Alright, you probably cant tell that well in the picture but I taught myself how to do the fish tail braid. Yes, I am sure manyyyy people can already do this, but I never took the time to learn! It really wasn't too bad! I still want to learn other braids, but this was a good start!
When I was in Dallas, Joe and I had a lot of great conversations, as always. We can talk about anything and everything, so he was the perfect person to complete this goal for the year. Even if you know someone really well, there is always something new to learn! Some questions I remember us asking were, what super power would you choose, if you got another tattoo what would it be, if you died tomorrow what would you do today, whats your biggest fear, your biggest goal, etc... it was fun to ask silly and serious questions, and we both learned a lot about each other!
10. Monthly Fitness Challenge
I got all the way to 40 pushups, with no girl pushups the whole month! I may have missed some of the days over the weekends, but then I would do two sets on Monday. So yea, not perfect, but I made it through each day and got to 40! I need to keep doing this because pushups are truly such a good workout. Back to basics y'all! (can ya tell I was just in Texas?)
13. Bake something every month
I baked these for Joe for Valentines Day because he loved them over Christmas. These rae not mine as I forgot to take a picture, but i used waffle pretzels, with a combination of hershey kisses, reese cups, peanut m&m's and peanut butter m&m's. They were all pink for V-Day :)
Well, yes this month was busy but I followed my budget, read my devo every morning-for the most part as I missed some days on the weekends, I sent an encouraging text each day, and did my daily stretches. After this month, I realized it is so easy to fall out of a routine and soooo hard to get back into one! I am the type of person that needs a routine or else I will drift off course. Getting back from vaca has been harder than I thought with trying to get back into my routine. I feel like you need a vacation from your vacation, as I felt exhausted the first few days after getting back. Well, now its time to get down to business and remember why I started this journey this year. I want to live a fulfilling life! I want to make some progress and profound transformation. I do not want to let another year go by without accomplishing my goals. Sometimes that means hard work and time dedicated to that. I can't keep sitting back and watching days go by without accomplishing anything and saying "I'll do that tomorrow".
I had a nice vacation, but now I am back in reality and I need to remember what I read in Compound Effect, about setting a routine and replacing bad habits with new, rewarding habits. So I am going to go do some yoga right now and refocus my mind and energy into something positive. I will envision my life and the direction that I want to go in. :)
