A little late to the game but I do have a few resolutions for 2020.
- FINALLY FINISH LOSING THE WEIGHT!
- Actually be consistent in utilizing Duolingo to learn some awesome languages.
- Listen to the Bible through chronologically.
- Pay off as much debt as possible
1 is a no brainer. I have been trying to lose weight in some capacity since late 2013. I have seriously been trying to lose weight since August 2015 but I have severely slacked in the adherence for a while. It’s time to kick things into gear. I am giving myself monthly SMART goals to get me there. January started with just getting back to working out 6 days a week and hitting my calories and water each day.
2 every year for the last several I have wanted to learn Spanish and have severely slacked off. We are 2 weeks into the new year and so far I have used it every day.
3 I did this last year, listening to the Daily Audio Bible while on my morning walks, I have changed to the chronological version for this year.
4 We start every year off strong on this one and then we slack off toward the end of the year. 2019 was the year of me finally learning how to budget. I started using YNAB for ALL THINGS BUDGET and I started a debt free blog (www.letsgetdebtfree.com). I told Chelsea towards the end of December that I need 2020 to be a no spend year and while I was not entirely serious, I did implement some changes for this year (getting a month ahead on bills being one of them). I truly intend on us being debt free in 3 years or less and adhering to my debt free plan and limiting spending needs to be top priority.
After a hard year last year with my family I fully intend on this being the year of me. I’m going to be a little more selfish for my mental well being, writing here is one.
While I am not going to make this one of my resolutions I do fully intend to continue blogging into this year. I spent early this week rebuilding a couple of abandoned websites so I could blog on each respective website and I imported old posts I happened to have saved.
It’s the year of getting better and making progress!
