Hi lover! How was your weekend?? Miami temperature was around 100º F, perfect for the pool or the beach. That’s exactly what I got to do all weekend and it was lovely! I hope you got some good weather and time to kick back and enjoy.
I am constantly on the pursuit of improving myself. I don’t like to take New Years day as the only time to reevaluate and set new goals. Rather, I prefer continuously seeing what areas of my life I could change and put more effort into. With all this being said, I chose to look back at the Resolutions I gave myself this year.
1. Get out of bed at 8am every work day– I’ve always been more of a night owl and loved sleeping in. But this year I really wanted to make it a habit to get out of bed earlier. I don’t have to be at my job until 10am, so I really wanted to take advantage of the mornings to get things done and be more organized. I am not yet at the 8am mark, but I am getting up at 8:30am. This is great news for me because I still have 6 more months to improve my morning routine by 30 minutes!
2. Be on time more– Ah the struggle! I am typically late to most places. I admire people who are always on time and I love getting tips from them. Overall, I have had some improvements, but I definitely need to work on this more.
3. Make healthier food choices– This is a lifestyle change I wanted to make and not a diet. Out of all my resolutions, I have done the best job with this one. It definitely didn’t happen overnight and I do not consider myself a perfect eater, but I am so happy with the changes I’ve made.
4. Save a cash fund for something fun– Ok I will be completely honest with you… I had totally forgotten about this goal. How upsetting because by now I could have saved a good amount, but I am excited to start the fund from now on. One of my friends, does a weekly cash fund and she is so good at sticking to it. Last year she saved a little over USD $1,000! If I start now, maybe I can save around $500. 🙂
Back in January, I did not want to set a long list of goals so I could easily stick to the few I chose. How are your resolutions going? I would love to hear about them! Thank you for stopping by lovers!

Love your resolutions!! I’ve only accomplished one of my goals/resolutions this year and that was to save money. i have saved a ton, but still have more to go. I also need to make a new resolution to eat healthier and get back into shape. But like you said it’s a lifestyle change, which can take time to adapt to.

Thank you!! Well we are only have way through the year so you still have time to keep up the saving and keep working on the lifestyle change. It happens slowly but surely, xoxo

I like your resolutions! Mine was to get to bed no later than 12 which I have been doing( but there are still those off days) and to be up by 7 or 8. I’ve been doing pretty well with getting up at 8.

Oh that is such a good point! I have to remind myself to be in bed no later than 12 too. I also need to remember not to stay scrolling aimlessly on my phone past that time haha. Good for you Sasha!
