Goals [2017] #knowingyourselfchallenge

Goals.
I've always been really bad at setting goals.

I think I am getting a bit better in the short time that I have been using my passion planner.

So.
My Goals for 2017.

- Get healthy again
- Get my own place in Canada
- Go back to school
- Reconnect with my Canadian family

Short and sweet.
But this is what I want to accomplish this year.
I think getting my own place and going to school is going to be the biggest challenge.

I know I can do it!

New Start #knowingyourselfchallenge

I've always been afraid to branch out and start over.
But that is exactly what I am doing!
Still makes me a bit nervous.

Plans for a Healthier Self

As I was looking through some old blog posts, I came across this one from February of 2014.
Which, made me kind of giggle.
Why?
I was desperately trying to get to 135 pounds.
Why 135?
I have no idea.
I ended up getting pregnant that summer and gaining 50 pounds.


Overall, I weigh 10 pounds less than I did this time last year.
So ...  that's a plus.

I can never seem to get my fitness and nutrition to line up.


Starting today, I WILL strive to be healthier.
I WILL take better care of myself.

I do not plan of giving up my diet coke though.
Just cutting back. I need my carbonation.
Everything in moderation, right?!

So my plan?
-Eat 1461 calories a day, based on Scooby's Calorie Calculator.
-Track said calories using MyFitnessPal.
-Exercise at least three days a week. My current plan is Strong Lifts 5x5. They even have an app for your phone. Which is awesome. Means no having to keep up with weights and reps.
-Eat fruit and/or veggies at least twice a day.
-Try to get to where I only have two carbonated beverages a day.
-No more than two pizza nights a week. One is ideal, but having a kiddo with SPD, I have a lot of pizza around.
