It's the End of the World as We Know It...

Are you singing the song??? I feel like I always get songs stuck in my head and those songs always become the theme songs of my day and my life. I just listened to the lyrics of that song though, and basically the only part of that song that actually fits what I'm feeling right now is the chorus.
Anyway, 2017 is here! Happy New Year!
It IS the end of the world as we know it, but only if we choose to change and to become something better and something new. Change is inevitable, for the most part, but we can choose to have a lot of control by making positive changes in our lives. As I've read some of my friend's New Year's Resolutions, I'd like to share some of mine as well.

Health is one of my biggest goals in my life. I feel like it's what I've struggled the most with:
-Eat a planned dinner at home at least 6 days a week
-Don't buy junk food (if I don't have it in the home, it's much easier to avoid)
-Drink around 3 liters of water a day
-Use measuring tape to measure my muscle growth and don't rely on the scale
-Increase amount of weight I can lift
-Work out 3-5 times a week for at least a half hour
-Always eat breakfast
-Find a doable FREE workout challenge and DO IT!

Spiritual:
-Read every monthly Ensign magazine cover to cover
-Have Family Home Evening every Monday
-Read my scriptures every day
-Say a morning and bedtime prayer every day
-Read the entire Book of Mormon in a year together as a family

Mind:
-Read at least one book a month
-I want to learn Spanish!
-Do an hour of writing a week (blogs, books, journal....)


A lot of these are goals I'm already working on, but I feel it's important to list them out as a reminder. I know there are a lot of goals, but with dedication I feel I can really do all of this.

I can't believe it's 2017 already. Where does the time go?! Already practically half our year is planned out with new fun adventures: Visiting friends and family, a trip to Disneyland, hopefully buying a house and moving...There are a lot of good things ahead in our horizon and I can't wait to see how 2017 will play out! I think this could be one of our best years yet!

I wish you all luck with your resolutions, but let's all resolve to be better people and help to make this world a little brighter!
