I felt it would be easier if I broke my goals down into categories. I’m sure my goals will change as the year progresses and I’ll update as those changes happen. *

Goals completed will have a line through it

PERSONAL

Establish a nightly skin care routune.

Get back into blogging. Ive been blogging off and on for the last 20 years. Writing has been something I’ve always loved doing; whether anyone reads my blog posts or not.

Go on adventures (alone) 2-3 times per month. Hiking and camping is one of my absolute favorite things to do. I would love to start something that would encourage others to join in.

Read 1-2 books per month.

Learn more about my culture and history; especially here in my hometown. African American Heritage. National Museum of African American Culture and History.

Travel to meet some of the most kick-ass women I’ve come to know.

Therapy sessions 1 x’s per week.

Continue to set boundaries. The Importance of Setting Personal Boundaries

Keep my A1c within normal range. Understanding A1c. American Diabetes Association

Work towards eating non-gluten foods. Gluten does a number on me and having hypothyrodism probably doesnt help matters. Hypothyroid Mom provides so much information about hypothyroid.

Workout 3-4x’s per week; cardio, yoga and strength training. I’m currently using the FitOn app. It’s not completely free.

In bed by 9:30 on weekdays and Sundays. My goal is to start getting up at 6am so I can go workout. Going to bed early, in the past, helped with getting up so early.
