December Goals {recap}


this photo serves no real purpose, other than to remind me of warmer times, 
{why do I do this to myself}

At the beginning of the month I posted these goals for December. 
Here's how I did:

(1) Buy thoughtful Christmas gifts for my family and friends.

(2) Start replacing one of my 3 cups of coffee daily with decaf.  I gotta start weening myself off the juice.
I did about 50/50.  Small steps, right?

(3) Work Out.  Like, not just walking the dog -- but actually breaking a sweat. Preferably not at my desk.
Meh.  Kind of.  We got another dog, so I'm walking two now.  That counts. 

(4) Convince hubs to buy me an elliptical for Christmas.  I am so close.
Nope.  Didn't happen.  But I joined the gym a few weeks ago, and I'm incorporating that into my routine. Checking that off the list, anyway. 

(5) Volunteer once.

(6) Give to one more charity.

(7) Buy a cute pair of high boots.  I desperately need some. [I use the term "desperately" loosely]
Nope.  Didn't want to spend the monies. Bonus points?

(8) Find a cute dress for the hubs' fancy work party at the W Hotel [do you like my priorities?]
It was 80s themed.  And I think I did pretty good.

(9) Cook all meals at home -- except for date nights once a week.
Husband is the worst saboteur.  It's all his fault...

(10) Buy a plane ticket to visit my family in Florida.
Half done.  I swear. 

I did some of them.  Could we worse, eh?
What did you check off of your list in December?

Also, I can't believe 2012 is coming to a close. 
It has been one incredible year.  
I started this blog, got married, traveled, made our house a home,
formed new friendships - and did more than I ever thought possible.


Are you a resolutions person?  Did you keep (or exceed) yours for 2012?
Will you make a list for 2013?

  2. I'm a resolution person :) I do monthly goals too! Seems easier to convince myself to try something for 30 days than for 365... haha

  3. I don't make lists anymore... I used to but I had myself doing way too much and never relaxing... Maybe I could start out with a small list... lol

    Happy New Year Jess... have an amazing year:)

  4. Resolutions, I kinda suck at but I like doing little mini goals. It makes it seem more attainable to me.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me some love! They make my face and my heart smile. I respond to most of my comments via email, if at all possible. :)
