Here we are, halfway through the first month of a new year! What a year it's going to be too. Our Baby Boy is about 95 days away from his due date and Adam and I have lots of chaos going on between now and then, more about that in another post. I still feel good about the goals I'm setting but I definitely need more self-discipline! I'm proud that I was able to get back to using the elliptical on a 2-3 time per week basis but I can still do better about getting more exercise, especially now that I'm pregnant and that's the last thing on my mind. I worked through quite a few beauty products at the house BUT I need to seriously stop purchasing these items and keep narrowing down my stock pile! I'm finding that lotions and scents don't seem to last as long as they use to so I'm having to throw them out. Along those lines, I just went thru my pantry and had SO much food that was way expired - so, is it better to buy when it's a deal or just buy things as you need them? I have some work to do on that front in 2016.
I didn't get through as many actual books as I would have liked this year but did get through a lot of magazines. I also canceled my newspaper subscription which has eliminated tons of papers around the house and I'm not going to be tempted by weekly ads now hopefully.
I ALMOST beat my scrapbook page total from 2014, so close! I'm happy with what I did get complete in 2015 but of course, would love to be completely caught up! Don't see that happening anytime soon now. I'm starting now in January 2012 which puts me 3 full years behind. Sigh.
So here's to another great year with lots of exciting things/changes ahead! Happy 2016!

Blog Posts:
23 for the year (27 in 2014)
Exercise:
677.43 miles (705.38 miles in 2014)
Scrapbook Pages:
438 pages
In 2013, my scrapbook page goal was
200. In 2014, my goal was 300 and my total page count for the year was
447 pages! This year I scrapbooked from July 2011 – January 2013 and all
of our Europe trip this summer. Would really have liked to get more,
especially now with baby on the way, but work, travel and life come
first! At least everything related to the wedding (planning, engagement,
wedding, honeymoon) are already completed from 2012/2013 so that just leaves
the normal events/holidays/trips to scrapbook.
