Aimee- New Goals

-

 Hello Everyone!


I'm starting some new goals for this year. I have struggled a lot this year with my mental health, and I really want to be in a better place. I don't always know how to do that, but I am trying! Something I have been focusing on is losing weight and getting back into shape physically. My health has declined a lot as well as gaining a lot of weight since Steven and I got married. I have gained over 40 lbs in 2 1/2 years. I'd really like to see that go down. For every 5 lbs I lose, I am letting myself buy an article of clothing :) I don't fit in any clothes (I wear scrubs all day anyways) and I'd like to get some new stuff for summer/fall. 

For my physical goals, I'm going to make my workout schedule from running and youtube videos from two girls I really like. I need to work on my flexibility and mobility. Everything hurts and once a get down on my knees at work, it takes a lot to get my knees working again. Which isn't great for restraining large dogs! I am also going to work on a more balanced meal plan, allowing some indulgence so that I don't over indulge. Making a menu and prep cooking before my work week starts helps a lot. 

I am also working on my mental health through keeping a journal, doing things for myself, and getting into therapy. Everyone in the area has a wait list, so I have been waiting on some lists. We also have a lot of financial goals for debt and savings that will help me feel better.

    Go Aimee! Sounds like you've got some good goals going here. I especially like the reward system you are planning, I think that is a great idea.

      I know, I'm excited about that. I started at 190 and I'm at 186.6, so maybe next week I can pick something out for myself!

    Yay Aimee! If you tire of running, there are a lot of great workouts and stretches on FitOn. Sorry I keep mentioning it so much, I just love it! I love love love figuring out financial stuff, and highly recommend attending a couples finance class if you haven't :) Way to go!

      I'll have to look into it! I've heard of it before. I use some blogilates videos, pilates DVD's, and some of Action Jacquelyn's Barre videos. I'm trying to find something that works well after work, I'll look into it!

Life Was Not Meant to Be Easy.-Aubrey

I think it is so important to understand that life was never meant to be easy. I have been really struggling lately. Some emotional and some physical, but it is kicking my butt. I have been trying to figure out what I can do to help me, but also properly execute my responsibilities at home as a wife and mother. I have been struggling to even just do the basics without losing my temper or checking out (Aaron has watched quite a bit of tv lately).  I made a check list that is pretty redundant, but it is necessary sometimes with my currant state of mind. It is divided into 4 parts; Personal, Kids, Zach, and Family/House. It has things as little and consistent as prayers and as changing as the specific chores that need to be done that particular day. My checklist haste been a really good way for me to feel like I am getting things done, but also lets me know what I might be neglecting. I noticed this last week that I have put more importance on everybody else so yesterday when I would ...

 Long time no see! Austin and I are finally getting into more of a routine. His class work load is so much easier since switching majors from Mechanical Engineering to Manufacturing Engineering Technology. He's hoping that he might be able to squeeze in a weekend to go hunting this fall, he still needs to call Cameron and talk about it though.  We will be 28 weeks tomorrow, and I am so excited! The weather is starting to cool off, I've got most of our baby stuff washed, organized, and ready to go, and the fall colors are starting to show in the trees! Tonight is our 4/5 hypnobirthing class, and we will be spending the majority learning how to use counterpressure techniques and stuff to help during labor, which I'm pretty pumped about. ALSO, Austin and I both have job interviews on Friday! It's for seasonal positions at Artco (The Occassions Group) making greeting cards for the holidays. They are incredibly flexible with schedules (literally work whenever you want, as th...

 This week is feeling redundant.  I know I still need to get to sleep but I'm so tired of trying and failing so now I want to change my goal.  However, like I said, I still need to get to sleep on time.  So I have as of not yet done much energy work on it and have on many other things which have improved.  Reasons I have failed to use it for this my current goal are many and right now sound like a bunch of excuses so I'm skipping those and today, Monday, am implementing at least one, maybe two techniques.  I will report on any results good or bad and I want progress on this one this week.  I am also going to include it heavily in my prayers, throughout the day if necessary.  This non progress has been the story of my efforts for a long time.  Since I know I'm supposed to focus on it then I am assuming I'm supposed to progress at it.  So here goes this week.  Goals: Planning meeting with God as soon as I am dressed and awake Alarm at...
