Good Morning 2017

Good Morning folks & Happy 2017. I hope that 2016 had some type of positivity in your life.
 Every year I set goals and try to reach them in a years time. 
Lets see how I did.

2016
1. Lose 50 lbs   This year I did Whole 30 & lost 19lb in 30 days. Then by  my birthday I'd lost 3 more. I'll post about my Whole 30 journey soon. :)
2. Continue to work on my degree  This semester I made a 4.0. I have 7 classes left !
3. Read 6 books. Does BOT count? If so, Unbreak my heart Toni Braxton, True Love, Jennifer Lopez,Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, Issa Rae ( LOVE), Yes, Please, Amy Poehler, Year of Yes, Shonda Rhimes, One Night, & Naughtier than Nice, Eric Jerome Dickey. 
4. Finish my kitchen My kitchen is still not finished. I really hate the backsplash .We still haven't put our electric outlet plates up. I also want a pot holder added to the kitchen.
5. Fence in our back yard  Our backyard is done !!! Did I post pictures?
6. Blog at least 2x a week I think I've done really well with this up until a couple weeks ago.
7. Workout at least 2x a week - I go through workout spurts. This definitely the longest I've gone without working out. 
8. Work on my relationship with my family - I've been trying. I went to Seattle to visit my brother the first time in 7 years. I've been holding conversations more regularly with others.
9. Detangle my hair once a week Yall my hair is so bomb and  I need to do a better job. I just don't want to detangle it. 
10. Give back/ volunteer I have given my time, resources, and kindness to many. 
11. Visit 2/10 states I need to visit - My plan was to go to Oklahoma and Kentucky this year, but I found out that I have already been to Kentucky. Did I post about Tulsa?
12. Go to 1x concert this year - CRUSHED it ( in the my Fat Amy voice) Chris Brown, Omarion, Tyrese, Monica, August Alsina... I feel like there was more....
13. Complete dream - Im not sure why I labeled this all ambiguously. I should have written " complete JMN's dream."
