January Goals [2018]

Although it still doesn't seem real, 2018 really is here to stay.

I feel like January doesn't really get a lot of love-no major holidays, blah weather, and a lot of people still have a holiday hangover.

But January is also a new beginning and a fresh start, it's the perfect time for goals!

I don't really do resolutions or yearly goals, I just find them too hard to keep-so I'll stick to my monthly goals.

Let's look at December's goals & see how I did. . .

Get the House in Shape for our Christmas Party

Check! I actually did this twice because the first time I had cleaned everything up & gotten ready to host the party, we had a snow weekend in Alabama.

We ended up doing it the last Thursday in December and had a blast...and my house was really clean!

Finish my Current Book

This is another checkmark too, I finished that book & started a new one (I'm halfway done!) so I should be having a new book review up soon.

Try Out my New Elliptical

I wanted to use my elliptical at least twice a week & that just didn't happen.

Between holiday get-togethers and just the busyness of the season, I only worked out a few times.

Reach 1,000 on Instagram

This is one goal I was actually able to accomplish well before the new year!

I am currently at about 1,030 and I'm so glad to be growing one of my favorite platforms.

For January's Goals. . .

Redecorate Our Home

I'm not planning a major reno or anything, but after I took down all of our Christmas decor, I basically just left our house blank. It's been sort of refreshing, but now I'm ready to get back out some of my decor pieces & put out some new things I've purchased as well.

Use my Elliptical Twice Per Week

'Tis the season for fitness motivation, am I right?

I don't want to do anything crazy, but I would love to put in at least two elliptical workouts per week-I think it would make me feel a lot better.

Reach 1,100 on Instagram

It's a small increase for this months goal, but I love that my Insta following is very organic and is people that actually want to interact and enjoy following me.

I'm all for slow & steady as long as it's still growth.

Have a Fun Night Out with my Biggest Big Sister

We have a night planned out in Atlanta and I'm so excited about it-I'll share more about it after the fact with y'all.

Create a "Day-in-the-Life" Blog Post

I've wanted to do this one for a long time, but always forget halfway through the day or I don't do anything interesting.

No matter what, I want to do this because I was just thinking the other day how I wanted to remember this season in my life.

So those are my goals for the month of January, let me know below what one of your goals are for January or for 2018!

Until next time. . .
