2016 RESOLUTIONS

Happy New Year’s Eve! Yesterday I recapped 2015, but today I’m talking about my 2016 resolutions. If you’re interested in reading my resolution posts from previous years you can find them here (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015). In past years, I made resolutions, but never put much thought into the action items I’ll need to take to accomplish those resolutions. So this year, that’s what I’m going to do! 

Resolution #1: Try more unique vegetarian meals.

Action: Visit the many vegetarian restaurants near my home.
Action: Try making meat-free recipes from my new Barefoot Contessa cookbook.
Action: Go to Whole Foods on Mondays for Meatless Monday! I can fill up an entire plate of food (as long as the lid fits) for only $8. 

Resolution #2: Get back into the gym. 

Action: Make a workout plan and stick to it.
Action: Go to the gym right after work without stopping home first.
Action: Buy cute new workout gear to inspire me. 

Resolution #3: Spend more time for me.

Action: Take more yoga classes (preferably in-studio, because Pete is very distracting).
Action: Learn more about essential oils and finally purchase a diffuser and oil set. 
Action: Instead of surfing the Internet before bed, spend that time reading. 

Resolution #4: Create delicious smoothies and juices. 

Action: Make smoothies and juices using “new to me” ingredients, including turmeric, bee pollen, etc. 
Action: Share at least one new smoothie or juice recipe on the blog each month.
Action: Add more protein into my smoothies. I shared a post-workout recipe earlier this week in which I added hemp seeds for protein! From now until January 8, Whole Foods Philly is running a healthy living contest on Instagram where you can win a VitaMix blender. All you have to do is share your favorite post-workout snack and tag #fuelyourfit and @wfmphilly

Resolution #5: Continue getting my health in order.

Action: You saw from this post that I’m taking a lot of vitamins everyday. I plan to continue that in the new year and add probiotics back into my diet. There are a lot of places to get probiotics, but I’ll be checking Whole Foods first, because from January 8-10 they will be having a 25% sale of all vitamins and supplements. 
Action: Get my blood tested for vitamin levels at least one time in 2016.
Action: Find a new dentist closer to my home. Driving 45 minutes to an hour is getting to be too much.
