Motivational Monday

~Motivation~  

The reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way.

(thanks google)

Ok guys.. I have a for reals struggle with motivation.

I always get so excited about things and then I get lots done for like a couple of days (a week if I'm lucky) and then I'm

right back to wanting to do nothing all day. 

The struggle is real!! haha

I've tried and failed at lots of different ways of 

sticking with goals and staying motivated.  

But at least I haven't given up right?? 

So that brings me to Motivational Mondays!

It's something I want to try and hope that it works at least for a while :)

I'm having fun with words right now.

Several synonyms of motivation are 

Enthusiasm 

Drive

Ambition 

Initiative 

Determination 

Don't those words just make you want to go out and accomplish something??

It's amazing how words and pictures can have such a big affect on us.

So that's my goal.

Every Monday I want to:

find things that inspire me

write down goals

look back at the previous week

and keep track of progress

Health and fitness will be a big focus of Motivational Mondays

but I also want to stay motivated to keep a clean and organized home, 

be a good mom and wife, keep up with meal plans, 

and get lots of projects done on our home. 

I'm excited!! 

So I'm sure this will change as I go but hey I gotta start somewhere :)

So now that Motivational Mondays has been introduced, lets give it a shot! 

Inspiration 

Last week recap

Last week was pretty, well, I don't wanna say bad,

but.. yea. It was haha 

I think I worked out once..

I didn't meal plan till like Wednesday..

And I had the hardest time keeping my house clean.

Maybe last week is why I want to do better this week haha

Goals 

#1 Workout. I need a new work out strategy. 

It's just hard with a baby especially when your baby is Micah

and he doesn't have a great schedule that I can work around.. 

getting him on a schedule needs to be a goal, moving and ear infections 

have really thrown him off. 

But most mornings Micah hangs out with Matt while

Matt gets ready for work.. So I'm gonna try and work out then.

I want to switch between riding out bike and pilattes every other day.

#2 Have dinner ready every night (my long standing goal)

#3 Cut waaayy back on sugar.

It's a problem.

A really sweet problem :)

#4 Make some healthy snacks that I can have available

for when me and Micah get hungry 

during the day.

#5 Finish Micah's blanket that I started forever ago.

I'll start with those for now :) 

Happy Monday!!
