I am currently participating in a Piyo Challenge group. This is a way that I can be accountable and be with others who are doing the same thing, motivating me and others, and just doing it with other people! Every day we have "challenges" ways to motivate and stay active...today's challenge is my inspiration for this post! :) I posted this on my facebook already--but I felt compelled to elaborate on each of my goals! Now, there are more goals--but these are the most forefront in my mind. Here is the picture:
And here is the ellaboration!
1) Loose weight. This is pretty self explanitory--however, I feel the need to say that I need to loose a LOT of weight. Far more than I want to admit. Through healthier eating, exercise, and general weight concious decisions I hope to slowly but surely loose the weight and get down to my "feel good" weight of 140. At this weight I feel thin, happy, and healthy. It's a weight I can maintain without feeling deprived or that I have to work extra hard to maintain. Now to get down to it!
2) Get debt free! Definitely a dream/goal for Justin and I. We have a SUBSTANTIAL amount of student loans and a chunk of credit card debt. Slowly but surely we are working towards this!
3) CONFIDENTLY run 13.1--I have ran 13.1 before, however it was anything but fabulous. It was miserable honestly. If my dad wasn't there pushing me through--I dont' know that I would have made it to the finish line! Seriously! My goal is to train hard and run confidently through a 1/2 marathon!
4) Take an anniversary trip. I would love to take a long trip for our 10 year anniversary--it's in 2016 so we have plenty of time to plan it--but I want it to be in a beautiful place where we can relax and enjoy WITHOUT the kids!
5) Get my snowflake/family tattoo! This really has a double meaning. I want to complete our family circle--whatever that may mean for us. And I also do want to get my snowflake/infinity symbol tattoo. It will have 3 snowflakes for the kiddo's and an infinity symbol. Some mish-mash of that anyway.
6) Add a (bed)room or 2 in the basement! This is a dream. We would love to add at least 1 bedroom downstairs. and Justin and I do plan on doing this--but at this point--it's just a dream. Hopefully debt free and bedrooms in the basement will come sooner than later! For right now--we are just fine--but as the boys get older it will be nice for them to have a bit more space!
7) Take a family vacation! We take lots of family trips--and lots of trips with our parents. However, I would LOVE to take a vacation with just us as a family. Maybe Disney, maybe the ocean, maybe Texas. Who knows--but it's definitely a dream/goal! :)
Yep..that's the jist! :) I hope you have enjoyed reading about my dreams/goals for the future! We shall see what the future has in store for us!
