Resolutions, shmezolutions...

I am the worst at New Year's resolutions. The literal worst. I some half-hearted statement about "this year is THE year". But, the year for what? And whatever it was is usually forgotten by the end of the first week. For me resolutions=magically attaining whatever I only sort of want.

This year, I threw out the idea of a resolution. This year, I have GOALS. Goals have a start point, a list of steps, and an end result. There's no magic in that. Only hard work and determination. I don't feel like halfway doing things in my life anymore. If I'm going to do something, I'm going to DO it.



Here are my list of goals and a few of the steps I'm going to take to reach them.

• Better Self Care
• I'm going to stop feeding myself junk food. My body is a dang temple that deserves healthy food.
• I'm going to push myself physically and then I'm going to rest when I need it.
• I am going to set myself up for success with meals by buying healthy foods.
• I am going to have days where I just veg and read, sometimes I need to just go inside my head and that's okay. It is NOT selfish.
• I am going to practice affirmations.

• Moving Up Ranks in My Thrive Business
• I'm going to build new relationships.
• I am going to help people improve their lives by taking control of their wellness
• I am going to help my team in any way I can
• I am reading books on Network Marketing

• Move My Body
• I am going to do some sort of physical activity every day. My preferred mode is yoga but if it ends up a dance party in the kitchen while I cook dinner, I'm going to be happy for the movement.
• I am going to hit 10k steps 4x a week. I have a feeling I'll be doing lots of laps around the house! HA!

• Keep Up with My Bujo
• Oh my gosh, this one is easy because I love doing it. Checking off color coded boxes just makes my heart happy. 
• I will set up my day the night before so that I know what is coming up and what needs to be done. I'm thinking that this will make more effective use of my time.
  
  
  
  
• Knit More!
• I have so many knitting projects that I want to make this year. My plan is to finish at least one a month!

Hello!

Hey all, I'm Allison! I've been married to the most amazing huz ever for 8 years, together for 13 total. We have 2 boys, ages 6 and 4 and a huge dog named Fawn. I work from home as a Brand Promoter for Le-Vel Thrive, I knit as often as I can sit down, and I love to try new recipes. I am also helping build a PTA for the new elementary school in the area and am the President.

Big P is an incredible artist and engineer. He loves drawing pictures of robots and then building them with legos or linking toys. It's amazing to watch his mind work. He's a Star Wars nerd just like the huz and he loves watching Minecraft tutorials.

Little C is hilarious and scrappy. He's small for his age but boy does his personality make up for it! Shy at first, but once he is comfortable, he's a total ham. He loves Mickey Mouse and Big Hero. He also loves to make up songs about whatever he might be doing.

The huz is a chef at a swanky retirement community, he absolutely loves his work. He gets to create fine dining food for people who really appreciate it. He loves all things history and Star Wars. He hates sports. (I LOVE this about him) Our football is watching DVR'ed episodes of Chopped on the weekend.

Like I said earlier, I'm a brand promoter for Le-Vel Thrive. It's an amazing wellness program that is done in 3 simple steps in the first half hour or so of your day! It's a total game changer.

I knit for fun, I started when Little C was an infant, I had just had major surgery and was down for 10 weeks. I needed something to keep me entertained, I picked up a set of needles and some yarn and I haven't quit yet!

I'm a bit of a nut for pinterest, I love finding new recipes! The huz gets to try them out on his days off. He enjoys this thoroughly.

I got involved with PTA at the beginning of this year when I asked who to talk with about joining. I was told there wasn't anyone, so I decided that I had some time and that I'd take it on. So far, it's been really interesting learning the history of the PTA and how they have been integral in advocating for children for over 100 years! I'll be sharing my hits and misses with starting up and getting running.
