August Resolutions

This is going to be a thing. I will make this a thing.

1. 4+ workouts each week on BeachBody on Demand, or a total of 16 over the month. I'll count yoga since I'm still nursing an injury.

2. Get up to date on laundry. Laundry is the FlyLady August habit, and while I can't follow along with her routine of putting laundry in the washer in the morning, changing it while you are working around the house, and folding it before lunch, I can definitely do a better job of staying on top of my laundry.

3. Plan outfits (with jewelry) for B2S. I saw this on a WW sista's instagram this week and LOVE THE IDEA. Our classes literally start 2 weeks from today, and I'm already riding the struggle bus into August. I want to take some time (maybe even tonight) to plan some outfits I can "grab and go" from my closet. I might even take pictures and put them in Evernote so I can  easily find something suitable.

4. Read more. I got deep in the podcast hole this month, listening to old episodes of some of my favorites like Stuff You Should Know and Best of Both Worlds, but I really need to listen to audiobooks and read books instead of just spending time half-listening to a podcast. When I had my discounted Kindle Unlimited subscription, I got way ahead on my reading for the year. At this point, I'm actually only one book "behind schedule" which should be fairly easy to make up.
 

July Resolution Check-in

1. Start working out.

Success! I wanted to log 10 workouts over the month and after signing up for BeachBody on demand I completed 11! Not too bad after being gone for a while and dealing with a few annoying injuries.

2. Eat more vegetables.

Well this one was a half success. I did try to eat more veggies, but was still not being successful. Instead I got a tub of Metamucil and signed up for WeightWatchers. This week I've eaten 3-4 servings of veggies per day. But it's August now, can that still count? 

3. Clean the bathroom.

Y'all. I REALLY DID THIS. I like, owned this resolution. My toilet and shower look BETTER THAN EVER. I didn't spend money on a new shower curtain, I just gave mine a good bleach bath and it looks good as new. Now I just need to keep clothes off the floor and we'll be good to go.

4. Spend less money.

I'm not getting into the habit of posting my monthly expenditures and savings (yet), but I promise this was a success. I paid an extra car payment this month and put extra into savings! Holla!

5. Figure out why your boss keeps canceling your meetings.

Haven't had one cancelled since. Woop woop. Still not sure why, so fail/success.

6. Be more punctual.

This has gotten much better. Instead of rolling up at 8:30 on the regular I am now usually sitting at my desk by 8:05. Definitely by 8:20. It's a work in progress.
