Recap of 2016 New Year Resolutions

• Continue weight loss – or more specifically toning
  • I totally failed this. I gained all the weight I lost from the previous year thanks to the boyfriend life.
• Stay in touch and spend more time with family and friends
  • I did way better at staying in touch with family members (thanks to fantasy football) but friends wise, I would say I did way less spending time with them since the ones I usually see either moved away or had a baby.
• Meet new people
  • Thanks to the boy toy’s friends and family.
• Read more
  • Read way more than I did last year which is a plus but not as much as I wished I did.
• Never stop learning
  • I’ve learned so much this year about myself. Some that surprised me and helped me grow a lot.
• Travel to somewhere I’ve never been
  • Seattle, Vancouver, and Colorado. I’ll say I was super successful in this resolution.
• Unplug more and just enjoy life
  • I sure did. I was blogging so much in the beginning and started to do it less when I started dating. I also don’t check Facebook as much as I use to which is a plus.

My 2017 New Year Resolutions

• Focus more on health and fitness
• Read more
• Travel somewhere new
• Blog at least once a week

They are pretty much the same resolutions I have every year but they’re good ones to keep.

Be safe out there! Happy 2017, y’all!

Recap of 2015 New Year Resolutions

• Blog more
  • Actually did pretty well … given a lot of the middle posts were private. Blogging got me through a lot of my thoughts and though I wish I didn’t post some, it’s too late to take back but it’s taught me a lot as well.
• Focus on health and fitness
  • Well … the health thing I got down. The fitness due to past injuries took a while longer. Being able to lose weight this year is a goal I never thought I’d achieve. But I did.
• Do what I love
  • Though I had a lot of downs, I did have many ups. I got to do a lot of things I loved and a lot of last second decisions have been some of the best. I’m still learning to not freak out when plans don’t follow through though.

My 2016 New Year Resolutions

• Continue weight loss – or more specifically toning
• Stay in touch and spend more time with family and friends
• Meet new people
• Read more
• Never stop learning
• Travel to somewhere I’ve never been
• Unplug more and just enjoy life

We’ll see how these resolutions go. Fingers crossed!

San Antonio. Austin. Dallas. Cancun. Hong Kong. Thailand. Big or small, this just might be the year of travels. I just have to factor in travel expenses and vacation days before it’s a yes to everything.

Bridesmaid for two of the five weddings means more expenses – dresses, bachelorette and bridal parties, gifts, etc. Luckily two of the five weddings are right here in Houston. The one in Cancun is still up in the air on whether or not I go but gosh do I want to go. To see my friends get married and just look at that gorgeous blues!

And because there is so much going on, I have to remind myself to stay on track so here are 2015 New Year Resolutions.

Blog more. Almost all the blogs I use to follow stopped blogging. They’re too busy living life – being married, being a mother; understandable. It got me unmotivated to blog because I started losing my friends – people I have never met. But I just have to remember to blog for myself.

Focus on health and fitness. I stopped when I got into that car accident back in March. Although my collar/shoulder isn’t fully 100% healed, I just have to slowly rebuild the muscles around those parts. Slow and steady wins the race! Above is one of my favorite eats. Plate of greens with grilled chicken and pesto pasta. YUM!

Do what I love. Sometimes I forget to just have fun or to just wind down. I am the type of person that always has to have something going on and when plans don’t follow through I freak out. I made a last second decision to go to a Rockets game with Zuco this Monday and it was one of the best times ever. Spontaneous. No planning. Perfection.

Thing Good Thoughts.

Til next time,

2013 New Year Resolution Recap:

• Lose 25+ lbs or at least some weight.

Lost 11 lbs and counting!

• Live healthier. Eating …. working out. Yah know. Same old same old.

Right on track. Though the working out got slacked when Rizzo came into my life.

• PR on my 5k even if it is just one minute.

Nope.

• Be a better blogger by not slacking off as much and reaching out more.

Committed by getting my own domain and changing my blog up. Decided to let got for a bit because I was too consumed. I hope now that it’s a new year, I’ll be back and at ‘em.

• Dress better because I look like a grandma when I’m at work.

Getting better … takes time!

• Hello over humongous pores! I need to better my skin routine.

Slowly … so so slowly.

• As much as I love being one of the guys I love being a girl. I just have to be less lazy and just be more like a girl.

Still waiting for the girl to come out.

So now we move on to 2014 Resolutions.

• Continue to lose weight.
• Never give up on blogging.
• Volunteer more.
• Stay in touch with friends. Especially those getting married.
• Cross a few more things off my Bucket List!

I’m not sure what else. Making resolutions are getting harder as you get older.

Here’s to New Year, New Memories!

Happy New Year’s Eve, lovelies!
