A few of my goals this year are to increase my fitness level, make yoga a habit, try meditation, plan weekly menus, make only one trip to the grocery store a week, and of course save money. I have been doing pretty good with most of the goals so far. I can't believe we are already 3 months into the year.
I have been practicing Yoga since the middle of January by using the YogaStudioApp for the iphone/ipad. It is an amazing app with just what I was looking for in terms of yoga practice. I have noticed a huge improvement in my patience, stress level and flexibility. If I miss a day, I can't wait to get my yoga time the next day. I don't like feeling that stress and frustration build up and yoga definitely helps that to disappear.
The other goals that have been so benefical are menu planning and one grocery trip a week. I take time each Saturday or Sunday to plan out several meals for the week and then get to the grocery store to stock up. I find we eat better, healthy and less processed/packaged meals. I am excited to cook each night and put together our meals and have plenty of time to do so because I don't have to stop at the store. Because I don't make several grocery store stops I am saving quite a bit of money. I don't shop when I am hungry and I am not picking up whatever looks good. I focus on getting just what is on my list.
I am proud of my accomplishments so far and can't wait to see what the next few months will bring. I hope to try new recipes, take yoga classes in town and maybe even give cross-fit a try.
QOTD: What 2013 goals are you accomplishing?
