Bye 2014

So this is clearly a little late of a post since January is halfway from being over (Ummmm crazy right?) I have just been so busy and haven't had any time to myself.....okay, that's a total lie, I have had countless hours to myself, just not hours that I want to spend thinking about the past year. I am not going to make this post all sad and gloomy and dwelling about the shitty things that have happened, I am going to a "positive Patty" (funniest name ever) As one of my new years resolutions.


So, instead, let's talk about the exciting things that I want to happen in 2015.

First is, obviously, what is on everyone's list. I want to loose 30 pounds. In 2014, I gained a whole TON of weight, I don't know if it was stress or the fact that I always tend to over eat because my metabolism used to be nothing and I could eat and eat and still be a size 0. Clearly, I am almost 25 and my body is different, so there comes all the weight gain. I HATE working out and I absolutely HATE eating healthy, so this one is actually going to be really hard for me to do because I literally have to convince myself to eat healthy. Bleh...it is so not fun! Some positives though, I have been going to the gym at least 3 times a week ( I want it to be 4, but I am getting there!) and I have come to find out that running is actually a better stress reliever than eating is, which is kind of common sense right, but eating is so much easier and its easy to forget these common sense things. So, this one is super hard, but it's getting easier day by day. Hopefully by next New Years I will want to just wear a sparkly bikini top because my body will be so smokin' hot! ;)

Second is, be able to support myself. Ever since I was 17 years old, Tony and I had a bank account together and ever since then Tony has ALWAYS made more money than me. I have never had to worry about how much money I was making until this past year. Let's talk about stressful! Having to live on a waitress/phlebotomist/occasional manager pay is not easy.... I never had a set paycheck! So this year, I want to make enough money for just me and I want to be able to go out and buy an apartment without having to worry about how much it will be a month and I want to buy a new car..(car in an understatement, I REALLY want to buy a truck, How bad ass would it be if I owned a nice truck?) I want to do it on my own and just have my name on it. That's a good goal to have for a 25 year old right?

Third is, I want to not be so stressed out all the time. I want to be the happy-go-lucky person I used to be. I need to stop being so worried about what tomorrow is going to bring or what the future is going to bring and just focus on the NOW. Don't try and have a set day that I will be finished with school (side note, I actually took this semester off so I can try and get money and my life relaxed, I was so stressed about doing that, but probably the best decision I could have made for myself) I want to not be a basket case every day and just let things happen the way they are supposed to happen.


Some others that are not "paragraph worthy" are: 

  • be more spontaneous
  • read more
  • take more pics
  • do something that scares me- this one might be sentence worthy, when I was thinking about this one I was like "This year my goal is going to be to hold a snake!" After I reallllly thought about it was like "hmmm bettah not" Just throwing it out there: I will never in my life hold or touch a snake. So that is not going to be the thing that scares me this year. 
  • be happier
  • be a better person inside and out
  • have an awesome 25th birthday
  • travel more

So there you have it! Sometimes when I make goal lists I have a hard time stopping, so I had to cut myself off. 2014 was the most challenging year of my life, but through all of those challenges I learned a whole lot about myself that I am going to carry into my "adult years" 

Here's to 2015 being the best year yet!
