Feb 20 – No fast food. By “fast food” I mean McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, Burger King… This does not include restaurants such as Subway, Panera, Pei Wei, and Qdoba.
Feb 27 – Give up soda
March 5 – Let’s try another fitness week – Dance two times a week; workout two additional times.
Well, I kicked the “no fast food” thing in the a$$. My cousin offered to get me a McFlurry (I wanted ice cream SO badly) on her way over to my house and I declined! I feel REALLY proud of myself. This is not to say I ate super healthy all week, but I didn’t allow a drop of fast food into my body. It was actually A LOT easier than I thought it would be. I’m going to attempt to keep the fast food to a minimum (there have been weeks when I’ve been eating some form of fast food at least once a day – Gross!).
This week – No soda! In addition, I’m going to resolve to do the following: print organizational chart so I can start adjusting it to my own needs; start a deep clean of the house; and get at least half of the Thank You Notes for the gifts from the shower out.
Not drinking soda is actually really difficult for me. It’s not so much the caffeine I crave (I can get that from coffee/tea) but the bubbles. We have a SodaStream, so I’m going to see if I can get myself to enjoy plain fizzy water and/or see if I can find a way to flavor it that I like (I tried mixing in some Vitamin Water, but it had an off taste to it).
Any suggestions for fun/different resolutions for the coming weeks?

Almost forgot to post!
I realize I’m half way through the week and still haven’t posted!
Feb 13 – Create and start organization schedule (using calendar pinned on Pinterest as a guide)

Feb 27 – Give up soda
First off, last week was a fail. I never did get around to printing off the guide I was going to use. This is still something I want to do, so I’ll continue to keep it in the forefront of my mind. I WAS productive in the wedding planning business.
This week is “No Fast Food” week. So far, so good. Today I didn’t bring my lunch so I headed over to Panera for half a sandwich and a cup of soup. Normally, I’d drive through a fast food joint to pick something up, but I’m sticking to this “No Fast Food” week! It’s actually one of the first resolutions/goals that I’ve made a point of telling other people about.
Next week – No soda! This does not mean I’m giving up sparkling beverages though. We received a SodaStream recently so I will be carbonating water and adding juice to flavor it. I’m pretty excited about the different flavor combinations I can play with and still remain off soda.

Another week, Another Goal
This past week was another one of those partly successful but mostly unsuccessful weeks. I was able to add things to my routine (taking a nightly vitamin for instance) but didn’t manage to create a routine that I was successful in fully completing every night. I’ll keep working on it!
This week is about starting a program that will allow me to stay on top of the cleaning and organization issues in my house. Some things that I want to do as far as organizing I want to wait until after the wedding (we registered for a few things that will be helpful in organizing). There is absolutely NO reason I can’t start clearing unneeded things out of the house now though! If you’re interested in the calendar I’m going to adjust for my own use, here it is: http://www.mysimplerlife.com/2012.htm

Welcome to the Sixth Week of the Year!
Apparently, sticking to a fitness goal is going to be the TOUGHEST thing I do this year. I half succeeded, half failed. I worked out Monday (and went to dance on Thursday and Saturday) but I did not get a gym workout in this past week. I paid for a year membership at the local Planet Fitness and really don’t want to let all my money go to waste. My cousin is back in town now, though, so maybe we can motivate each other to go!
This week is about routine:
Feb 6 – Create nightly routine to include taking vitamins daily and nightly yoga/stretching
Feb 13 – Create and start organization schedule (using calendar pinned on Pinterest as a guide)
I’m aiming to come up with a quick 10-15 minute routine that will help me relax before bed and contribute to my overall health/appearance. Some things I do already every night (floss and brush my teeth, wash my face, take out my contacts), but there are other things I’d like to include (drinking a glass of water before bed, taking a daily vitamin, stretching/yoga). I’m hoping if I find just the right order for these events and can compact them into a 10-15 minute routine, eventually they will be second nature and I’ll do them no matter how tired I am!
