GOALS.....

I have been reading Mix and Match Mama's blog here... http://www.shullfamily.blogspot.com/ for a while now and I LOVE it!!  She has really inspired me in so many ways.  One of the many things she does is making monthly goals for herself.  She writes down a few things every month that she wants to try hard to achieve.  So, I decided that it was time I start setting my own (realistic) goals. 

I love organization, but when it comes to setting goals, I have a really hard time following them.  But, no more!  I am going to start living the life I need to live and that includes setting monthly goals.  I think it holds me accountable for many reasons in this hectic, chaotic life of mine.

I may be a few days late on starting off for the whole month of July, but what's seven little days, right???  I wanted to start off with a few that are very important to me and I am really wanting to hold myself accountable for. 

Writing down my goals and looking at them everyday is going to be a great way to stay in check!  (Ignore my horrible penmanship!)

#1-I have really been missing the boat on my workout.  I was doing really well before the house stuff started, but then......well, you know!!  But, I had an epiphany after I was told something to the extent that I had the arms of a 60 year old......WOW!!!   That one really hurt!!!  So, I decided getting my fitness on was a MUST for July!!!  Did I mention that is was my "Mother in Law" that isn't really my Mother in Law that said that????  I know a lot of people look at me and say I am crazy for thinking I need to lose weight, BUT I really do.  Have you ever heard the term Skinny Fat???  Yep, that's me!!!

So, here are a couple people that I admire and helping me obtain my goal!

I mean seriously, Yolanda Foster is simply stunning!!  If she can look that good being older than me, than I KNOW I can do it!!

I love Tamra Judge!  She has a potty mouth, says what she wants and doesn't care what people think of her.  Wait....I know someone JUST like her!!  HA!!  Seriously, I love her because she is real and beautiful! 

Need I say anything???  Alexis has the PERFECT body and if mine could look half as good as hers than I would be ecstatic!! 

Kyle Richards is just classy!  Love her style, love her look, just love her!! 

#2-I would say for the most part that I really do eat healthy, but there are a lot of times when I eat pizza, enchiladas or burgers a little too much in some weeks.  So, I have decided that I will only eat those foods once a week.  This is going to be the challenge since we are selling our house and eating out way more than usual.  But, I can eat just as healthy at a restaurant as I can at home.  It just isn't as fun!  Must sacrifice for a killer beach body!!! 

#3-There are days during the week that I like to enjoy a glass or two of wine while watching TV with the Husband, but I know that drinking and the way you eat has an effect on weight and health.  So, I am only going to drink one time per week.  The weekends are going to be REALLY HARD since we pretty much go to nice dinners every single weekend!  I am going to really have to plan for this one!!!  And....if you have read my blog long enough, you know I need to drink to put up with some of this family of mine!!!  #lordhelpme!!!!

#4-The last one of my goals is actually one of the BEST and HARDEST goals I set for myself.  Why you ask???  Because if you know me, you know I am not one for walking away when I feel attacked!  But, I have also learned that people are who they are and some people just like to make idiotic comments to start a fight and I no longer want to give in.  I think this is going to be the most valuable of all my goals if I can achieve it.  I know I can do it though!  I will know that I walked away the better person!
