Goals for Fall and Winter

I spent the majority of this summer lazing about at home, and while that wasn't technically my fault due to my inability to drive, I realize that I need to work on my goals instead of giving up.

Short Term Goals:
As short term goals, I would say from now to the next month would be my window. Or a full month or 21 days, seeing as 21 days is how long it takes to break a bad habit. These are goals that seem easier for me, and therefore I am more inclined to take part in reaching these goals.

• Get my haircut -I have been trying to get my hair cut for months, and I have a style in mind and everything, however I have been unable to go because my salon is across town. I will have my hair cut soon, hopefully with more flare.

This is a very close image of a hairstyle I want. Truly I didn't just chose this image because of Jessica, but rather her hair has inspired me as I have been watching Onstyle's Jessica and Krystal. My hair is very straight and just past my shoulders, so it will look different. I just need the slight layers and slight side bangs to add. 

Another example of a hair style I want is this one below. It is almost like the previous one, but more what I would look like. Less bangs though, but the part is the main focus as I currently have a more middle type part.

• Start Blogging once a week

I have had an alarm and everything set for weeks, and yet I have been unsuccessful in my desire to work on posts due to my lack of laptop. When I was using my mother's, the google chrome quit working and has led me to trying and trying to fix it for days, with no results. Clearly, I am not so tech savvy. With making more posts, I also intend to create more accounts in social media to promote my posts. 

• Do yoga once or twice a week

I have been trying to get into yoga for a while. My parents and friends have tried yoga, but unfortunately, I cannot get into it because it bores me...I much prefer weight lifting or endurance exercise, but I will try to get into the groove of yoga. 

• Do kettlebell exercises twice a week

Love kettlebells. Only have one. The weight I use is 10 pounds. I picked my kettlebell up from Walmart for a cheap price.

• Stretch every day

Doing better with this. I get tight hamstrings because I am naturally flexible. Quitting dance really brought on the loss of flexibility. I do the blogilates Stretching for Flexibility video which really helps. I do this twice; once before I exercise and once after. Make sure you warm up before stretching the first time by running a minute or doing jumping jacks so your muscles aren't cold.

• Clear up acne

If there's anything I want to do most it's this. I feel that professionally, having clear skin will not just give me a better palette for makeup and confidence, but that it will give me a better reputation of how I take care of myself and give me a more professional look.

• Get permit

I cannot stress how important this is to me. Getting my permit would help me a lot, and as I am already legal age to drive, I feel very behind everyone else. Having a permit would help my family immensely as well as take care of the first stretch before I can get a license. 

Long Term Goals

• Bring erg score down

I haven't rowed in a year, so I'm bound to have a high erg score. More info on why I was on rowing hiatus in a future post. I have no idea how my score was last.

• Look professional

I really like to look professional, but some clothes I have don't do the job because they are too casual. By professional, I just mean the quality of what I wear and a bit of the style. I don't want to dress dull and old ladyish, but add pieces to my closet that are nice and presentable that I could wear to juries or something. There are tons of other ways to get professional that don't include clothing.

Another way to look professional is to get a following on my blogger and twitter to give myself a better look of professionalism on social media. I also wish to buy a domain and create a custom website once I get a higher number of subscribers. Before I do this, I will be making a YouTube account to vlog and talk, review products, etc.
