So tell me, how was your 2014? Are you a better person today than you were 365 days ago? I definitely feel like I am!!
Last year I set 14 goals... Today I'm confident I hit 5 and I know I made a respectable effort on an additional 5... I'd say progress in 10 of 14 areas the first year I set goals like this is something to feel great about AND gives me room for improvement in 2015!
Time for me to start writing my new goals, but before I get into that here's a summary of last year:
- 14 date nights with Mike love that man!
- 14 workouts with Mike (no, not that kind...) We were going to the gym together off and on all year.. A valuable effort to keep up with in the future :)
- 14 loop walks with Mike Thank you puppy!
- 14 creations (art / paint / sketch / flowers / videos / crafts / etc.) 2013 was such a creative year with all our wedding stuff I was really hoping to carry that over into 2014 but I didn't quite hit this goal. I did create our 2013 BYE book and a photo book for mom for Christmas. I made a shadow box with memories from our cruise. I tried to get creative with some of the Coke bottles we had collected, and I did redecorate our built-in in our living room. And for Alyssa's shower I put together a tub of wines for different milestones - at the shower we painted cherry blossoms and also decorated wine glasses - plus for the wedding I made a video of pictures of John and Alyssa growing up.
- 14 new-to-me recipes I think I'll have to make it a goal to blog any new recipes in 2015.. I know we made some good stuff this year.. just didn't keep track!
- 14 new-to-me beers Do I get credit here even if I didn't keep track of everything? :) Between our beer of the month club and Taco Mac I'm confident I hit this one.
- 14 new-to-me movies I know I hit this one! Netflix plus our flights to and from Europe plus TV.. Win!!
- 14 industry webinars (attend and write about here in the blog) I don't know if I even attended one of these this year! I'll have to find a new means of professional development for 2015!
- 14 articles (read and write about here in the blog) Here is one that I lacked in motivation - lots to read this year but I did not do much to hone my writing skills. Thinking I will need a twist on goals 8 and 9 (and 4) to make progress in 2015.
- 14 jump rope workouts per month I never successfully worked this one into my workout lifestyle
- 14 stretching workouts per month I believe I worked towards this one every month but never found the consistency I need. I want to keep this as a focus in 2015 for sure!!
- 14 fitness "challenges" I did not keep great track of this one! I know I did a bunch of stuff and fitness was an overall huge focus for the year, will work on better tracking in 2015!
- 14 language lessons a month on Duolingo I totally lost interest in this, even with a vacation in Europe! Thinking I may need to recruit a buddy if I want to do this for real.. Hmm...
- 14 random acts of kindness (I'll need to search for ideas so they'd won't be entirely random) Something to work on in 2015 I think... wonder how I could get started with this...
