2017 Goals

Yikes, looks like my last post was my 2015 goals, so I'm a little behind on this blogging thing to say the least. I'm pretty sure I did write down 2016 goals somewhere, but apparently not here. Well, I've made some progress on my goals from 2015 and 2016, which I'll take a moment to brag about:

• I did a dead hang chinup!!! Super proud of this one. I even did it on more than one occasion! 
• I did four writing prompts in 2016, which is way more writing than I ever do so... baby steps. Very, very small, baby steps. 
• I updated my Etsy shop photos, banner and logo, and made a bunch of new crocheted items. Maybe more posts on that later.

And now, a moment of silence to commemorate the fallen goals of the last few years:

• I was doing so well with Duolingo (every day for almost a year) - but I fell off the wagon. I don't really have a specific reason to speak another language so am losing my drive to continue with the lessons. 
• Have not been regularly doing anything musical. I should probably just accept that this is no longer a priority for me. 
• Did not improve at keeping in touch! Hard fail on this one.

And finally, new goals for 2017. I'm really throwing down this year:

• Fitness Goals:
• Do two dead hang chinups in a row.
• Move more regularly - I do pretty intense workouts 3x per week, but I feel like I barely move the rest of the day due to sitting at my desk for work. For this one I'm aiming to just do short (10-15 min) daily exercises or dance breaks. I already started a mini-workout calendar for January.
• Etsy Goals:
• Find five favorite crochet patterns to sell in multiple colors. Basically I want to hone in on my favorites and offer more color selection rather than just having a bunch of random stuff.
• Sell 10 items on Etsy.
• Reading/Writing Goals:
• Read 10 books.
• Write 4 blog posts. Yes, this counts as one! #progress
• Do 6 writing prompts. This may overlap with the blog posts if I decide to post any short stories here. 

And with that, I promise my next post will not be 2018 Goals...
