I married my best friend on March 8, 2023. I'm so excited to get our videos and photos back from our special day but I thought I'd announce it in this post until then.
Now that I'm a married lady (ayeee), I figured I should set up a list of things I want to achieve for myself this year. There's a lot of changes with becoming married despite us still living at my house. I feel like it's so easy for us to just lay in bed but I want to set up a routine for myself to try and do as much as I can despite being a chronically fatigued girl.
I did get surgery on my mouth earlier this week so I'm not allowed to do too much movement and exercise for a couple of days but I hope I can at least add a work out to my daily routine.
Below are what I hope are at least more realistic and achievable goals I feel like I'll be able to accomplish.
- Find time to work out for at least 30 minutes a day. Work out for at least 10 minutes on the days where you don't feel like moving at all.
- Cycle sync work outs.
- Heal my gut and my mind. Meal prep for my lunches--increase vegetable intake again and increase proteins in my diet.
- Find ways to increase alertness and energy.
- Read at least 1 book a month
- Declutter my space: less is more. Try to go for a minimalistic wardrobe again, especially sharing a small closet space with John now.
- Budget! 50/30/20 rule. -- not really applicable but here's how I want to break things down.
- Although my paychecks are inconsistent being an hourly employee, my goal is to still put in 50% into myself--in regards to: insurance, 401k, savings (one in BOA and one in my HYSA)
- Big picture: buying a home/investment property
- 30% -- food and travel savings. John and I are big foodies and hope to travel more together in the future.
- 20% -- extra, play money but also continued savings when not needed.
- Journal at least 1x mo
- Reduce unnecessary spending! Do I really need that BTS plush?
- Purge and deep clean space at least every 4-6 months.
