2014 Monthly Goals

Every year I set new year resolutions that I fully intend on following.  Every year I find myself bummed I do not succeed as well as I would have liked.  Last year I set 5 important resolutions:
1. Menu plan
2. More family activities that involve more moving.
3. Setting a schedule for my life so I dont miss important things I need to get done.
4. Accepting help and guidance from others
5. Tuning out negativity from others about my journey.

Overall I did VERY well!  I have menu planned all year although I have not been as consistent as I would like to be, we have been eating out at least 3 times a month :(  We have been doing more family fun days but they have slowly tapered off as the school year started again.  I would love to say we are just so busy with school and activities but really we have just been slacking 6 months out >.< My 3rd point is probably the least successful of them all....I have no schedule still.  I tried very hard a few months in but found myself getting lazy days here and there and finally started skipping scheduling at all.  I have found amazing people since starting my Facebook page Kat's losing it and this blog.  I love having accountability partners and sharing my struggles and successes :) My 5th point is and will probably always be a struggle for me.  I just can not get over my people pleasing and taking every comment to heart! I am trying very hard to continue to treat others kindly no matter how they treat me but I still find my mind saying "no screw them" lol.

This year I decided I would make monthly goals instead of resolutions.  Goals that are attainable for me to be successful with. They say it takes 21 days to create a habit, if that is true if I make my monthly goals and continue them over the course of the year my ultimate goal of loosing 130 lbs should be much closer.  So here are my small monthly goals for 2014:

January: Meet my 10,000 steps a day on my Fitbit.
February: Get up at 5 am on Weekdays and 7 am on Sundays
March: Start a workout tip jar $1.00 for every 60 minutes
April: Get in 60-80 grams of protein and only 2 servings of carbohydrates a day

June: Take the kids to the park to walk/ride bikes twice a week
July: No eating out all month!
August: Cook meatless Mondays
September: Complete the Warrior Dash!
October: Climb to the very top of the rock wall
