Where has February gone? I mean.. I know there's only 28 days for this month but come on! Time has flown by!

So the end of the month comes the time where I review my 'vows' that I set for February. I'm thinking I maybe shouldn't have called them a vows as I only held up half the bargain this month.

*** Practice Yoga Everyday ***
I smashed this one! I've actually REALLY enjoyed doing the Do You Yoga Challenge this month, I definitely think I've become more flexible with some of the poses. I enjoy yoga and its a way for me to clear my head and relax after a busy day.
I think I'll be continuing to practice Yoga everyday, I'm gonna do the 10 Day Yoga for Abs that's also by Erin Motz. Could do with strengthening my core a bit, especially since I'm not long off surgery. Every little helps with that!

I've also seen a Yoga 'Bendy' Challenge on Instagram flying around, so I may do that.

*** Do a Biscuit/Sweet/Cakes Ban ***
This one is the reason why I think I shouldn't have called these a vow. Way back at the beginning of the month, I changed this vow slightly. I allowed myself to have some sweet treats but it was limited. It wasn't a complete fail, but I know I could have done way better with this one. I've been having more fruit rather than sugary treats. I've been having raw bars like Nakd Bars too.

I just have too much of a sweet tooth and I need to knock it on the head a little. I have made many healthier choices this month. I've been drinking more water and tea when I get hunger cravings as I find it is just that I'm thirsty and not really hungry.

I'm still proud of how I've handled the sweet ban.

I've half completed my vows this month. I think I saw it coming when I made the vow, but thought by some miracle that I'd be able to cut it out. I'm not entirely sure how I did it last time, but I didn't struggle the way I did this time round when trying to completely avoid treats.

So, we'll be moving onto a new month.. and it's quite a busy month for me but I have no doubt that its also going to fly by very quickly. Phillip and I have our holiday to Mexico coming up on the 18th March which we're both very excited about so we'll be busy with preparation for that.. then it will be my surgery.

I haven't made my mind up about my vows for the month of march, but that post will be imminent tomorrow, so keep an eye out!

Until Next Time!

Question: Anyone have some tips on how to tame the sweet tooth?

Heeeelloo! to the first of February. I hope that January was good to you and that you achieved good things!

January has gone by so fast! I've not even been that busy but its flown by. The faster it goes by, the faster my surgery comes around and that makes me nervous and excited at the same time.

I'll be doing Vows of the Month each month this year, they'll just be goals that I'll set for the month that will help me achieve my goals for the year.

So, my vows for this month..

*** Practice Yoga Everyday ***
I want to get into Yoga so I can help to achieve my yearly goals of being able to do crows pose, headstands and handstands.

I've been slacking lately on the Yoga front and I only did 2 Yoga workouts for the month of January.

I'm gonna do the Do You Yoga - 30 Day Challenge with Erin Motz. Its 30 days of Yoga in 10-20 minute videos that are sent directly to your inbox each day.

If you fancy joining in with the challenge, go to Do You Yoga to sign up!

*** Do a Biscuit/Sweet/Cakes Ban ***
Back in October, I did #nochoctober on Instagram with a bunch of other people. It was originally supposed to be just chocolate but I extended it to other sweet treats.

I did pretty well. I didn't last the whole month, but about 25 days out of the month. They say it takes 28 days to make a habit.. there's 28 days in February, PERFECT! :)

My snacking with regards to sweet treats had gotten a little out of hand and I've mentioned this is several posts before. It's time to put a stop to it before it gets any worse.

I'll be banning everything sweet related, with the exception of a dessert on a Saturday as its family night, which I think is an acceptable decision.

I think that the two vows above should be quite a challenge to stick to just on their own but I'm determined to make sure that I do BOTH of them!

Here's to a great February!

Question: Do you set any smaller goals throughout the year? or just the larger ones at the start of the year? Maybe not at all? Let me know!
