I think if the list is long, we easily get overwhelmed by too many changes and wonder why we can't stick to anything.

I have decided...Those are great goals for the year! I have decided not to set any big goals for this year but rather will set some small quarterly goals and just review each quarter where my life is at and what feels doable. For Q1, my goals are to complete a round of Whole30 (hopefully starting that this week), stay off social media on the weekends and book a 2020 trip for our family. I think the 3x/week workout goal is a great one. If I didn't have the option to workout early in the morning and at lunch I wouldn't workout as much as I do. I also tend to never do workouts longer than 30 mins at home these days. Yesterday when I was doing my 20 min HIIT workout downstairs with Olivia she was jumping around and "doing" some of the moves with me, it was super cute! So hopefully Paul likes hanging out with you while you workout!

I can't wait to see the books you pick for the MMD book challenge!<br /><br />I set a yearly workout goal (150, which works out to about 3 times a week) because I know how easy it is for me to get down on myself if I go a week or two without hitting my workout goal. This way, I am able to "catch up" if I have a week or two where I don't work out. One of my friends approaches working out this way and is now working out 200+ times a year, which is so inspirational to me!Stephanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664500645286563334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-85656766435968066572020-01-02T19:32:06.463-06:002020-01-02T19:32:06.463-06:00For overall 2020 my goals are read 60 books, follo...For overall 2020 my goals are read 60 books, follow a cleaning schedule, get back to monthly m meal planning, and drink more water. I track in goodreads, I made a plan in my notebook I have been using as a list maker/planner, made a January plan (utilizing an old cookbook I hadn't used in awhile and I plan on busting out others this year too when we get in ruts), outlined February's, and made my January water check off.The Many Thoughts of a Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261949837343560602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-58153670014259048392020-01-01T07:58:53.911-06:002020-01-01T07:58:53.911-06:00Wonderful goals!

I do have a gym membership, but I find myself doing weights at home far more often than at the gym (if I do strength at the gym, I usually do balance work on a Bosu ball or use other equipment I don't have at home). One of the best purchases I made for home workouts was a $20 adjustable dumbbell set from WalMart! I use it all the time, and it really gives me flexibility when choosing what workout to do: I can do anything involving body weight only up to 36lb. I also have some mini-bands so that I can make body-weight only workouts a little more effective. Just some shopping ideas that may help!Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641028266038110278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-71088426319649355722019-12-31T09:45:15.941-06:002019-12-31T09:45:15.941-06:00That bullet journal is really cool!

I have random things written on random papers all over the darn place, and that makes it really annoying when I am trying to find what I am looking for. For instance, like you, I wanted to keep track of my top reads this year, although now I have to find the list of everything I've read ... wherever I put it ...<br /><br />I have gone through stages in my life where I haaaaad to work out 5 days a week, or every day for 30 minutes, or whatever, and it always felt like a chore to me. So now, I just try to move more, and more, and more each day, but with no rules. I often catch myself doing squats while cooking, or dancing up a storm for a half-hour straight if we put on the right music, haha! I am the kind of person who has a hard time working out just to work out, so I try to incorporate it into my day as much as possible and make it as fun as I can. <br /><br />The book challenge sounds fun! I just ordered four new books with gift cards I had for Indigo, and I got one book for Christmas, so I am so excited to dive into them.Jolene - EverydayFoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490816021651698189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-16138824184389103882019-12-30T19:51:27.188-06:002019-12-30T19:51:27.188-06:003x a week has been my mom workout routine as well....3x a week has been my mom workout routine as well. I’ve kept it up now for several years. Sure some weeks I can do more if I have a day off or something but for the average week it works well. I hope you will find it works for you! I think I started my 3 day a week routine when Max was about Paul’s age :) He did often hang out nearby during some and now most times Max is off somewhere but Jack likes to be around. He gets annoyed that I do fitness blender videos on mute lol.

My significant other wants to do a bike event and a rollerblade event, so I've started looking up training plans and the ones that are 4 or more workouts per week I know will never happen. Even without kiddos, life is busy. I want workouts to feel good, but not feel like more of a burden than a blessing. katielookingforwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02739640153974439332noreply@blogger.com
