I’m super happy to be here today. Why? Well, I’m just so thankful to be back to mostly 100% after the flu. Thank you, sweet friends, for showing up, reading and commenting. Last week was a wash to keep up and so I just didn’t. It’s about the balance of grace in life. Thank you for giving me grace if I didn’t respond to all the comments or make my way over to your blog. A new week and I hope to be more on track!
Today, I’m linking up with my friends at The Blended Blog and we’re sharing about a few goals in the realm of fashion, food, friendship and fitness goals. I’m adding my own flair to this list too.
My goals so to speak are not set in stone hard and fast for me. I’m just refocusing in the areas mentioned above and aiming in a direction where I want to venture during 2018.
Fashion ~ I’m just over trying to look like the best bloggers out there and buy the perfect pieces to create the best looks and of course have a capsule wardrobe to boot. Instead, I’m focusing on being Carrie and dress in the way that exudes me. I hope to be a better curator of clothing and purchase pieces that I love and work in ways that compliment my flavor of style. Currently, I basically happy with my closet but I’m looking forward to reworking a few areas to really be me and love what I wear. I’m excited about my style this year!
Food ~ If you read this post, then you are aware that my eating habits have already changed. Of course, I’ll eat real food that mostly fits into the organic an non-GMO category because that’s my norm. Something I really want to accomplish this year is to be a better cook and baker. I’m planning to take some cooking courses to help me that during 2018.
Friendship ~ More time with people, of course, is the plan for 2018. More coffee dates and simply being more intentional in my relationships. Sadly, I’ve neglected this a lot in recent years.
Fitness ~ Going into 2018, my plan was to start January with two a day workouts. One workout was for weights and next was going to be focused on cardio and interval training. Well, I can probably count on my fingers how many workouts that have actually happened so far this year. Sickness…it has taken me and my husband on a crazy ride this January. Then I got the wake-up call from the doctor and dietician about my health. Now, I’m trying to be more realistic. I still want to run a 5k or something like that in the competitive vein. I’m planning to add a little yoga and take a spin class here and there. I’ll still lift weights but I have to let the building big muscle goal sit on the bench for a while.
Faith ~ Since all the things in life really spark from my faith, that is the most important goal. Really, I am just trying to focus on being more consistent in reading and praying. I am trying to work on finding someone who will be my accountability partner too.
What are some of your goals or areas you plan to focus on during 2018? Let me hear you, friends!
Have a great day!
Be blessed! ~ Carrie
