January Goals

I thought it would be beneficial for me to set goals for myself each month in hopes of accomplishing them, but also to take responsibility for the things I want in my life instead of constantly putting things off.

At this point, I feel like it's go time. 

Time to start getting things together, acting like an adult and making things happen.

THIS IS THE YEAR TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN PEOPLE.

I'll do an update in my tabs at the top of my blog, but also a post at the end of the month so y'all can hold me accountable. :)

1. Make an appointment with a mortgage broker.

We want to discuss where we're at & what things we need to do, so we can start looking at buying a home by the end of the year.

2. Begin eating healthy & setting up a workout plan.

Obviously, I need to get in shape for our wedding.

And really, I think it's time I just get in shape period.

It's time to start loving myself & having confidence.

[I'm considering doing a weekly update on my exercise/eating habits for the week. Thinking about. I want to be held accountable. We'll see.]

3. Pick out a cake design & attend our cake tasting to make a final decision. [January 12th is our appointment]

4. Order our wedding invitations.

I can work on addressing them in February & sending them out at the beginning of March.

5. Save. Save. Save. 

Cody & I have started the 52-week savings plan.

I already save money monthly, but there's not much consistency sometimes with the amount. Now we have a reminder on our fridge.

6. Order Cody's wedding band.

Cody won't be wearing it for the first year of our marriage.

He will be wearing his late grandfather's wedding band that his dad also wore for the first few years of his marriage. But Cody wants his wedding band for our wedding pictures, which I think is a sweet idea.

7. Meal plan.

I spend way too much money at the grocery store.

And half the time, we buy things that we don't eat.

I'm going to be buying a lot more cheap, but healthy meals.

And I think the crockpot will become my new best friend.

8. Go to bed early.

During the month of December, I started a bad habit of going to bed around 11 - sometimes later. I just can't do that. I don't wake up on time. I don't feel like working out. I get way to grouchy. I need my sleep. 4:30 comes early y'all.

9. Use my planner.

Turns out I didn't get the planner I originally bought at Target.

[Target planner story here.] 

They sold it to someone else. Grrr.

But I did get another cute one, and I want to put this to use.

I keep everything in my head, and I get overwhelmed so easily. NO MORE!

10. Order bridesmaid dresses.

Two have paid for them, so I just have to get one more in there for ordering.

11.Book our honeymoon by the end of the month.

At least make the down payment to book it. We're thinking cruise. It's cheap and we get to visit more than one place. I like both of those things.

12. Register.

I'm going to set a date, probably a Saturday or Sunday, where we go register at our stores.

Target definitely made the cut. :)

It's a lot for a month.

But I really think these are attainable.

 Wish me luck y'all. :)
