Wow! A month already gone but that is life, we have to make the best of the time we have because before you know it, time has slipped passed us. Don`t put off what we can do today till tomorrow.
I make four resolutions, or goals, to accomplish each year. Some years I make it with all of them, some years I do not. Usually two are easy and two are hard.
I make a word, or phrase, of how I plan to be for the year and this year I have chosen " Dream it, Do It." I chose this because I am making my dreams come true a little at a time, the time to get them finished is now, year 2019!
Here are my 2019 resolutions :
1 - Reduce Spending By Half
I have to say that the month of June I did not cut my spending. I bought new flip flops, although they were $17 and I got the for $5.50 still it was not a need but a want.
I did cut back on eating out.
But I did stock up an dish washing liquid when it was $3.50 a bottle and I paid $1.00, I wont have to buy any for a very long time.
This one is a 50/50 for June.
2 - Reduce Stuff By Half
Of Coarse this is an ongoing project, there is no way I can work three jobs and get it all done in a short time.
But what is really bad, I don`t remember what I got rid of in the month of June, bedsides that bed frame. This is bad! I forgot?!?!?! Crap.
Maybe I should write this down more often.
I can`t say if its accomplishment or not.
3 - Set Up Sunshine`s Homestead Creations Store
Everyday I am working toward this resolution, I have to have stuff for the store so I am working on one very important thing, not that I can mention yet.
Yes 100% accomplish for June.
Check out what I have to offer now at : Sunshine`s Homestead Creations
4 - Cut Out Sweets - Kick diabetes ass!
Well! The last doctor check up was my kick in the ass. He told me to count calories, for every bite of food I ate, to see how many I was eating and to then cut it down to 1200 per day. He told me that if I did this and lost 20 pounds I probably could come off meds.
I started June 22nd. and it was an eye opener! I was eating way to many calories. Have I cut out sweets? Nope but I have cut way down. I had dessert 2 out of 10 days, so I am getting there.
I will get off the failure train right here for the year. 25% accomplishment, maybe July will be better and a little less sweet.
So, that is how I am doing with my 2019 new year resolutions, how are you doing with yours?
