Sharing my New Year, New Goals with Progresso Light!

It's a New Year so time for New Goals with Progresso Light- Love, Pasta and a Tool Belt #ad #ProgresswithProgresso

I seriously cannot believe it is already 2016. I feel like 2015 flew by, it was a whirlwind of loss and new life in our family. 2016 is looking to be a very exciting year with the arrival of our first child, my sister’s first child and my brother’s wedding. We will be keeping busy. When life gets busy it can be hard to remember what we planned to do or resolutions we made. I’m not a huge fan of resolutions because I think they can be so hard to stick with. So this year I’m setting a few goals for myself. I may not achieve them everyday but they are goals I’d like to try and work towards each month.

–Declutter my house– We started on this at the end of 2015 and have made some great progress. With the baby coming it’s kind of forcing us to clean out a lot of rooms because the room that will be the nursery is a bit of a throw all room. We’ve also discovered we can easily take all of the trash to the dump, rather than it sitting in our garage until we have room to send it out with the trash. That’s been a major score for us. So between Goodwill and the dump there shouldn’t be much junk left in this house.

–Eat healthier– This is always a goal for me but I have to remind myself of it each day, month and year. I’m not going fanatic with it, especially since I’ll be pregnant for the next few months. But my goal is to incorporate a few wholesome and healthy meals each week that give me and Tyler plenty of meat and vegetables. One area I struggle in is lunch time, my fall back is a peanut butter and honey sandwich which isn’t so healthy. That is why I am loving the new Progresso Light Soups from Publix. I love that there are so many delicious options and it’s easy for me to make for lunch. It’s a great way to get more of the protein and vegetables I need in at lunch time as well.

New Year New Goals with Progresso6

–Grow and Improve my blog– I have a lot of specific goals within this goal but as I continue blogging as my full time job I am always looking for ways to not only grow my blog but also to improve it. I want to improve my photography and the quality of posts I bring to my wonderful readers!

–Work out consistently– So far so good this year but I know when the baby comes this will become more of a challenge. That’s why I’m trying to get into a good routine of at home work outs now so hopefully being able to work out at home will help me with that!

–Read more books– I need to make a list of books I’d like to read and then I can check them off. I get everything done better when I have a list. Being able to look at a list and see what I’ve accomplished really makes me feel good! Doesn’t it for you?

New Year New Goals with Progresso5

I know these are pretty common goals, but I feel like there is something new we can do each month or each year to better attain these goals. Whether it be trying a new healthy meal or a new workout or focusing on a new room to declutter. There are so many ways to work towards these goals each year as our lives continue to change.

    it is a quick and easy food item to heat up for my lunch break at work and keep me from eating heavier lunches.

    Definitely with you on the list-making. It’s nice to see everything laid out ahead of me and know exactly what needs to be done. As for lunches, we make double what we need for dinner and package them up in microwavable containers for lunch the next day. Works a treat and requires no extra effort since we’re making dinner anyway 🙂

    I’m right there with ya—I decluttered a ton yesterday and today and will continue to attack it all next week. And, I even went to the gym 3 times this week. I haven’t tried Progresso light soups but will do so very soon!

    Eating Progresso soups will fill me up with nutrients instead of calories, which will help me be healthier AND maybe lose some weight! I’d love to try the creamy potato with bacon and cheese!

    Decluttering is my priority this year. I’m making lots of lists and taking it one room at a time. I just can’t believe the amount of stuff we don’t need in our house.

    Progress Is Delicious when using Progresso soups in the New Year. They offer a healthy alternative for lunches and dinners. They are satisfying and full and can be sued in dishes to help make you even more full. We are looking forward to using Progresso New England Clam Chowder to make our New Year delicious!

    I also need to declutter, that’s definitely at the top of my list! I’m also going to try to focus more on what matters most in life and focusing on only those, rather than trying to do too many things at once!

    My new years resolution is to learn to cook healthier for my family! I have so much to learn, but I think these Progresso light soups would be so helpful! Love the calories! I would love to try the Light Chicken and Cheese Enchilada first…would love to try to put on some chicken breasts and bake. Serve on rice!
