Goals for 2012


Once you get married, it's easy to put on weight.  Especially when you've got a hubby with bad eating habits!  Unfortunately, those bad habits have REALLY caught up to both of us.  The above picture was in 2007.  Not perfect, but MUCH better than what I've got going on right now.  So most of my goals for this year have to do with weight loss!  Anyway, here they are!

1. Start eating healthy again.  I'm not trying to redo everything all at once, becasue I know from experience that doing so doesn't work for me.  But my overall goal is to be eating mostly healthy foods, and only a few treats, by the end of the year.

2. Cook at home.  I do this a little now because of our job situations, but I want to learn to "sneaky chef" myself.  I really hate the texture of most vegetables, so I plan to find a way to put them in recipes (blended, chopped very finely, etc.) so that I eat them AND we save money!

3. Graduate and get a new job.  This one's pretty self explanatory, and hopefully fairly easy to fulfill.

4. Do something special for Matt at least once a month.  We tend to just stay home and do the same old thing all the time.  I hope to be able to find a way to mix it up a little bit.  In the Spring and Summer I'm sure we'll use our Rock City Annual Passes, which is a good start!

5. Get the house CLEAN AND ORGANIZED!  Our house is really a little strange.  There is hardly any storage space.  My main focus is going to be on the living room.  That's where company spends most of their time (which we never have now, because the house is so messy).  I would love to be able to have this as a habit for Matt and I.  It will be a lot easier when everything has a space!

Well, those are the top 5 things.  I want to keep these goals, not overwhelm myself!  Baby steps!

Do you have any goals for 2012?
