Sooooo I’m going to start off by saying I think I did OK on this list of goals!
25 goals to hit before 26
- get/ keep Crohn’s in remission
- get in to see the endometriosis specialist I have been trying to see (out of my control but still a goal)
get all A’s my 1styear of grad schoolnot have to drop any of classes due to medical reasons- get to my goal weight loss

do a hand / arm stand (a wall behind is fine)- hold crow pose

- hold a 90sec plank (almost there)
meet by beautiful niece Isabella in Colorado (eat a Voodoo Doughnut)( I met her just not in Colorado 🙂take plane trip with the hubby (I went on a plane trip to Iceland 🙂- learn to shoot (more like better aim)
- see a wild bear
- wean off my anxiety meds and control it with breathing or just don’t let thing get to me that shouldn’t
- fit into a dress I bought for a wedding in October
view myself as more of adult and dress like it lol (Disney shirts and sarcastic workout shirts are all I live in and sweatpants)keep up my journaling /my planner- keep up with ideas for posts and video—post on all social media (KEEP IT UP)
get off the birth control I’m on for the Endometriosis (it’s causing more harm than good)figure out what I want do with my mastersknow when I need rest (and actually listen)learn to be more in tune with myself
The fact that I got through more than half of them is impressive to me! There is a common theme with the ones I did not meet. My weight!!!! ( insert any possible sad, angry or frustrated emoji face). I have posted a video on my youtube channel about what I am going to do in terms of my weight. It has been almost a year since I have been off the birth control ( September)!!! I have had a few docs tell me that it could take being off of the meds for about a year to a year and half to have it completely out of my body. I am praying for that year mark because the weight has been taking a toll on my health physically and mentally. This 50 pound weight gain has been such a burden on me and I so badly want to take my life back and not let this weigh me down so much. My diet has been not 100% but this is something that I do have full control over and have been able to control for years. As for working out, I love going to the gym or taking classes! Plus I will run that 5K, this is still very much a goal for me and I will be documenting this process as well on my youtube channel!!!
As for 26 the only goal I have for myself is to get to a better place mentally on my weight and how I personally see and view myself. I have realized with this weight gain how much of an issue this is for me and it is not healthy. This is all part of getting healthy and just being a better me!
So here is to hopefully another healthy year!!!!
