I hope everyone had a great time last night ringing in the new year. Hopefully you guys were able to celebrate and be safe. I had an awesome time hanging out with friends and playing some games. I still can't believe that 2014 is over. Is it just me or does the year seem that the older you get the faster the year goes by?
I spent the past few days cleaning things out around the house. I spent nearly two hours cleaning my bathroom over the weekend, not because it was THAT dirty but because as I clean throughout the year I don't really stop to take the time to DEEP clean things. I recently reached for something on top of my vanity that I hadn't used in a while and found a layer of dust on it. So that lead my to wiping down every item and surface in my bathroom. I like to think that I keep things pretty clean around my house but this was really necessary.
I also went through all my old files on my server and found about 1500 songs in a random music folder. That was really exciting. I found all my old music from my early 20's and it really sent me on a trip down memory lane. I think that I have a pretty eclectic taste when it comes to music and this folder just proved my point. I found everything from Cartel and BoyslikeGirls to Shania Twain and The Dixie Chicks. I also found Disturbed and The Spice Girls. I happily added all of those files to my iTunes library which led to me making a "January 2015" playlist earlier today. I tend to go through all my music at the beginning of each month and make a playlist that reflects what I'm into at that time. This one has 500 songs though because as I was going through everything I kept going "Oh, I love this song." I couldn't just NOT add those songs right?
Anyhoo... Let's get to the question of the day. This one really isn't a surprise considering that today is the start of a new year.
January 1st- What is your number one goal this year?
My number one goal this year to to stick to a diet and exercise regimen. I want to work out 4 times a week, whether that means heading outside and walking/running, or jumping on my treadmill or row machine inside. I have also recently found out about Blogilates on YouTube. I like that these videos are really positive and uplifting and they AREN'T repetitive. There is such a great selection between total body workouts and targeted areas. I also love that I don't need any extra equipment. I already have a yoga mat.
Annnnd... Currently I'm...
Reading- After by Anna Todd. It's a college aged romance novel. It's really long though. It's over 600 pages on my iPad. I'm about 90% of the way done though. There is a sequel that I intend to read once I'm finished called After We Collided.
Playing- Music in the background while I blog. I feel like this answer is the same every time I do one of these.
Watching- I started watching Pretty Little Liars on Netflix recently. It's pretty interesting but I feel a bit too old to be watching it. Hmmmm...
Listening to- My January 2015 playlist. Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farm at this exact moment.
Working on- This blog and hydrating myself. I've been pretty horrible about drinking water the past few days. I take a large Smart Water with me to work each day and every day this week I've brought home with me more than 70% full. Oops...
Eating- Nothing really. I was out shopping with Chris earlier today (yes, I'm crazy. I had no idea it would be so busy.) and we had Claim Jumper for Linner (lunch/dinner) on the way home.
Wanting- To get back into cooking for dinner. I totally slacked off this week. I don't think I've cooked once.
Needing- To plan a menu and make a shopping list so I don't have any excuse to slack off. I really enjoy cooking and I feel much better throughout the week if I'm eating home cooked meals versus crap/ fast food.
Loving- The way my hair has been lately. I recently started using a new hair regimen and I can tell the difference in my hair. I'm using Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Shampoo and Conditioner. I try to avoid washing my hair every day. After my hair is clean I use Bumble and Bumble Invisible Hairdresser's Oil Leave in Conditioner/ Primer. Then I add Bumble and Bumble Straight Blow Dry Cream from the bottom of my ears down. I blow dry my hair and then finish with a quick flat ironing. I'm using Not Your Mother's Dry Shampoo on the days I don't wash it. It's just been feeling really nice and healthy even though I'm having to heat style it more frequently than I would during the summer months. My mom always told me not to leave the house with wet hair during the colder months because that is the easiest way to get yourself sick.
Thinking- About what I'm going to do tomorrow. Chris is going dirt bike riding with some neighbors so I'll have the whole day to myself. What should I do?
Feeling- Tired. I was up until 3am and even though I slept in til' noon I'm still wanting to go to bed early. I can't stay up all hours like I used to. I'm getting too old for this stuff.
Celebrating- The beginning of this new year and all the possibilities it brings. Anything can happen... Hopefully God has great things in mind for me and Chris.
Grateful For- Music. Could you imagine how empty and depressing this world would be without music? Music speaks to my soul and makes it sing. Well sometimes it makes my mouth sing too... badly... I love music in all its forms. I'm so glad that I am fortunate enough to live in a place where we have the freedom to listen to whatever we want.
I was searching for a pin on Pinterest that sums up how I feel about music but I couldn't pick just one.
What is your number one goal this year? How are you going to accomplish it?
I hope you all are having a great week!
