...2014: YOUR YEAR...

Tuesday, January 14, 2014

I know that i am a few weeks late 

buuuuutttt

Happy 2014!

Each year people always ask "What are your New Years Resolutions?"

And to be honest i say that i do not have any!!

Each month i will make monthly goals that i would like to achieve.

Being a personal trainer i have learned that making all long term goals makes it hard for people to actually accomplish. 

YES: I do have year long goals BUT i also have monthly goals that i would like

to achieve.  My monthly goals help me to lead up to my yearly goals.

I am a very goal oriented person and i am always striving to reach the next level. I want to always push and challenge myself in all aspects of my life no matter what it is.

So my suggestion: Make a lot of mini goals.  Start with goals for today or even this week.  Once you can get those done work towards making monthly goals and then you can create a realistic yearly goals. 

Setting goals is all about making realistic goals.  Why set goals that you know you will not accomplish?  That sets you up to be discouraged and upset.  It is a vicious cycle that a lot of people are caught up in.

Happy Wednesday guys!

I hope that you all are having a productive week!
I feel like this week is going by SO SLOW!!!!

*sigh* 

Oh well...because in just a few days i will be leaving to go to Chicago to GO TO A LAKERS GAME!!!
I got some tickets for my birthday so i CAN NOT WAIT!!! :-)

Who got to watch the BCS Championship!?!?

Can you tell which team i was rooting for?

The past few weeks have been MISERABLE at the gym!

My regular gym time is shown below...

We call theses people the New-Years Newbies

The gym is PACKED (as you can see EVERY machine is taken :-/)

But as the weeks go on the amount of people slowly start to trickle away

I am all for people getting health and getting fit...i just do not like having to rearrange my gym schedule!

But its OK! I actually enjoy my new time because now Mr. Awesome gets to come to the gym with me :-)

This is a Throw Back pic...yes that is young Stephanie...i feel like i still look exactly the same!! LoL

I am one of eight kids (only 6 of us in the pic)

I must say that i LOVE having a big family and hope that one day i will be able to have a handful of kids just like my parents did

For those of you who do not already know...i am somewhat of a shoe connoisseur! 

And Mr. Awesome is amazing for still hooking me up with shoes that i like :-)

He got me these for xmas! Was so excited because i have wanted a pair for some time now but never got any (because i recently started investing in MORE athletic shoes/clothes instead of stylish shoes/clothes)

and last but not least...the Love of my Life (other than Mr. Awesome)

Blogger Family...Meet Calliope (pron.: /kəˈlaɪ.əpi) 

a.k.a. Callie for short

She is my baby (my current pride and joy)

Got her brand new a few years ago (with only 7 miles on her!) 

and i have decided to spoil her recently (DELUXE car wash and soon to be detailed and deep cleaned plus window tenting!)

Been saving up for a while to do these things (because it was a luxury not a necessity so i saved like $20 a month and not it is time!)
