2018 Scorecard + 2019 Resolutions
There are few things I love more than making lists, and one of those few things I love more than making lists is checking off those lists. And let's just say your girl has earned some checkmarks this year! I didn't stick to all of my new year's resolutions, but I like to think I did pretty well.
A recap:
Figure out my allergies and work harder at managing them.
Ok, so Whole30 did not teach me anything about my allergies that I didn't already know. Unfortunately, I am very allergic to dogs, and cutting legumes/dairy/sugar/wheat/fun out of my diet did not change that. With that said, we had two big dogs move in with us this year, and I have had very few allergic reactions to them, so the universe must have decided to throw me a bone. (And then I gave that bone to the dogs as a thank-you for not making me sneezy. 😁) I'm going to give myself a half-check for this one.
Get into a regular workout routine.
Oh, hey. What's this? A boatload of check marks? Don't mind if I do! ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️ A checkmark for every month of the year that I managed to stick to a routine. Finally! I was able to get myself back into it in July, and I'm happy I've been able to keep it up! Some day soon, I will write a blog post about my struggles at the gym.
Make a conscious effort to spend less time looking at a screen when I’m not at work.
Not sure I earn a checkmark on this one. Candy Crush found me.
Eliminate my credit card debt. (Oops, that was one of last year’s resolutions too.)
You know how Michael Scott said, "Every year that Pam and Roy don't get married, it gets funnier?" Well, that wasn't true, and it isn't true here either. Let's try again in 2019!
Keep writing. And write more.
I didn't hit my goal of one blog post per week, but I did blog more this year than I did in 2017. I also find myself writing more for work, which is fantastic. I'm going to go ahead and put this one in the W column.
So, I guess my new year's resolutions for 2019 are: 1) keep working out, 2) stop playing Candy Crush, 3) PAY OFF YOUR DAMN CREDIT CARDS, 4) keep writing, 5) buy a golf cart.
It's been real, 2018. On to 2019!
