Last Year's Not-So-Great Resolutions were pretty epic, so I'm not sure if I can make some horrible resolutions again, but I assure you, I will try my best. I am not a die hard new years goals because, let's be honest, I usually forget about them by January 6th (Oh wait, that's today. I've already forgot about some. Look at that!) But, I do like to pick a word to focus on. Earlier this week, I posted my word that I want to focus on for the New Year.
With that being said, I do like to pick a few things from each category of my life to either keep working on and improve on. I realize that some of them might be vague. I think it's also important to be realistic.
Okay, let's get to the not-so-great resolutions. THE FUN STUFF.

2016 was a solid 8/10. I'm not going to lie, my not-so-great resolutions didn't happen. Shocking.
I cannot wait to see what 2017 brings.
In 2017, I hope to:
Continue my obsession with the Bachelor (which started on Monday. You can see my live tweets here. You're welcome).
Make Saylor cuddle with me even when she doesn't want to.
Continue to post really good pictures of me (see above) on Instagram and Snapchat (@sierrasview). (Why am I always so good looking? I have got the whole not-looking-at-the-camera-blogging-look DOWN).
Move to Maui full time.
Have twins (one boy and one girl) and be done with having children. One and done. Boom.
Lose 200 pounds (K, but seriously. I want at least 50 of these bad boys GONE. Working on it!).
Make Amy Schumer my best friend (It didn't work last year).
Force my husband to be done with bachelor's degree and instantly become rich (He should be done in December! Ahhhh IT'LL BE A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE). The rich part is super plausible and realistic, I know.
Never get mad at my sixth graders (hahahahahahahaha).
Get three more puppies.
Re-watch Gilmore Girls and Friends while doing laundry. Again.
Actually put away my laundry.
Maybe cook some dinner one of these nights. (meh).
Read 5 books every month. I wish I was kidding when I made this goal, but this could actually happen. Yikes. (But really, I want to read at least 2 a month!). I read 40 books in 2016. I'll probably read more than 2 a month. But hey, life happens.
Pray that people will stop talking about the stupid election. ENOUGH ALREADY.
Convince anyone over the age of 70 to get off Facebook.
That's all I can think of.
2017 looks promising, don't ya think?
In all seriousness though, I wanted to write a couple of my ACTUAL resolutions down. I don't like to make huge ones because I am not very good with follow through (I am really good at starting things though! Ha). Just a couple per facet in my life. Notice how I write "try" on many of them. Haha. Of course everything takes effort, so I will definitely try on all of these.
Spiritual
+Read scriptures and/or Conference talk daily (at least one). This is something that my patriarchal blessing talks about, probably because, well, I suck at doing it consistently. I love to read/listen to my scriptures and conference talks, but I cannot seem to get a routine down with them. I am really going to try this year!!!
+Gain a testimony of the mundane aspects of the gospel. Sometimes I tend to overlook those everyday things in the gospel, when really, that is where strength comes from. I want to try to get to church on time (ha! Good luck when we have kids!), do my visiting teaching more often, attend the temple by myself and with T monthly), and not procrastinating my tithing. I don't want to put set numbers on these things because then I feel like they become "duties", however they are things that I do want to focus on with my spiritual well-being.
Emotional/Mental
+Write in my journal at least once a week (bullet points, if needed!). Because I have this blog I tend to neglect my personal journal. I want to look for something to be grateful for everyday and to work on my word of the year (patience) while writing in my journal.
-Do the 91 Day Home De-Clutter Challenge at some point this year. My house is quite clean, but I really want to throw away junk. I cannot believe how much junk just T and I accumulate after one 3 1/2 years of marriage (and we don't even have that much. I'm just a little bit of a minimalist!).
-Read at least two books a month. I love book club and I love to read. I think that this is something quite manageable for me. I am excited to make a plan for books to read in 2017!!
Physical
-Continue to figure out my hormones/medicines/vitamins to help. I cannot tell how many days I have spent crying over trying to figure out my body and it's hormones. It's discouraging and aggravating. I am going to continue to figure out what to do with it and try my best. I will not kill myself because it's not worth it. But I will do what I can. That's all I can ask for myself (I need to be patient with myself!).
-Continue to work out 4-6 times a week. 4 minimum (This is something that I already do, but I want to keep it going!).
-Be able to run a 5k by summer!
Social
-Keep improving and writing on my blog as much as possible! (Switch blog to wordpress). I want to shoot for writing on my blog at least once a week (2-3 if possible), but I can't promise. Again, I will try my hardest!
Maybe: Start my photography cards!
Try to make my bed as often as possible (Guys, I really hate to do this!!).
