The Year of Following Through

     So I've been out of my normal routine.  A week before Christmas, Chickpea, my hubby, and I all got sick.  Then you put the holidays on top of that, and you have a recipe for some temptation and falling behind.  Well, here I am, owning it and getting back in the groove.  The last few days I have completed my workouts, and after hubby gets back from the grocery store this evening we will have better food choices (aside from the pizza I ordered).
     As I've been thinking about what I want to focus on for 2015, I've settled on following through.  This is not just for my health, it is also in other areas of my life.  Health and fitness is a great example though.  I often get excited and it is not uncommon for me to make it 3-6 months doing well.  Then something will throw me off.  In the past I have lost focus and left the path that I originally set out to follow.  If I didn't see the results I wanted right away, I would get discouraged.
     Another aspect of my life that I will follow through on is cleaning and organizing my home.  I ran across a plan for decluttering and organizing the home in 52 weeks.  Each week has a different area to focus on, and there are 15 minute missions to accomplish each day to help you reach that week's goal.  The Facebook group is called Declutter 365, and the full details about the program can be found at Home-Storage-Solutions-101.com.  It's amazing how just taking little actions toward the goal can help give more motivation.  Today I went through my 2 drawers of kitchen utensils.  I tossed those that were damaged, put duplicates in the donation bin, and organized what we are keeping.  It looks so much better!  The goal is to follow through during the year.  It's easy to be excited now.  The true test will be how I follow through as the year progresses.

     My 2015 is about following through, and understanding that it is not about an end goal.  Instead, it is about the process of continually moving forward towards the outcomes and milestones I desire.  I will continue to update on health/fitness related progress.  I also will be incorporating posts about other projects that I am focusing on as well. 
     I'd love to hear about your focus for the year! 

All the best,
