Can you believe that there’s only about 2 months left in 2016? This year started with travelling up to Michigan so Braden could attend his final 10 weeks of classes as a DPT student. In March, we moved in with the in-laws while he did his internships and searched for a job. Here we are almost 8 months later and we’re just about ready to move into our first home in Maryland! With less than 3 weeks til moving day, we’ve got a lot of sorting and packing to do.
We’re excited to be moving closer to his work and all our favorite date spots and I can’t wait to live less that 10 minutes from TWO different Targets! I’m looking forward to have my own kitchen again! It’s going to be easier to meal plan and eat more meals at home once we’re in our own space. It’s also going to be funny to see my Shadow baby roam more space than just our bedroom. Speaking of… it’s going to be amazing to get her litter box out of our room!
I gave her a bath today and she didn’t love it. Poor girl. I had to blow dry her because the house was too cold and she was shivering. She didn’t like that either but she forgave me after I gave her a few treats and a good brushing.
There’s about 9.5 weeks left in 2016 and I’m determined to accomplish a lot during these last few weeks.
I’d like to try and start running again and just get back into fitness. I was really struggling with being sick and in pain for a few weeks which really threw me off of my fitness plan. The place we’re going to be moving into has a small fitness center and there are a lot of trails in the area as well. I also want to pick up yoga and Zumba again.
I’m currently sitting at exactly 180 pounds and I really like the goal of being 170 or under by Christmas. It’s hard to lose weight at this time of year because Thanksgiving, Christmas parties and all of the amazing fall treats but I’m determined to lose instead of gain.
Here are the things I’m going to be working on for these last 2 months of 2016.
- Lose weight and focus on health.
- Drink water: other drinks are a treat (this is hard for me)
- Fitbit: take 10,000 steps daily.
- Pick up swimming, running, yoga, and zumba again!
- Focus on veggies, grains, and legumes. Less processed food, more meal planning.
- Continue growing business + blog more.
- Set up new home and decorate on a budget (DIY, using what I already have, budget shopping).
- Home-make most Christmas presents.
I really want to be fully set up and moved into our new home by Thanksgiving break when my sister comes home so we can decorate for Christmas! My favorite time of year! I found these adorable mini cookie cutters for $1.49 at Target today. You can tell I was also testing out nail polish colors…
Since I love Christmastime so much, I’ve been planning out a series of blogs to present as my 25 days of Christmas! Subscribe via email or Bloglovin’ so you don’t miss out when that starts up.
What are your goals for the end of 2016?
