new week, new goals

Hello internetworld. It's been a while since I've posted. Again, I wait for the inspiration to post whatever I feel is worthy haha. Today I feel inspired because of the awesome sunshine today. I just walked penny (my dog, just in case you've never met her) for almost three miles, and I even folded laundry right after it was done! I've also been sleeping a ton. Maybe my body is fighting whatever is going around. Jon is sick so I figured it would try to get me too. Actually, I still have some symptoms of whatever I had before but I'm just ignoring it and sleeping haha. Today while I was walking I organized a list of things I would like to work on everyday. Although none of these may not directly effect you I feel very productive writing them somewhere to keep me accountable. Okay, here goes:
1. Read at least half an hour before bed. Once I get out of the habit of reading it's hard to get back into it. I have to just make the first move and go for it.
2.Do something active everyday. Not necessarily crossfit or tabata. Either a walk, jog, hike, bike ride, whatever. Anything that keeps me moving!
3.Cook more, go out less. We've been eating out a ton and I need to be careful about that. I tend to eat worse and more when I do.
4.Do my glute lifts for my knees. I have a move that I do to help my knee pain that I haven't been doing. I have to start doing them consistently otherwise the pain will keep coming back.
5.Sleep at least 8 to 9 hours a night. Along with this one goes not sleeping too much (10+ hours is a bit odd) and going to bed at a reasonable time. This will provide longevity for years to come, at least until we decide to have kids haha.
6.Make more time for friends. I feel as though I've been hibernating since the new year. I don't like it. I will make a point to hang out with at least one or two people a week!

There's the list. I can't tackle that all at once, but mostly I just need to get up earlier and utilize my time better. Until next time...
