New Years Resolutions!

Hello!
I know I am a week late for posting my new years resolutions.  However, I spent this first week really thinking of ways I could accomplish these.  I have four big ones.  I'm writing them here so I feel like I have to accomplish these.  I'm really excited to work on these.  So this first post is what they are, and then I'll post weekly of one item I'd like to incorporate into my life so I'm trying to change everything all at once.  I'm more trying to change one or two habits at a time.

1. Loose Weight and Get in Shape:  I know this is a huge one, and a very common one.  However, this is something I have been contemplating on for a while.  In December I booked a ticket for Hawaii for one of my husband's work trips.  This was my first goal was to loose 10lbs by then.  So I got a head start on this resolution and joined Weight Watchers Online.  I'll do a separate post on how it is working for me and why I choose it.  I've been really good about it and have already lost 8lbs!!

2.  Make Time: Over the past month I've really noticed how I have not been using my time wisely. I'll spend five hours watching "Game of Thrones", but hate taking an hour to go to the gym.  I'll watch hours of YouTube, but never have time to do laundry.  I want to make more use out of my time, so I can go to the gym and do housework.  This is so when my husband is home I can spend more time with him, feel more accomplished, and possibly start working more on my blog and YouTube channel so I can make this a second career.  (I don't care about making money at it, but it would be nice to make money on something I love to do!)

3. Stick to a Budget!:  I really want to start saving money.  I would love to be able to go with my husband on his work trips, or have a back up fund for emergencies.  I really want to know where our money is going, as well as to keep more money in the bank.

4. Don't Buy Anything Unless I'm replacing something or Getting Rid of Something: I have so much makeup/Beauty items etc.  I am going to start a project to finish up the items I have and cannot buy another until I need to.  For example I have 20 lotions, I'm not going to buy any more until I have used them up.  This also goes for food, clothes, movies etc.  I have so many things, and could easily save my money and use what we have.

Those are my four resolutions.  Each Week I will post one tip for each to try and accomplish.  I'll try to do weekly or monthly video updates on what I've accomplished and how I stand on each.  Stay tuned!!!
