Remember the resolutions I made at the beginning of the year? Let's see how those went.
1. Read at least two books a season.
- Winter: I Shouldn't Even Be Doing Thing And Other Things That Strike Me As Funny by Bob Newhart & Don't Stand Too Close To A Naked Man by Tim Allen & Meaty: Essays by Samantha Irby
- Spring: Are You There, Vodka? It's Me Chelsea by Chelsea Handler & The Bedwetter by Sarah Silverman
- Summer: Reasons To Stay Alive by Matt Haig
- Fall: Why Not Me? by Mindy Kaling
So I fell short of this goal by one measly book. That's on me. I'll do way better this coming year.
2. Try two things off of Pinterest a month.
- Not even close. I didn't keep track of all of the recipes I've tried, but it certainly wasn't close to two per month. Infact, I didn't care much for this resolution after all. Noted.
3. Apply to work stuff at least ten times a month.
- Hahahah, NOPE!
4. Volunteer at least once a month.
- Honestly, I think I volunteered twice this year. I'm a terrible person.
5. Do pilates at least five times a month.
- January = 7 times
- February = 7 times
- March = 6 times
- April = 3 times
- May = 2 times
- June = 6 times
- July = 3 times
- August = 3 times
- September = 0 times
- October = 0 times
- November = 0 times
- December = 2 times
Okay, so I sort of fell off my game towards the end of the year. But that doesn't mean that I still don't love this resolution and will likely repeat it for 2016. I actually really like those classes, as you may remember, so I really want to be more consistent this upcoming year. (As a sidenote, in 2014, I went to the gym 37% (137 days out of 365) of that year. In 2015? I went 86 days out of 365, so that's 23.5% of my year that was spent at the gym. A lot less than I went in 2014, but what can you do? I was really proud of that 37% from 2014, so I'll continue to gym it up and try to get in that bracket range next year. And honestly 23.5% is absolutely better than 0%, so I'm not really beating myself up over that one.)
6. Juice at least ten times a month.
- January = 12 times
- February = 11 times
- March = 8 times
- April = 3 times
- May = 2 times
- June = 4 times
- July = 1 time
- August = 4 times
- September = 7 times
- October = 0 times
- November = 21 times (!)
- December = 2 times
Okay, so my juicing was all over the place. When I remembered? That's when juicing happened. But I really want to be amazing at it this next year, especially since it's so ridiculously good for you.
7. Stop falling into the Instagram butt trap.
- I totally stopped! Success!
So those are my 2015 results. If any of that is boring to read, my apologies! I like to track my successes and my failures to see what I most need improvement on and maybe it'll inspire you to do the same with your own yearly goals. And if you're wondering how I track all of these things, you really should know by now.
