The past couple years have been filled with so many firsts for me, it's been crazy! I'm hoping this year slows down a bit, but also looking to still make improvements to my overall well-being.

 

Big Goals:

  • Finish Bible Reading - Last year I set a goal to read through the entirety of the Bible. Didn't finish, so I'm setting a goal to finish that goal

> My plan is to read in the mornings when BabyG is sleeping.

  • Read at least 5 books - My plan with this one is to read a little every day. I would love to exceed this goal, but we'll see what happens.
  • Find a house - Would love for 2023 to be the year that D and I can get our own place.

> Not a huge gameplan here. Just continuing to look and see what pops up.

  • No sugar - This is a big one in terms of overall health. I'm going to slowly cut it out.

> To start with, my goal will be only one intentional sugar/day

  • Budget - We have a rough budget right now, but since we don't have very many expenses, we haven't been keeping ontop of it as much as I'd like to.

> My goal is to set a budget and keep track of income/expenses better.

  • Screentime - As with the sugar, my goal is to lessen my intake of screentime.

> My plan with this is to have a place to set my phone during the day. Might get rid of social media, but we'll see what the year brings.

 

Side Quests:

  • Skin Care - Find a routine and stick with it
  • Workout - At least twice a week
  • Inktober52 - Participate as much as possible
  • Bread - I recently started keeping starters. My goal is to keep them alive and use them
  • Language - Work on learning Spanish
  • NaNoWriMo - Participate

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is what I have so far. :)

Copied from first challenge:

 

Challenge Wrap Up:

📵 - I'd like to really limit my screen time and focus more on spending time with different hobbies and things. Especially since we're hoping to have a house this year (2023) and I'll have more responsibilities around the house than just taking care of our little space.

Things went pretty well with this until I switched over to my new phone and I have no clue how I'm actually doing with screentime, but I'm pretty sure it's more than I want it to be. Planning to find a better way to work on this in the coming weeks.

 

🍬 - I would also like to limit my sugar intake. It's been really bad, especially with the holidays. Eventually I'd like to work on junk foods in general, but figured I'd start slow.

Didn't do terrible with this. Most weeks I only had a couple days where I had more sugar than I had planned for the day. Counting that as a success!

 

✏️ - This one is more of a "sidequest" type goal, but I'd like to check the Inktober52 prompts whenever they're posted and see if that's something I plan on participating in this year. I had planned on it this past year, but ended up not doing it. If I decide to participate, I'd like to work out a plan for what that will look like.

Been keeping up with the prompts so far and I've been posting the pictures of my art over in the Inktober52 thread that a few of us have been using. It's been fun seeing how different everyone's art is depending on how they view the prompt. :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall, I think things went pretty well this challenge. I think my biggest thing I'd still like to work on is having a good spot to set my phone while I'm not using it so I'm not on it as much.

I mentioned this on my challenge thread, but I need to take a break from challenges for a little while. This challenge kinda fell apart on me and I'm hoping that just taking time to reset will help. Planning to pop in here every so often. :) Hope y'all are doing well.
