So it's been more than a month since I started blogging everyday and since I made these resolutions; perhaps I should check in and report on how it's going.
Personal
1. Be more "girl"y, i.e. wear makeup, do my hair, etc. - I am still fighting the sickness of 2013. I have worn makeup more than this year already than I have since my daughter was born, but I could still do better. This is a daily struggle since putting on makeup sometimes is a fight in my head because ultimately you just wash it off at the end of the day.
2. Blog everyday. - I am now in a pattern with this. It's no longer a struggle of *if* I should write, but more *what* I should write which is a good switch.
3. Go on more dates with my husband. - I have some things planned, but no updates as of yet.
Home
1. Do 52 "Pinterest" projects for the year. -No new Pinterest projects since the last update. I have done 3 out of 52. This needs work.
2. Stock freezer with prepared meals once per month. - We cooked a chicken spaghetti that was added to the fridge and my husband charred some chiles that we use all throughout the year. I really need to work on this.
3. Create a monthly budget and stick to it. - Judge all you want, but we are one of those families that would rather have less money throughout the year to get a bigger tax return in February. I get my work bonus at the same time and it seems like we accomplish more this way than little bits throughout the year. I am hoping that this will push us back into a good money zone. We aren't struggling right now or anything but we are not doing awesome.
4. Save more money every month. - See above. I moved money into our savings this month. Was it as much as I would have liked? no.
5. Do 52 acts of preparedness. - I have not purchased anything from the list or done anything on this list. This is horrible and I resolve to work on this.
Health
1. Stop drinking sodas. Since December 31, 2012, I have had the equivalent of less than one soda. I have had sips here or there with awful headaches but nothing except diet and probably less than half of a can.
2. Do some form of exercise 5 days per week. - Let's not speak about the fact that I have failed completely on this one. I will get better.
Overall this is NOT a good update. Except for the blogging and the soda it has been awful. It has to get better.
