaks and it can be both relaxing and chaotic. As I start a new trimester in this new year, I have created some goals, not so much a New Year's Resolution, though it is admittedly comparable. So, here they are:
1. Create a fitness routine and stick to it: I'm thinking of 10 minutes of strength training in the morning and a walk or jog in the evening. We got a new puppy, so the walking will definitely happen!
2. Do the 52 Week Money Challenge: Put a specified amount in a jar once a week, and have nearly $1,400 by the end of December! I plan to use the money as "fun money" for the family. I'll probably redo my son's room, give my husband a chunk to do whatever, and revamp my wardrobe with my share.
3. Build My Savings Account: It's getting somewhere, finally!
4. Travel to Florida in August: We haven't had a family vacation ever, so it's time. We have good friends down there and my son will be old enough to enjoy it!
5. Help my son establish bed time independence: we have unwillingly become co-sleepers with our toddler and plan to claim the bed back!
6. Grow at work: I hope to be ready for my next promotion by the end of 2014!
7. Make responsible eating choices: Really, I just need to say no to the goodies offered at work!
8. Pay more attention to my husband: Parenting usually takes precedence over the relationship. I want to remember the relationship more.
What are your goals for 2014?
