New Year, New Me Bullshit

Ok, so like, it's going to be 2015. And I'm going to be 30 in six months. And I feel sluggish and I sleep like shit and I'm wasting money in an expensive city on eating out and eating crappy. All of that is to say I'm setting myself some goals in hopes of making 2015 the year I create a healthier life for myself.

Goal #1) Wear hair up only twice per (work) week.
Ok, this might sound dumb but I seriously need to style my hair more often. I'm an adult and adults can't wear a messy bun every day to work. So (at least) three days per week I will do my hair (which allows two days for it to be greasy and up in a bun!). This feels like a reasonable start to the real goal of putting myself together. Maybe in 2016 I'll buy real shoes?! Meh.

Goal #2) Cook dinner at home (at least) three times per week.
To start saving money and eating healthier foods I'm going to have to overcome my severe distaste for cooking. Truly, I hate it. BUT this is what needs to be done so mama isn't so damn poor and fat. I'll probably meal plan in advance and use the shit out of my crockpot in case I'm working late but it can certainly be done. Plus, maybe I'll stop sucking at it.

Goal #3) Bring lunch to work four times a week (at least).
Again, save money and eat healthy. I'll (maybe) give myself one day a week to go grab some Pret or whatever because sometimes you just need to get away from your desk.

Goal #4) Be the healthiest I've ever been!
This means [shutter] exercising regularly. This means eating foods that from the earth and not always covered in cheese. This means not eating cookies every single time I want to. This means recognizing when I'm stressed and doing something productive with it. I want to go for long walks or weekend hikes, I want to move more and sleep better and not brace myself every time i encounter some stairs. Yes, I want to lose weight but not at the expense of living a happy life. I want to lose weight BECAUSE I'm living a happy life.

In an effort to be productive I am off to clean the house and think hard about going to the gym tomorrow. Here goes nothing.
