1. Spending fast, of sorts - My sisters and I did this for a few months last year and Dehli and I are going to do it again this year. Unlike last year, I have no credit card balance or large bills or anything to pay off (sans my car and student loans...but everything in its season lol) but I want to take some pretty wicked vacations after graduation next summer. That being said, I will be participating in a modified spending fast...which I guess means I can't call it a fast, but whatever lol. I'll be describing my criteria in tomorrow's post.
2. Work out -
- I have two apps on my phone. 0 to 100 push-ups and 0 to 200 sit-ups that I want to conquer. I started last week and I can already feel improvements. The apps have three work outs per week to build your endurance. So far so good!
- I also want to run a 5k this year. I did one last year...but I didn't train and I had to walk a bit. I have another app on my phone to help me build endurance and learn to pace myself.
3. Spend more time getting to know God. He deserves far more of me than I give him.
4. Blog more. Self-explanatory. I usually do really well in the first part of the year and then quickly trail off.
5. Sleep more. I want to be in bed no later than 1030 every week night (Sun-Thurs). I have an alarm set on my phone to further remind myself of the goal.
6. Keep on top of my school work and get more A's this semester than I did last semester.
7. Finish reading the Bible through. I'm on track to finish the New Testament this week, in fact. But I want to read the OT straight through. I've read a good chunk of it...but I tend to jump around, purposefully avoiding some (*cough cough* Deuteronomy...lol)
What do you think? Any tips? What are your no hard-set goals for 2013?
I love this post! SO many of your goals I am working on too. I am also trying to save money, spend more time with God, get more fit, and sleep more! I finished the Bible earlier this year, and let me tell you...I certainly struggled around Deuteronomy as well! :) The New Testament took no time comparatively speaking to the Old. My tip is just to read it in small doses, so that you aren't just taking in SO much at once. It all runs together, and I caught myself just reading and not comprehending a LOT of the Old Testament. But you will get there! And you will feel so very accomplished when you do!! :)
ReplyDeleteYay, thanks for the encouragement, Jessica! I am sure to need it once I get past Genesis and Exodus haha. Also, thanks for the tip! That's a really good idea. Glad to know I'm not the only one with some of these goals! I look forward to reading about your progress on your blog! :)
