knit1purr2If I write these down, then I am more likely to do them. I know the new year is full of people trying to make huge changes.
Crafty: Learn brioche knitting, make a garment for me, and get and keep my stash updated on Ravelry. Brioche is just so pretty I want to learn a new skill. Making something bigger for myself then just hats/shawls. I have a pattern and yarn for this picked out. Stash updating is so that I can keep track of what I have and try and use stash yarn before buying new yarn.
Mom: Try new activities with kiddo and stay patient as he tries new things. And to try and leave my phone alone when I am having Bobby specific time. Patience is one thing that I am still working on. Bobby has really enjoyed helping out in the kitchen and while it makes things take about twice as long and includes more clean up time, it is important for him. The phone thing is part of my quest to not be so screen dependent.
Financial: Try to pay off another student loan this year. ($5k) This is probably going to be the hardest and most boring one. I am trying a well recommended app to help me pull out little bits of money to see what I can save. Even still finding 5k in just one year when I am making less then 50k a year will be a challenge.
Personal: Start exercising again (running or working out at least once a week, complete the plank challenge (phone app)). So this is not about me losing weight, though I won't be adverse to that. It is more about getting my fitness level back up. The periods where I was running consistently or even semi-consistently, made me feel so much better about my body in both look and ability. So yeah. I am hoping between couch to 5k, and the musical inspired workout program, I can keep up with this. The plank challenge app is just something that I found that is something I can easily do after putting kiddo to bed or even if I don't make it to a full workout.
So that is what I am currently working on. I am going to try and give at least monthly updates so keep myself responsible.
