Word for 2018.


My word for 2018 is F R E E D O M.

I've identified five areas of freedom that I would like to work on: financial, spiritual, physical, relational, and experiential. 

In a funny twist of fate, I was scrolling way back in my Instagram looking for something in particular when I realized that I actually picked freedom as my word in 2015, too! It was actually the first year that I selected a word for the year. 

2015 = freedom
2016 = me
2017 = health/intention
2018 = freedom

I would say that 2016 and the second half of 2017 were very successful in terms of living out my word. 

Here are some more specific goals for each area: 

Financial
Pay off all credit cards
Meet with a financial planner
Open a retirement account
Contentment challenge
Four no spending months

Spiritual
Read the chronological Bible
Attend church regularly
Listen to worship music
Pray more often

Physical
Drink 150 ounces of water daily
Four round of Whole 30
Get off blood pressure medicine
Fit into a size 12 by the end of the year
Develop a walking habit

Relational
Spend time with quality people
Remove toxic people from my life
Weekly self care in a variety of ways
Practice meditation

Experiential
Plan and save for a big trip within two years
Go on solo adventures
Spend more time outside


Starting over.

I cannot believe that I am here again.

In the fall of 2010, I went to the doctor and found out that I weighed 234 pounds. It was the most that I had ever weighed, and I was disgusted with myself. I kicked myself into high gear and lost 30 pounds. I had never felt better!

I'm not sure what has happened over the last 7.5 years (ha - that's hilarious - a TON has happened), but I weighed myself yesterday and it read 256.6 pounds. WHAT. 

Yesterday, I started another round of Whole 30. I did my first round in July-August 2016. I lost 17 pounds in a month. Obviously, it worked! Unfortunately, I didn't stick with it long enough to see long term results. That changes now. 

I will weigh myself again on January 31, 2018 and see how it works this time. 

I think that one of the reasons that I was so successful with my weightless in 2010-2011 was the fact that I wrote about it. Therefore, I'm trying it again! For now, I'm going to be cataloging my food choices, mostly to hold myself accountable.
